Surf Photos Avallanas Beach

Showed up at the beach break at the river mouth in Avallanas, just south of Tamarindo, and low and behold there is a surf photographer taking pictures with a huge lens. These are my first pics I have seen of myself on a board so that it was worth a consecutive day post. I am leaving out the ones of me eating sand with my board upside down.


Taking off on a left which is my backside


Looking to work my way back up the wave face


Working to hang on to the takeoff of this building wave


Feeling the wave chasing . . .


. . . and trying to escape before this overhead wave breaks


Taking a turn off the lip, not quite Kelly Slater crispness


Another right overhead


This is when surfing is fun


One wave peters out as swell builds behind me



Cruising in after the session

Garwood - Nice blog. Came across this blog randomly through Facebook. I lived in CR for a year after Pton - seeing a lot of familiar places. You are definitely a much better surfer than me though. Wishing I was there right now considering temps are below freezing here in DC. Pura vida, C. Gomez
