\"\"<\/a>Tony and Dad woke up bright and early on New Year’s Day and caught a 7AM flight to Costa Rica to spend a week surfing with our friends from Jesse’s Gym and Surf school (www.samarasurfschool.com<\/a>).\u00a0 Yep we boarded the Unamog and braved “treacherous raging rivers” to surf six different spots such as San Miguel, Coyote, Navara, etc. and had a great time.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>On one of the trips, we stopped at a turtle preserve outside of Coyote to check out the hatchery.\u00a0 We were in luck.\u00a0 Just as we got there, a nest of nearly 60 turtles began hatching, and rising out of the sand.\u00a0 What a sight.\u00a0 We then let them go at the beach and watched them waddle to the shore break as they were on their own to survive in the ocean.\u00a0 The turtles need to crawl their way to the break so that they can exercise their legs and arms for the long paddle and orient themselves to where the females will return to where they were hatched to lay their eggs once they are of age.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>We also met some great people.\u00a0 Constance and Ingo (far right)were our surf guides and what a hoot.\u00a0 Both are outdoors experts (they provide wilderness training and guide in Alberta Canada) and a barrel of laughs.\u00a0 Winnie and Connie (Asian babes)\u00a0are sisters who we were lucky enough to have join us.\u00a0 They were up for anything and great companions.\u00a0 Tony felt better after taking a stool softener.\u00a0 All that rice you know.<\/p>\n
