April 5^th – 7^th

Our next few days in Nosara were insane. We had solid 4-8 foot surf, with perfect conditions and evening glass every night. The way I describe Guiones is like epic Florida that doesn’t close out, with long swell intervals, just bigger and better exponentially. The sessions all seem to run together, but I remember specific waves. The biggest section I have beaten on a left to vertical whack, many frontside wraps in a sick pocket, speed walls that made me light-headed, and more turns on single waves than you get in a typical session back home. Andrew and I also missed the call one morning by pulling up to the beach between sets, waited for a few minutes to declare it was only head high, went back got our retro CI fishes to find that on the return there were sick, sucking four to five feet overhead sets macking through. So, we sacked-up and paddled out the twinnies. It was pretty steep and drops were a challenge, but those things fly, fastest I had going on water not behind a ski boat for sure…. Now we just had to be sold on the job front.

On Wednesday afternoon we had a meeting with our prospective broker. The outcome was what I was hoping for, that both decisions would align and make the overall decision easy. Well, with 4 major development projects going on, the opportunity for Sarah to manage the HOA for one of the projects and the beauty of the county and friendless of the locals who wouldn’t want to buy real estate in Nosara??? Anyways, we were pretty sure during the meeting that it was a go, but we made ourselves wait 3 days to tell anyone, just for due diligence.
