After pulling into a barrel and getting my bikini torn off, I took this shot from under a tree. Unknown surfer, finding shade in Costa Rica.

Traveling by bus, I had plenty of time to learn Spanish and make new friends. This shot was taken as I crossed the first border of my trip into Nicaragua.

Unwilling to leave these perfect lefts, I camped alone on this deserted beach with just the mosquitos for company. An early bird snapped this photo of me working on my backside game.

A rainstorm in southern Mexico totally changed my perception of what is possible with a two wheel drive rental car.

When the swell dropped, I found balance with a new hobby – driftwood yoga.
