Pura Vida Rooster Fish in Costa Rica - Day 3
Welcome to the 3rd installment of videos featuring our first ever trip to fish with our friend Aaron aka @PeninsulaFishing raised in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica. We set out in search of the coveted Roosterfish and various other gamefish along the Costa Rican Pacific coast with Captain Iti of @SpikeSportfishing.
This time we make live bait in the form of lookdown fish aka moonfish and slow troll in search of Oliver's first ever Rooster Fish. More from this day on the next episode so make sure to subscribe!
Stay tuned for some of the most epic sequences from our best adventure yet throughout this series! This incident with the Cubera or Dogtooth Snapper eating the Mutton Snapper is not the last we see of this gnarly fish! Big Rooster Fish also make a showing in part 3!
Make sure to subscribe to the channel and TURN ON NOTIFICATIONS (click the bell icon) so you don't miss out on our daily uploads at 5pm Pacific!
Video has become one of the most valuable learning tools in fishing, as important to learn from as watching tape is in any sport. The only thing that beats it is actually LIVING it.

Overcoming Poo Stance
Learn how to look cool and stylish on a surfboard. Poo stance is a common error among beginner surfers. It is bad for 3 reasons. First, it is very unbalanced and you are likely to wipeout. Second, it is nonfunctional, so you won't be able to do turns and maneuvers. Third, it doesn't look very good because it looks like you are on the toilet.
Luckily, poo stance can be easily corrected. In this video surf instructor Helen talks about her own early poo stance problems, and she has lots of tips on how to beat it. She runs through feet, knees, hips and pelvis, and arm positioning. So don't let your surf stance hold you back. Your mom was right--posture is very important.
Here are some video highlights:
0:48 What is poo stance?
1:54 Feet placement
3:14 The front arm should not come over the toe side rail
4:14 Squeeze the imaginary watermelon in between the knees, so that the knees point inwards
5:25 Push the bush, or tuck the pelvis under
5:57 Swallow your ego and get your surfing videoed
We hope these tips will get you on your board and on to great adventures at Pura Vida Adventures—or anywhere else the waves take you!

Wave Selection (It's just like dating!)
A smart, cheeky guide to wave selection for beginner surfers. Gals, this isn’t the time to sell yourself short! You’ve got options out there—but that doesn’t mean they are all good. Surf coach Helen is back to explain why choosing a good wave is like looking for Mr. Right.
In this fun surf lesson that’s a favorite at our surf and yoga retreat in Costa Rica, Helen teaches you why patience in the water always pays off. Discover which waves aren’t worth your attention and how to get into the ideal position when “Mr. Right” comes your way.

How To Cutback
Here are the 4 steps to having the best surfing cutback on the beach. The cutback is a beautiful maneuver and it's relatively easy to learn. It's the first maneuver we teach our beginner surfing students because it's important that they're able to stay close to the power pocket of the wave. Also once you have the cutback under your belt it will make it much easier to learn bottom turns, top turns and floaters.
The ideal conditions for learning the cutback are small, gentle, slow breaking waves. At our beachfront retreat, we're lucky most days to have these conditions right out in front, just yards away. If the conditions get too big we hop in the van and head south to the point breaks. This video includes progression drills towards doing the full 180 degree cutback. Here are some video highlights:
0:45 When to do it
1:03 Stage 1 - look up
1:20 Stage 2 - compress, push the knees down
1:40 Stage 3 - rotate
3:42 Stage 4 - counter rotate
4:38 backside vs frontside
5:10 dry land practice
5:37 progression drills

How To Pop Up With Injuries
If ever you meet a surf instructor who tells you there is only one way of popping up, our advice is run away from them. Everyone has a different height, size, fitness and agility level; so it's ridiculous to ascribe everyone to the same type of pop up. A 70 year old woman is probably not going to want to do the same kind of pop up as a 13 year old boy.
At Pura Vida Adventures, we don't use the cookie cutter approach to surfing, and we have lots of techniques to get people up and riding. We believe that surfing is for everyone. Ok, it's true that if you come to our surf camp with a good level of fitness then you will progress faster. But everyone has to start somewhere.
In this video we run through the various knee pop ups we sometimes use with students who are struggling. Here are some video highlights:
1:30 the Hawaiian pop up
2:40 what not to do
3:23 a great progression from the Hawaiian pop up
3:45 one knee pop up
