Had some interesting encounters given we had technically entered the country illegally even if we never set foot on land in most cases. Always good to have a spare US twenty on hand for the local "police" and I use that word in the broadest sense.

I realize that is a still photo and that may not break all that often but one can dream. I used to go to Costa Rica back in the pre internet days and frequently we would be the only people out at most of the places we surfed. That all changed in the last 15 years.

Okay Craig, you got me with the lefts... Thats a ridiculous photo... where is it?

In a "masted ketch"! Sailing up and down the central American coast in a boat looking for waves is my dream. If my wife would just leave me, I would do that tomorrow and never come back.

I agree on Costa Rica. I have a friend living in Dominical and was going a couple times a year. Now Dominical is as crowded as Huntington Beach…Maybe worse. It's the same at Playa Grande and Playa Hermosa. Witches Rock looks like Rincon. All the local ticos surf now.

The photo is Chicama, Peru.
