TAMARINDO


The 3 weeks at Freddies started to drag a bit so I was pleased to move on up the coast to Tamarindo which is the centre of some nice surf spots
Had some nice surf in Tamarindo . Got an increase in swell to justify going on a day trip to Ollies Point and Witches Rock. Its was only $90 for the day including food and drink so pretty good deal. Plenty of boards to hire so its all good---Have been doing the $8 a session deal and surfing on the main beach on a reef about 200 metres out. Nice RH wave and plenty of time to get up and then its a cut back across the white water to hook into a nice peak coming in from the left.The trip to Witches and Ollies was great and took 1and a half hours to reach by boat. I had Ollies to myself on a point like Crescent Heads at 2-4 ft. The shortboarders stuck to the centre of the beach which had a bit more power for them. On a mal it was beautiful to have time to get up and line up these beautiful walling tubes, drew a hoot or two out of me, yeah! Was in Tamarindo for 6 nights and then moved on to La Fortuna up in the high country again.
