What Clients Say
Memorial
Shaggy
Shaggy passed away in April 2012 unexpectedly. We miss his vivacious spirit and love of life. He taught hundreds of people to surf and to laugh while learning a new sport. Shaggy began surfing when he was ten years old. His natural ability and drive were highlighted in 2007-2008 when he won First Place in his category in Costa Rica’s National Surfing Competition (Circuito Nacional de Surfing). Since his win, he has continued participating in local and national competitions. A favorite with tourists for his quick humor and effortless English, he has been giving classes since 2008. When he was not working, he surfed and studied English.
