To avoid this in the future (although quite cool marks)

Rahel showed me the big bareel waves, lets say I survived

Costa Rica: Surf paradise Santa Teresa

July 6, 2022 in Costa Rica ⋅ 🌧 28 °C

Santa Teresa was supposedly started by Israeli, who built there own resorts back in the days and then the area expanded to become a surf haven today (its also full of Swiss!). Surf camps and restaurants/bars fill up the one main street, where quads, pick ups and motorbikes (all filled with surf board of course) pass each other.

I switched to short board here and got spilled and washed over quite a bit going to the line up. Losing the board in the impact zone definetely got my heart rate up to. I am still very beginner so can’t stand more than 1-2 actual waves for a few seconds, so I usually still spend half of the session in the white wash practising my technique.

It was fantastic connecting with Liza who is here for a longer time and seeing her sparkling with joy over her first own board 😃.Read more
