June 17th 2006

Hello everyone,

Greetings again from the beautiful country of Costa Rica...

The last two days since my last blog entry have been epic! Yesterday, June 16th, we awoke to blue bird tropical skies for our 4am departure to Playa de Coco. From the sheltered harbor of Playa de Coco we took a 25' skiff out to sea for an hour boat ride to Witch's Rock and Ollie's Point. Witch's Rock and Ollie's Point are two of the most beautiful places in Costa Rica. Google the two locations, or check out Bruce Brown's Endless Summer movies-either option will give you a little view into what we experienced. Yesterday's trip was a dream come true for me! From the boat trip, being in a remote Costa Rican park to catching the best wave of my life-the day was a memory that will live in my mind and heart for a long time. I am adding the pictures to the gallery while we eat at a modest cafe outside of Playa Negra.

Today, Saturday June 17th blessed me with more pictures, video and memories. The days keep getting better here! And with each passing day it is getting harder to leave this beautiful tropical country. This morning we awoke at 5am to get a jump on the early light conditions with the sun rising into a near cloudless sky. Our destination was a bit south of where we're staying at Iguanazul and has to remain secret. With the Southern Hemisphere swell lapping at the Costa Rican shores, we had an epic day of consistent 10' wave sets, windless conditions and plenty of sunshine for shooting. I am looking forward to the week ahead...

Tomorrow has the swell in full effect. We are anticipating another day of sunny skies, big waves and plenty of video opportunities. I will post more pictures in the afternoon...

Pura Vida!

Max
