It’s a super candid conversation & I appreciate them for coming on camera.

    Nosara is a small, protective type of town & there are all kinds of opinions. I appreciate those who will come on camera and speak much more than the gossip minded or social media warriors who stir up controversy but are not solution oriented.

    NOSARA PODCAST – What’s NIFF? Unique Film Festival starts in Nosara 2026

    Craig and Tristan Cohen launching the first-ever NIFF today! They discuss their goal of building a film festival in Nosara that supports artists and brings world-class story telling to our community.

    Tristan shares the goal to create a space where it’s not just about the movie and then leave. He says: “It’s more about the connection that the environment sparks. How to bring people together in a community full of art, but hasn’t quite matched into its fullest potential”.

  • NOSARA PODCAST – The Longboard Andy Episode: Garza Beginnings, Surf Rules, Longboard Culture & Being weird in the water

    NOSARA PODCAST – The Longboard Andy Episode: Garza Beginnings, Surf Rules, Longboard Culture & Being weird in the water

    Welcome to a special episode of the Nosara Podcast with Longboard Andy! A surfer whose story begins in the fishing town of Garza, growing up around the ocean, learning to fish with his parents and hitching rides into Nosara just to surf.

    We start with what Andy’s up to now competing in tournaments and working in his surf company then we get into the surf rules he lives by and we should all follow in the water, his favorite spots to surf in Costa Rica and Nicaragua, and how the so-called “secret spots” aren’t really secret anymore.

    From there, Andy shares how he got into longboarding, who pulled him toward logging, and how longboard culture continues to evolve in Nosara. We talk boards, shapes, style, and the rhythm that makes long boarding cool now.

    And of course, one of the best parts of the episode: Andy’s favorite philosophy of “being weird in the water.” It’s honestly one of the most memorable quotes ever said on the show a great reminder to stay playful and fully yourself in every session and in life.

    I hope you enjoy this conversation how a local sees Nosara’s line up, hopes for more opportunities to compete, the challenges and the joys of living a surf life and the joy of longboarding with Andy.

    NOSARA PODCAST – How Nadav Attar went from Nosara Grom to Chasing the WSL Challenger Series

    It’s been super interesting watching Nadav Attar grow up in Nosara, Costa Rica. It’s even more interesting to hear his take on life as he enters adulthood with highly ambition goals and how his combination of family, friends, and downright determination is making huge advancements in his life quickly. We discuss training, mediation & practices of Joe Dispenza, his travels & traveling crew, his goals of making the upper echelon of the WSL, his friends & local surfers around Nosara, his 3 favorite restaurants & much, much more.

    Nadav Attar is 19 years old, grew up in Nosara, Costa Rica, and is chasing the WSL Challenger Series with the goal of making the Championship Tour. In this episode we talk about the real side of pro surfing — the heats you lose, the meditation routine his brother got him into, manifesting results in El Salvador, and why the level of homegrown talent in Nosara is blowing up right now.

    We also get into who Nadav thinks is the best carver, the best aerialist, and where you have to go in Costa Rica to find a real barrel.
