I was able to play the video. Who ever thought of that was genius! It did look like it took some abuse when the larger waves came though. It must be built pretty durable. I bet there is also a learning curve to be able to run with your board and hop onto the wave.
As you know us Canadians are more into skating and snowboarding. Surfing looks like you swing more with your front foot where in snowboarding I find you back foot is key. They both seem to require a lot of entire body movement. I don't have any snowboarding photos of myself but I do have some skating ones. Your Costa Rica pictures are awesome. Was @corinnestokes on the Camera because there are some great shots of you.
I remember this wipe out clearly... totally got rocked by a goon.

Haha! Nice. Nah, it was a professional photographer set up on the beach with a huge lens. The whole trip was filled with amazing surf. This was two days, back to back, and the second day the photographer found Corinne and asked if I was her husband and if I had been surfing there the day before. They had an arrangement with the local surf shop, so we just had to go back there later and pay for a CD with the pictures. I was really stoked to be able to see what I looked like out there. :)
I have had that feeling before.
My entire life I have only ever had one hockey game video taped.
It was pretty cool to watch it and see what you look like from the perspective of others.
Even looking back at our UPENN days, I think that there is only one photo of me running. Since I ran the website it was usually me taking the photos... I may have a few of you to bring out of the wood works at some point...
Oh, that would be awesome! Yeah, if you find some old photos of me on the track, please do share. :)
thats pretty wild
This is my kind of surfing. Can't start the day without my steem dosis.
Hahah... nice. With those pathetic waves, I'd be doing the same. :)
Good post, thanks for sharing

Those are indeed some amazing stunts. I had not even seen that floating ramp. I have tried surfing only once but ended up spending more time drinking sea water than on top of the board. I admire all you surfers (from the safety of the beach!!). I am sure some day, I will try it again but I need to get strong sea legs for that!! LOL Hope you do get to surf more. Thanks for sharing this. Upvoted.@lukestokes -
At my end, I continued my observations of nuggets of wisdom from wildlife and wrote a Snoozing parrot economists blog and a blog 'How to Chill - 🐵
Monkey Style' with my wildlife photos and musings with a twist. I request you to take a look at it when you have time. Your comments, as always, would be an encouragement and incentive for me to make better blogs. Thanks
Great post and great photos. Thanks for sharing. Followed.
very useful device..
Hey Luke, cool video. That looked like it was a great setup for those guys and was setting them up perfectly on some of those waves!
I also looked at the post of you surfing! You have skills man! Being stuck in Tennessee has to be brutal for you.
Yeah, it's been rough, but I've found other fun activities to pass the time like edutainment, playing board games with my kids, and Steemit! :)
Maybe you should have a surfing trip / vacation once a year with the Steemit Money!
This floating ramp is a great idea!!
hey mate that is great fun ive seen the video
Coooool thanx for this post !
Amazing footage. Thanks for sharing. Upvoted and followed.
Looks like you had fun in Costa Rica! I've always wanted to surf but have never had the chance! Great post I will give you a follow :)
Thank you!
That's cool. Run and catch a wave.
Unfortunately the video isn't working. I guess surfing is such a fun, I should give it a try someday.
Are you getting that error directly on Vimeo? As I mentioned in the post, the privacy settings are currently not allowing views outside of vimeo directly.
nice :)
Your are really daring man. im really impress with moving bridge. is it rubber made?
This is not something I've ever seen before or personally experienced. I'm sharing it here because it's awesome. I don't know what it's made of, but I think there are some other videos explaining it. I'm going to check them out now.
Nice image shot, i never get to watch one of the video because is unavailable, thank for every thing else
Did you click the link? I mentioned in the post, you have to watch it directly on Vimeo. Maybe I need to make that more clear somehow.
Very nice post. I am located at the shore and enjoy watching some of these activities and it looks like a world of fun.
Please upvote and follow my profile also because i am new user

Damn! I'm gonna share with the engineering students in Cape Town that surf... no doubt they'll wanna make their own dock :P
Do it! If they do, be sure to post about it.
sweet, you make me want to give surfing a try
Thats awesome! I wanna try that too 😊. But im not a good swimmer 😂 i better be on a pool... lol. I follow you now 👍
Perfect sport Luke !! But i dare you to compete pikachu because the water ll be electrified !!
That's so cool man. Look like wave turbine. Awesome video!
I just saw this video yesterday on my youtube feed, this looks so amazing and so fun, would love to have one, it could be a great business to rent them at the beach lol.
Ah, I didn't see it there. Seems they are being pretty tight with the licensing on this one.
Nice video! Really give a good feeling!
Wow, that looks like fun. I've not seen that before either.
Who would have thought, running starts and jump starts! Or just sliding down the dock...
I may have to add this to my Library Surfing Shelf... ;)
😄😇😄

Whhooooooaaa! That's insane! Damn, I miss surfing so much! I haven't seen a dock like that before. that's sooooo big! damn! I need to go there in Costa Rica ASAP! I need to go surfing
