Raw material. Local Costa Rican balsa, which will be turned into another exquisite custom surfboard by Steve Dunham at his shop in Nosara.

Steve is an old-school craftsman, and does it all, and does it better than almost anybody else.
Ho hum, just another piece of artwork by Steve Dunham.
Meanwhile, back in Nosara...
But if you'd like something a bit fancier perhaps, well then, that too can be arranged. Check out the Timarai, down south of the Jaco area, in the town of Parrita.

Beachbreak waves in Parrita, Costa Rica.
Everybody that I talked to, before going to Parrita, insisted that there was no surf there. Uh, ok. Sure. Sure thing. Whatever.

And as a final send-off, I'll just leave a little something right here by way of confirmation that there are other, less well-known, left pointbreaks in Costa Rica.

Ok then, that's enough for now, maybe see you on the next one.

Left-hand point not too many people manage to get to, on a small but fun day.
Lots of fun in the peeling small stuff.
Nice setup.
