Surf in St. Augustine

We have a nice little swell today and it looks like we should have some good surf through the weekend. What started out as a cloudy day has turned out to be pretty nice and the waves keep getting better... I wish I was surfing!

If you are not into surfing stop by the Anastasia Island Skate park this Saturday at 12:00 where we will be doing our weekly photo shoot and best trick contest!

With good surf this weekend seems like a good time to get a new board - and we have a ton of surfboard sales going on so stop in and see us!

Sand From Costa Rica, Playa Hermosa

Since I've traveled to Costa 11 times now, I'm going to say without a doubt, this place is my favorite so far. Everyone has heard of Costa Rica by now and I'm sure 95% of it has been good.....because it is. If there ever was a paradise here on earth then it would have to be somewhere in the country of Costa Rica. Great Surf, Great Food & most importantly, GREAT PEOPLE!...They live a lifestyle considered "Pura Vida" or the good life as most would say. Everything from the tropical jungles to all the different coast lines and mountain areas, you can explore as much as you like for as long as you like and never get bored. Try and Surf the following breaks while you are there: Tulene, Escondida, Playa Esterios, Boca Barranca, Playa Negra & Little Hawaii just to name a few. Just about everywhere you go, you are bound to find good surf just keep your attitude in the right direction. I've personally found the central to southern coast on the pacific side allot more fun year round with less crowds and a better vibe but the northern pacific has some incredible reef breaks that you are sure to get some good long barrels if you can hassle the waves away from the Brazilians and locals. If you are in Hermosa/Jaco Area make sure you stop by "Jungle Surf Cafe" for dinner one night. This place has some of the best food in the entire country. Take in a waterfall or two when you get surfed out and you won't be disappointed.

Sand From The Colorado River Inside The Grand Canyon

This is an adventure that everyone should at least try and do before they exit this life and find out what life can be all about here on earth......HIS creation of the Grand Canyon and how mighty this river is can't really be described or explained but I will provide a picture of me and the wife as we ventured down the river looking back up at the canyon. The water was super cold but it really didn't matter since the temperatures reached over 100 degrees throughout the area. It was like a refreshing mud bath and the waves were at least chest high at times......

August 1st - FREE Question

August is here and where did the month of July go? Miss Alicia called in at exactly 9:00 on the dot today and asked for the FREE Question of the month for the CHALLENGE of 88. She asked for number 30 - What clothing company was Andy K sponsored by on the Nicaragua trip? and the answer is PLANET Earth.

Which is a good tie in - if you have not seen the Discovery Channel's Plannet Earth DVD set you should really check it out - some good stuff there.
