Where you’re going to starts with where you’re coming from. Out on the flat, using a surplus of critical section speed to bring it back to the source. Connecting the energy dots. photo provided by Surfing Nosara

While physics explains the phenomena with angle, spectrum and prism, we simply call it magic. Early sailors called them horses’ manes… Whatever term a person uses for offshore winds, it means one thing to us: Time to Paddle Out ! photo provided by Surfing Nosara

Set up nicely to lean hard on her inside rail, backhand, and project through the looming section ahead. Some summer size, soft light, and a paddler to negotiate- intangibles preceding the moment suddenly coalesce. photo provided by Surfing Nosara

The World’s Children will hold the future of the Earth and her Oceans in their hands. Beyond the thrill and the majesty of Surfing must lie a deep respect for, and a responsibility to, the Ecosystem that continually accommodates it. Surfing Stewardship. Suddenly, clean water, abundant marine life, coastal habitat, and human impact acquire greater […]

Grey on Gray summer morning. Except for the white jagged lightning line of this speed surfer’s round house cutback. Even in the mist and the light rain, it shines. Precision turn and tight radius in a limited space. photo provided by Surfing Nosara

The Stall: Some will run for the shoulder, but the accomplished might linger, waiting for the wave to do its thing. Putting on the brakes and knowing when to wait often yields greatly coveted tube time. Put yourself there when the time is right and it can all come together… photo by Surfing Nosara

Wet Season: The hammer and anvil of nimbocumulus cotton balls mushrooming into the heights. Onshore wind. Air thick and heavy, but bringing everything to Life. Glassy rarely, but fleeting moments do occur. Summer and its constantly changing moods… photo provided by Surfing Nosara

Wet Sand Tableau: Remains of incoming shore break meet an outgoing tide, leaving mirrored patterns of the waves themselves…Only to be erased by the next high tide…Cyclical, fleeting and beautiful. photo provided by Surfing Nosara

Lined Up: There are beach break days where all variables come together. On such days, the experienced Surfer will wait, able to discern patterns in the Ocean’s language of shifting, lurching waves encountering shallow bottom. Occasionally an “outside” wave will just pass the first sandbar, thus retaining its full potential as it stands up with […]

Too much of a Good thing can become a Bad thing, no ? Roaring offshore wind can ruin, rather than groom, otherwise perfect marching waves. Spectacle and Beauty, Yes. Easy to paddle into and navigate, No… photo provided by Surfing Nosara
Two Steps Forward
This fantastic video, compliments of John, summarizes my entire surfing experience (with or without a riptide) and reminds me of a not-so-pretty riptide rescue in Montauk summer 2010 (rescued ON a surfboard!). Two steps forward from chris levi on Vimeo.
SURFING IS… WITH KRIS CHATTERSON
The way Queens-based painter Kris Chatterson describes it, his early years were spent obeying the deafening call of the Atlantic. Growing up in Florida, he was a natural water-baby; the kind of kid you had to forcibly pull out of the ocean when his lips turned blue. He spent his teens riding Florida’s waves before, […]

Sun glinting on molten glass, before breath of wind touches wave’s face. Board moving over mirrored water, guided by feet through liquid silk. Wave dances with dancer- neither concerned about who will lead… photo provided by Surfing Nosara

Derided originally by those who favored the more common (and arguably more elegant) approach of the time to the backside barrel known as the “layback”, the highly functional lean forward technique pioneered by the Aussies in the 80’s known as the “Pig-Dog” was a revolutionary development, along with Simon Anderson’s Thruster. Now mostly called a […]
Photography, Surfing, and Eco-Friendly Wetsuits. Meet Anna Ehrgott
After I came across Anna Ehrgott’s lovely Tumblr page I reached out to see if she’d be interested in sharing her photos of Costa Rica with the Harmony community. Turns out she is a surfer, a seamstress, and designs both board bags and wetsuits. She has also devoted time to volunteering at a turtle sanctuary. […]

Leave that dark and frigid Winter behind! Dry season on the Nicoya: Warm and Offshore. Nothing like a simple low tide walk in the morning to get the head right, before the privilege of paddling out into friendly water for some salt and sun. Salve for the Soul ! photo provided by Surfing Nosara
SURFING IS… WITH DION MATTISON
When Monterey Bay native Dion Mattison moved to New York from California, it didn’t take long for the city to get under his skin. “I came to New York in 2009 to get my PhD in Philosophy from the New School for Social Research,” he said. “I’m now about a year off from completing that […]
