Surf instructors - it is a scam .. those guys get paid to surf and hang out with barely dressed babes .. it is literally the easiest job in the world.
Yesterday me and Adam took it upon ourselves to be surf instructors to one of the young Canadian girls from the hostel. After drawing out a surfboard on the beach showing a few pop ups and then pushing her onto a few waves, we left her to her own devices and hit the surf. Was fairly choppy, but by the end it was the most productive surf of my trip.
Foot was stinging quite badly, but I got through .. don't want to waste a day waiting for it to completely heal.
That night we went out for some more beers, Sharkey's had a karaoke evening .. bit different and more difficult as you have to sing in front of a crowd. Many of the songs I like weren't on the list (Pearl Jam - Jeremy, Smiths - Charming Man, Blur - Parklife, Neil Young - Old Man), but after a bit of dutch courage I managed to belt out Johnny Cash - Ring of fire .. not my best performance though.
Tamarindo is nicknamed Tamagringo .. loads of Americans here .. not sure how many nights I can do continually drinking .. may need to quiet things down south in Playa Teresa.
Next day surfed Playa Grande again .. a big long beach break, a fun part of it is the fact you have to paddle across the river in order to get to the break. Apparently there are salt water crocodiles about, but I didnt see any.
Am eating a lot of rice and beans .. casados are big here, it is rice and beans and salad, plus sometimes they throw in an egg and some cheese. Mixed with some green and red hot sauce it is a tasty filling meal.
That night I went to El Pacifico, ended up buying shots of tequila and dancing a bit of salsa.
