"Costa Rica was the third part of my getaway mission in winter 2018/19, following five weeks in Mexico and a fortnight spent in LA seeing my brother before that. I'd been super hyped to get out there since meeting Miguel Castro and Francisco Saco at Vladimir Film Festival 2017 in Croatia, where they were hosting the world premiere of Saco's full length Costa Rica scene vid, Canasta. I was so stoked on the video, Saco's brilliant filmmaking and the crusty looking spots in the sun, and knew I wanted to make a visit in the future. A year or so later, after becoming good friends with Sebastian Lemus from Mexico, during his six month stint living in London, I decided to get away from the shitty British winter for once and planned this Central America mission, linking up first with Seb in his home city of Queretaro, then staying in Heredia, Costa Rica and catching up with Migg, Saco and meeting the rest of the crew. This video tells the story of that month spent in Heredia and the surrounding areas, skating pretty much all day everyday and eating a lot of platano maduro! Big love to everyone I met throughout my time there, I can't wait to come back someday!
