witchs_rock_nachos

….. Last month we paid tribute to one of the long-time staples of the Witch’s Rock Surf Camp experience. Having already developed what one could describe as a cult-like following, the ‘Nachos as Big as Your Ass’ from our Eat at Joe’s restaurant gained even more notoriety upon our April announcement that we created and added Pale Ale nacho cheese sauce to the recipe. An already heaping, delicious and loaded plate of nachos with a name you’ll never forget was taken to a new level of delicious using our very own Witch’s Rock Pale Ale. Just how famous have Nachos ...read post

donation_eat_at_joes

….. There are very few things quite as important to us here at Witch’s Rock Surf Camp as keeping the beaches of Tamarindo clean. We live and breathe the sand and ocean that we’ve come to call home here in Costa Rica, and our goal is to always leave the beaches we regularly enjoy better off than we found them. In the grand scheme of things, our oceans and beaches really are in trouble. It doesn’t take a genius to realize that a Texas-sized island made up of garbage floating around in the pacific ocean isn’t healthy for anyone. And ...read post

For smaller surf shops looking to find ways ...read post
