Travelers Tips and Stories about Surfing

We searched the coast line for 5 hours to find a new unridden break. After a lot of trekking through forests and rocky beached we finally gave up and took a decision to check our regular surf spot just before sunset. We arrived just as the sun was setting and managed to finally catch some waves. The light was too good not to try to capture and I was happy I brought water camera to get this shot.

Our recent move to North Shore Oahu was the best thing we could’ve done. Within two weeks we ended up buying two longboards and surfing almost everyday. School and work seem to be an afterthought. The waves and silence of the ocean have seemed to steal our souls.

After a long day of surfing, kayaking, and zip lining throughout the coast of Costa Rica, we were ready to throw in the towel for the day. After the sun had set it was time for one more wake. This photo reminds me to make the most of every single day, and I hope it will do the same for you.
