In this episode Joe Walsh, Niki Hurren and Robert August talk about their own experiences of shaping a surfboard and the magic of that first surf. 

One of the biggest questions people have about visiting Costa Rica is "what's the rainy season like?". This episode aims to answer this question as Joe, Niki and PMAC explain what to expect from the rain, the weather, the swell, the crowd, water quality, getting around the country, and more. Listen in as the boys reunite in the recording studio upstairs above the brewery, hanging out and sharing some local knowledge. Pura vida!

Psst!  Guess what. You don't have to be a professional surfer to make a career out of surfing. There are all kinds of surfing jobs out there, as well as lots of jobs that will allow you to surf every day. And there are plenty of opportunities for you to start your own business structured around your surfing needs. This episode starts the discussion of how to approach this almighty quest, and hopefully leads you closer to finding your answer.

What’s the strangest food we’ve ever eaten on our travels? What’s the best way to pack surfboards for a surf trip? Is it worth traveling to Costa Rica in the rainy season to get good waves? Where has been our favorite wave to surf? Feel free to EMAIL THE SHOW at GetOutandSurfCR@gmail.com We hold on to all emails and we'll answer your questions on the podcast, so don't be shy!  Pura vida, Joe, Niki, PMAC

Andrea Diaz and the Get Out and SURF crew hang out and discuss what it was like in the early days of professional surfing in Costa Rica. We talk about Andrea’s advanced surf coaching and the upcoming All Women Surf Retreats she’s hosting at Witch’s Rock Surf Camp this summer. But mainly we just talk about surfing and some of the “lesser known” surf breaks along the Nicoya Peninsula. You could have lived and surfed in Costa Rica your entire life and you probably didn’t even know about many of these surf spots. There are some real nuggets in this episode, you definitely want to check it out. Pura vida!

Some great stories here, like how Joe first met Patrick McNulty back in the early days of Witch’s Rock Surf Camp. Joe was giving away the farm, focusing entirely on the surf experience with no handle on how to actually make money from the business. But the surf camp survived and thrived! Also hear about what happened when a huge tropical storm hit Tamarindo (hint: boats sink), and what it was like to experience the 7.8 earthquake in 2012. This was a really cool episode to make, hanging out with Joe Walsh, Niki Hurren, and P-MAC. Enjoy and pura vida!

How rad is this?? We just hung out with Mark Cunningham, bascially the best bodysurfer in the world, a veteran lifeguard at Pipeline, and such a talented surf artist! Listen up. Then go join the Surfrider Foundation if you haven’t done so already.

The Get Out and SURF podcast travels to the North Shore of Hawaii to hang out surfing legend Peter Cole. Peter is a true big wave pioneer and one of the North Shore’s original watermen. He won the Makaha International surfing contest in 1958, considered the “world title” at that time. More impressive than his competitive record is the fact that he remained an active and respected surfer well into his golden years.
