anybody going on some trips soon?

Just got back from Mexico, Puerto Vallarta.... I always have a good time down there. Uncrowded points and reefs. Great nightlife, and chill locals. I want to start planning the next trip. Maybe Nicaragua, somewhere unspoiled. How bout you windswellsucks, are you heading back to Hawaii this year???

 

Hoping to go to Nicaragua in April for my 30th B-day. It would be my first trip outside the U.S. Unless you count Hawaii.

 

Taking a trip to Costa in January. Never been there before so you can imagine how stoked I am to get down there. Winter trips to tropical climates are always the best. Happy thanksgiving SI community!

 

looking to hook up with some surf trippers to split expenses! been doing some solo traveling and it get pricey just getting to the airport and excess bag fees are a big chunk of change would be good to split the parking and rent a cars even share my coffin bag... just throwing it out there is any solo trippers need a partner or if anyone needs an extra for a group trip to fill a boat trip??

I missed you guys. Really. I tried to be stubborn and not post but whatever. I just got back from 12 days in puerto rico, most of which was spent in Rincon. It definitely helped me find my stoke again. Such an amazing place. When I first showed up I spotted a few guys riding absolute monsters in side shore conditions at tres palmas. I went around to Antonio's and Pool's to find DOH glass. That gradually faded from oh sh*t to really rippable over the next 4 days. It went flat for a day, then a new pulse. I surfed 3 times a day. Some spots were crowded but there were some real gems out there too. Watch out for the rocks!

 

Sounds like were gonna all have some fun soon (or already have)! Going to Puerto Rico right after Christmas for a week, coming back here for a two weeks to work a little, going back to PR for 10 days, then I'm meeting my buddy in Costa Rica (with my one way ticket) and staying for 6 weeks. Can't wait!!!!

 

soooooo glad to hear PR is getting some swell. I will be there for the fifth time this december, 17th-28th. Last year we got snowed in since Newark got bombed with snow so we ended up being there with 10ft swell for 14 days. Ahhhhhhh!!!! It was amazing, hoping for some of the same. Ill post some pics of this trip after I get back. Heres from last year...its my flickr account

no trips any time soon. Going to drive up the CA coast for a wedding in SF in the spring. But with the new baby going on 5 months old, the only trips I will be taking are to the end of my street for a quick surf... My last hoorah was Maui last fall. I dont plan on flying anywhere for a while. Hopefully I can get a family surf trip planned in a year or 2. But I spent a decade doing it up constantly on the road and flying around for surf... Im on hold for a while... So I shall live vicariously through the rest of you. Godspeed and groundswell my friends! Stay thirsty!

 

sounds like a good idea im looking to travel with someone to Rincon, Puerto Rico in february..let me know if you would want to meet up..

Nosara the week of xmas. First CR trip. Keen to get there.

 

Saipan and then Bali next month over Christmas... stoked!

 

Aguadilla PR for 2 weeks over Christmas. pretty pumped

 

yo gnarles, ever been to PR before?

 

I have not. dad goes all the time to kiteboard but this will be my first. Have you?

 

I'm actually heading to Rincon in February for a week. Never been. I was also hoping to meet up with people while out there. Let me know your plans.

 

Doing the Family Christmas dance back west in Carolina for ten days, coming back home for a week, then me and a buddy are doing PR for the first time (for me) in Jan. for 10 days. This time of the year is stressful at times for a dad/husband! You think it'd be enough to put food on the table, clothes on the backs, and roof over the heads, Then you compound Christmas on top of it, and try to balance a surf addiction. Things can get interesting to say the least! It'll be nice to slow things down with some island time. It's cool I got a wife who understands!

 

Anyone been to nicaragua? What should I prepare for? Should I rent boards or bring mine?
