How about K72? No pics but in high school we would hit La Calafia(sp?), K38,K72 and finish at the SanMiguelZone for spring breaks/summer holidays. Baja is a golden zone. Just gotta be coo, lay low and dig!

edit:
On topic:

Similar, in that personal style dictates lines, fluidity and success.
Complementary in that one takes place on a solid medium that is seen/felt as flow through our bodies and the other that is within a fluid environment and again our bodies act with fluidity; this all equals shredding Bra!

I have been hanging out Playa Guiones Costa Rica for the past week with my lovely girlfriend. I have scored everything from wonderful yoga at the Nosara Yoga Institute with my gal to 5' -12' warm water surf.




Got a buddy from Cardiff meeting me today. We are thinking of getting a boat charter out of Tamarindo to go surf Witches Rock

PURE VIDA !!!

I have enjoyed pretty much all aspects of climbing in the past 30 years. Free climbing to a modest level, Big walls, Alpine/Mountaineering routes and of coarse steep Ice. Spent a bunch of money on travel, time and the wide range of gear needed to experience these disciplines of climbing. I must say that at this point in my life the pure enjoyment and level of fun that surfing (and skydiving for that matter) gives me, is considerably different than what i am getting out of climbing. Don't get me wrong I will climb till the day i die on some level and will all ways enjoy it. But man the surf in Costa Rica really paid back dollar for dollar in comparison to a international trip equivalent with climbing.

PURE VIDA!!!

^^^^ That is great ekat. I grew up in and graduated from Incline High. For me the surf was never a consideration to be ridden. The Hatchett Bros I believe surfed the lake a couple times back then just to say. Great photo!

Some more Central America love in honor of the adventurous Aussie mate's that had problems in Sinaloa Mex. Surf on Brothers!!!!!

Ekat/Eastside-

Quality rock close to surf:

Is there any coatal Granite above Santa Cruz? I surf IB to Oceanside and love the close proximity of granite to the surf. Once you get towards San Clemente and North it seems like all you get is dirt clods.

I surfed Eureka before I was climbing and don't have a recollection of the rock.

I think Warbler dropped a hint on rock near surf in baja. My guess would be Catavina area, perhaps Conoas?

I know people climb near Lover's Beach in Cabo but I remember that rock being pretty gtitty (pre climbing days) plus too far.

Ocean Beach SF has been going off!!! Noriega is as close to a home break as I had. It's not an easy place to learn even when it's small. I spent countless hours doing what the photographer did: scan up and down the beach looking for the perfect sections. They were there, but boy did the peaks shift.

The gear-

I've tweaked out so hard on my surf quiver that I started designing my own boards on a C&C program.

9-2 TJ Sloughs Gun

6-8 Blacks model

I started climbing 2 1/2 years ago and putting together a rack and all the gear is equally tweaky.

Either pursuit, individually can lead to an angry wife and no savings, put them together- not good.

BTW- Climbing on hold- this weekend will be good!
