Day 3:  No need for an alarm clock.  We awake to the sound of howler monkeys at the crack of dawn.  We have a hearty breakfast with the carbs needed for this days surf experiences. After breakfast, we prep our bodies and minds with another session of Yin Yoga.  We are now ready for some more clean waves.  At night we build a massive bonfire.  It's a scene right out of of a blockbuster movie.

Day 4:  The journey home begins but we will always carry the awe of nature and the moments where we were one with the water. 

Tentative Daily Itinerary:

Day 1: Arrive in San Jose, Costa Rica. Our regional flight takes us to Puerto Jiménez which is a 45 minute Drive to Cabo Matapalo.  We are now in Nowhere Costa Rica -- the densely forested and beach-fringed cape is an otherworldly landscape.  A web of trails traverses the foothills, deserted except for migrating wildlife from Corcovado National Park.  Along the coastline, miles of empty beaches, except for the local surfers.  We end the day with a Yin Yoga practice as we prepare our minds and bodies to get into the zone. 

Day 2: The team wakes up and we fuel our bodies with a Tico breakfast. There are a number of breaks in this area. Our expert surf instructors guides us into whichever swell is bombing at that moment.  Nothing beats being on your board with the ocean on one side and the uninhabited jungle on the other.  Surfing in raw nature puts us into a non-ordinary state of consciousness where we find ourselves .  This is the moment we have all been searching for.  We get to share it with our teammates and surf coaches.  What a connection. We break for lunch and a restful couple of hours lounging on hammocks.  We are paddling out again in the afternoon.  That evening as we retire to our bamboo eco-friendly lodging we are healed by a massage that preps the body for the next day of curls and cutbacks.
