Dusk session at the river mouth last night yielded a shark in the water. Nothing big but big enough to make me start seeing shadows. That first set of rocks to the south of the Tamarindo river mouth throws up a nice relaxed wave at high tide. My back was stiff and it was nice to cruise a few as opposed to being all grrrrrr and pumping myself down the line.

This morning I spooked a ray while making my way out. Looked just like the one on the side of a u-haul. Big as f. Lonely dawn patrol. Fish jumping all around me. Saw what was probably a little shark swim by 2' away. Makes me miss not being able to see what's in the murky cold NNE waters. Not that much.

Leaving this afternoon. Carolina bound.

Conclusions:

The surfing is world class. What people here consider flat is what New Englanders call a fun day out. There's always a spot heaving something.

Definitely saw some massive stuff the first few days here humbled.

The locals here in Tamarindo are assholes with no etiquette. They back paddle and snake waves. We don't do that at home. The toursists do, but the regulars play by the rules. Had I been traveling with a few more gringos I suspect they would've played by the rules but I was easy meat as a lone wolf. Next time this is a bro trip for that reason.

Tamarindo is basically a Central American version of myrtle beach. It's kinda dumpy. I'd explore before I came back.

Playa Grande was beautiful but without a vehicle to hit the right spots at the right times it was a pain in the scrorum.

South Pacific before the winter is out. Viet2Barrels?
