DREAM VACATION: COSTA RICA: Location

Costa Rica is in between Nicaragua and Panama, the country is approximately 7 hours (connecting through Miami) away from flying out of Toronto's international airport. The motivation that I have for traveling is very strong, I enjoy flying thus leaving to Costa Rica would give me much enthusiasm and anticipation because I know I am arriving in a whole new destination different from mine. Below is a map of Costa Rica courtesy of http://geology.com/world/costa-rica-satellite-image.shtml

My Favourite Surfboard By Al Merrick

My Favourite Surfer: Kelly Slater

Kelly Slater clinched an historic and unprecedented 11th ASP World Title. Slater, 39, is the first surfer to achieve 11 ASP World Titles, an accomplishment spanning two decades of an astounding career during which he has dominated competitive surfing as both the youngest and oldest ASP World Champion. Slater has redefined the surfing world, and inspires me to always improve and move forward. Regardless of his age, he overcomes any criticism and simply defeats all his competitors. He is the biggest icon of the surf world, and motivates me to become a better surfer. Here is a video clip of his recent world title championship (number 11 for him). Surfing requires amazing fitness and dedication, and in my dream vacation to Costa Rica; I need all of these factors and inspirations.
