When family came to visit in Costa Rica we explored some secret waterfalls and Luna caught her very first wave at Pavones. We also discovered that she really likes what in Spanish is called Mamon Chino.

Beach Life with Baby – Highlights from months 9 and 10
It’s September and I’ve finally got enough internet to upload this little video, so even though it’s only a couple of months old it feels like a flashback. Here are a few highlights from our life in Nicaragua with Luna as a 9 and 10 months old. She’s walking, surfing, and loving the water.
Body Glove Surf Leggings
Living in Nicaragua I don’t worry too much about fashion. I wear the same thing every day. It definitely makes life easier that way. BUT, in running the Surf With Amigas retreats, I’m constantly exposed to ladies with super cute yoga and surf wear. Sometimes I feel like I need to upgrade my situation in order to fit in. Luckily, I picked up some new leggings by Body Glove. They’re made out of bathing suit material so they’re great for surf, yoga, or just hanging out in the tropics. They’re super cute and functional. I got tons of compliments on them right away! Here are some photos from a typical day at work/play!
A Day In The Life at 4.5 Months
Set a goal, attract what you want, work hard, and live your dream. After loving life as a competitive pro surfer, then a pro free surfer, building a business and relocating full time to Nicaragua, I wanted to have a family. I’m now happily married living in a house that we built with our two dogs and a 4.5 month old baby girl Luna. Here’s a little video sample of daily life on a day off from running my Surf Yoga Retreat business. Life is good!
Back in the Water after 3 months

I wrapped her up in a sling, covered her head with a little hat and we’d walk down to the ocean with the dogs and look at the waves. It seemed impossible to leave her on the beach and out of my arms for any length of time, but day by day I got more and more eager to catch a wave.
12 weeks and Starting to Show?
I’m a skinny human. Always have been. When I was a toddler, my mom was always trying to fatten me up. She’d feed me to the bursting point and then insist on “one more bite….” and then she joked that she was glad that the high chair held a full belly full, as everything she had painstakingly put into my mouth came right back up and she had to start all over again!
