August 12, Playa Avellanas, Cost Rica

 Two days in a row surfing, that's rare!  Day 2 of surfing in Costa Rica, we went just south to the little surfer community of Playa Avellanas.  It is actually a 30 minute walk on the beach, but we drove.  This is a more unforgiving wave that has short power.  I rented an 8 foot board.  It wasn't by favorite size and was a little wide for me.  Did a 2-hour rental for $15.  I surfed the entire 2 hours straight, but there was a lot of waiting for the right wave.  I caught a few, but it wasn't anything epic.  Luckily, it was cloudy, so avoided the sunburn.  We ate at Lola's on the beach afterwards to the music of Exodus by Bob Marley.  Evan got some great shots of me on my best ride.  At the end of this session, I was kinda racked up, by getting hit by the board in the shoulder, another hip bruise, sore ribs and rubbed knees from board wax.  I felt fulfilled after 2 days of surfing.  I'd definitely like to come back surfing to Costa Rica.  Board rentals are pretty cheap.
