A Surfaholic’s Reflection: How Surfing Became an Addiction

IMG_4179

  I remember the first time I ever got on a surfboard. It was about 10 years ago on some beach in Byron Bay, Australia. I was three months into a 10-month trip traveling around the world. Since seeing the big, majestic waves in Tahiti and Fiji, I was itching to see if I had what it takes. So when I arrived to the land down under, I promised myself that I would take my first surf lesson. And I did. It was me, an 11-ft monstrosity of some cushioned-top-pseudo-like-surf-boat, and some knee-high waves. I remember lugging my board to ...read post

If you’ve been to our surf camp in recent months, you’ve probably noticed that we’ve added a few things to the Witch’s Rock experience. One of those additions that we’re particularly stoked about is that we are now brewing our own beer high in the hills near Arenal Lake and bringing it down to the beach. The arrival of our first signature microbrew to the shores of Tamarindo was a long awaited moment for us. Proudly given the name ‘Witch’s Rock Pale Ale’, our new beer means more to us than just another option on our menu. What it really ...read post
