Good morning everybody,

Mondays arn´t quite so rubbish in Costa Rica. None of the usual awakening with a cactus struck on the inside of your brain, dragging yourself into the shower in some vain attempt to try and awaken from your slumber. Getting the drip out of the cuboard to get it loaded up with coffee for a direct injection of Caffiene into the system. Then stumbling out of the door into thew pissing wind and rain to get nearly run over on the way to work. Where you spend the rest of the day subtly surfing the internet trying quite hard to make it look like your working, when the only thing your trying to do is keep your breakfast down.

Thankfully none of that for me this fine Monday Morning, i awoke at the crack of dawn, about 5.30, without the aid of an alarm clock. I took a look outside and the sun was just about to start shining. I grabbed my surfboard and gave it a quick wax. The hangover feeling lacking as i was a good boy and went to bed early. Clad only in shorts i headed down to the beach, a 2 minute walk made only slightly annoying by the fact of the gravel drive. I can hear the surf before i can see it, a nice heavy pounding sound. I get to waters edge to behold just over head height waves, the wind blowing lightly offshore, rolling in in quick sets and not another soul out in the water. I head down to waters edge a dip my toe in and still as warm as it was the day before. I get out back fairly quickly and just as the sun rises over the mountains behind me. I caught one of the best waves i have ever riden.

I hope you enjoy your monday morning as much as i have enjoyed mine!
