    Prj thats a good price for tickets during those dates. For Camping we have little stations set up on our property that are framed in with wood and filled with sand so you get a nice soft spot to set up your tent under a tree. There are some Hammocks and it is literally right on the beach so you will always know when the surf is going off. We charge $20 a night but the reality of it is that we dont let to many people camp so it would be just you guys there, nice and relaxed. For Food depending on how fancy you want to be cooking stuff up you can get you fill for $20 a day MAX. if you are eating granola and fruit in the morning and for lunch with a big meal at night than you are looking at less. We will be throwing down some BBQs and breakfast burritos post epic surf sessions too so yea i would say $20 a day for food would have you covered.
    Last thing is the Shuttle service to ST, There is the public bus that leaves from San jose at 6 am and 2 Pm which has its final stop about 15 minutes away from our place on foot. The bus usually gets packed to the brim, dont be surprised if you see some chicken on it and there is no AC so be sure to get a window seat. That bus is around 12 bucks than the other option is the private shuttle which is 50 and that is AC, and will drop you off wherever you want to go, they dont carry to many people either so its a bit more easy going.
    Get back to me when you have a good idea of whats going on and what method you want to take about getting here and I can get it all arranged for you guys.

    For some reason I didn't notice your post until now.
    All sounds good to me. Only thing at the minute is I'm waiting on my new board and don't want to go on a trip without it. I thought it was going to be March time, but it's sounding more like April now so I'm a little reluctant to book something until I figure out if I'm going to have the board to take.
    Hopefully we can figure things out. Who else is likely to be in?

    Hey, Yea Iggy. Whenever you want to camp out your welcome to post up on our property so let me know. I have been living in a tent for the past few weeks and its pretty awesome, with holiday season in full swing and there being so many people around I gave up my bed and went out to one of the platforms to set up a camp. Got a clothes line set up, in the process's of designing a board rack into this one tree to have them sit perfectly but yea the whole scene is pretty nice. Can hear the Ocean at night when your lying down and the cool winds keep the tent from turning into a sweat box.

    Do you think you can find out any info about my board please Chris? If it's possible to get even a rough date locked in it'd help out.
    The waves have been so pants at home lately I haven't even needed a board let alone a good wave board. I think I'd be struggling even on a Potato!
    Thanks!

    Swell is dying down now but If local knowledge serves me right These NW swells that are allegedly supposed to just swing by will be pushed in by an underlying SW and we will get some misto NW rogue sets popping up every now and than. Mid sized SW rolling in toward middle of next week so we will hopefully get some good footage of that combined with this last swell and possibly some potato footage of the small days inbetween hahah.
    On a side note does anyone have any confirmed dates yet? or are the majority of the people still tenative? If anything is confirmed be sure to tell your friends and get them down here. Want to make it an unforgettable time full of barrels, firewires and some Imperials here and there haha.
    stay posted for the next vid!
    Yewww

    Ok, After having a 2 week flat spell including the smallest waves I or most anyone else have ever seen down here, there is finally some good swell on the way.
    Wait I take that back, there is some epic swell on the way, swell that is going to make this whole end of the peninsula light up. Early south swell season anyone??

    I want to get a still shot of 102 hours with a little arrow pointing at CR saying "I was here". Some good footage will come from this, mark my words.
    Stay tuned for a video.
