Pura Vida

Tue, 02 Dec 2008 19:59:45 -0700

Pura vida, the unofficial motto of Costa Rica. Literally translated as 'pure life', pura vida is the phrase most commonly associated with Costa Rica. It embodies a philosophy in which communal ties are strong and close; difficulties are overcome with a resilient and happy spirit, where life is enjoyed leisurely and to the fullest, and where fortune of whatever size is heartily celebrated.

There is nothing like staring out at the lineup during an incredible sunrise right before a day filled with surfing and soul searching.

Tue, 02 Dec 2008 19:59:45 -0700

Organized chaos, its how we like to describe our journey through life. It's great to give the appearance that things are out of control on the surface, but dig a little deeper and discover its all 100% in control

Thinking about how to describe that in one perfect phrase led us to our motto:

"Reckless Living, Responsible Life"

It's our motto, our way of life, our future, and now it can be yours as well. Well half of it can be....
