Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Catalpa sails the northwest coast of Costa Rica inside Santa Rosa National Park, visiting two legendary surf breaks — Witch's Rock and Oli's Point — while anchored in rolly, unprotected conditions unsuitable for overnight stays.1:28 Witch's Rock, eight nautical miles from Playa del Coco, offers a sand-bottom shore break that was working at roughly half tide with head-high sets; the main break further down was not firing.3:31 Oli's Point, a right-hander made famous by The Endless Summer 2, lost its shape after a 2017 storm shifted the sand and was also not working during the visit.4:31 Lee, Sarah, and Ali take the tender up a river estuary in the national park and spot a crocodile roughly ten meters ahead — the same stretch of water where the crew had swum the previous afternoon.8:57 Large cat prints on the beach, confirmed by locals as puma or jaguar, add to the wildlife tally.5:51 The anchorage near Oli's Point is rolly but provides access to mangrove waterways with clear water, abundant fish, herons, and egrets.10:21 The video ends on a deliberate cliffhanger as Lee takes Sarah by dinghy to an undisclosed surprise find nearby.15:10
