vbc_tilaran_bar

  You never want to miss the first time for anything… ….. Today we head to Costa Rica’s inaugural microbrew festival. Officially, it’s the 1er Festival de Cerveza Artesanal. It’s crazy to think that here in 2012 it’s still possible to be a part of the ‘first’ of anything at all, let alone when it’s with something as cool as craft beer. Yet here we are. There’s a real energy and movement toward creating a genuine, long-lasting microbrew scene here in Costa Rica. It’s a grassroots movement that comes from the simple desire of consumers to have more choice. It’s very ...read post

A very beautiful and inspiring letter…

witchs_rock_surf_camp

  *We received this via e-mail from our new friend Sheila…   Shawna/Elizabeth/Anyone! I just had to write you a note to let you know how life-altering my trip was to WRSC last week. There’s no way I couldn’t write because I literally had the best time of my life – and I’m “old”! I went by myself – first trip abroad alone ever. The only time I’ve ever traveled alone has been for work and that doesn’t count. I’m a single mom to 3 kids and they live with me full time, so when I found out they were ...read post

  As the Billabong XXL Global Big Wave Awards head into the final week of the year-long event period, a massive swell hitting Europe has produced new entries from Ireland which could affect the outcome of the event.   “We’d been tracking that swell for about a week,” Andrew Cotton, 32, from Croyde, Devon, United Kingdom. “All these swells that hit Ireland can be hit and miss with wind and this one couldn’t make its mind up. I’ve spent so many swells on that headland with the wind howling but not quite in the right direction and I honestly thought ...read post

Robert August Surfboard Winner: Gary Wnorowski

Give Away

  There are few moments in surfing that are as special as receiving your own custom made, hand-shaped surfboard. And when that board is shaped by the living legend Robert August right here on the beach in Tamarindo, well that’s just priceless! This past June we decided to give this awesome gift away to one of the people who booked during that month. To select the winner, we put all of the names in a hat and had our lovely team member Liz close her eyes and pull one out. The lucky winner was Mr. Gary Wnorowski, and Gary picked ...read post

We couldn’t be what we are without this feedback, so every now and again we take a moment to say ‘thank you’ and highlight some of ...read post
