Robert August has been traveling to Costa Rica for over 18 years now. He has built a second home here and travels to this amazing destination on a constant basis and is considered by many as one of the locals.

The locals refer to themselves as Tico or Tica. The ideal is that of a very friendly, helpful, laid back, unhurried and environmentally aware people. Pura Vida (literally, Pure Life) is a way of life in Costa Rica that encourages living in a peaceful manner surrounded by nature, family and friends.

Our Endless Fun group has been visiting Costa Rica for close to two decades. 2006 was one of the best years we have seen, with great weather, offshore winds, overhead waves and a great turnout for the Robert August Charity Challenge.

Guatamela, located in Central America, was the ideal second location for The Endless Journey Continues. Our crew consisted of our leader and star of the classic film Endless Summer, Robert August, his son Sam August, Endless Summer 2 star Robert ‘Wingnut’ Weaver, Huntington’s Bud Llamas, Dodger Kremel, Mary Osbourne and Costa Rica’s finest, Brookes Wilson.

In Guatemala, we learned two things very quickly: The pictures we were sent of the waves did not do them justice and the textbooks could never compare to experiencing the Mayan ruins in person. While in Guatemala, we discovered hundreds of miles of black sand beaches, countless breaks with no crowds and an amazing culture and history. Now the only question: Do we keep it a secret or shore our stories with the rest of the surfing world?
