We flew Spirit from Ft. Lauderdale to San Jose. Spirit was a disaster but we will save that for another blog. We rented a truck at the airport and drove to our Hotel in Jaco.<br /><br />Elektra did not waste any time and started right in playing some golf:<br /><br /><img src="http://exceedwetsuits.com/images/blog/elektragolf.jpg" alt="Elektra playing golf" /><br /><br />Elektra wore the <a href="http://www.exceedwetsuits.com/products.php?item=44e7a7d0b8b8b">Eden rash guard</a> as the sun was very strong in Costa Rica.<br /><br />While Elektra was playing golf the boys decided to go Surfing. We rented some boards and paddled out into the 6 foot waves.<br /><br /><img src="http://exceedwetsuits.com/images/blog/surfingjaco.jpg" alt="Surfing Costa Rica" /><br /><br />The next day we drove 2 hours south down the coast to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manuel_Antonio_National_Park">Manuel Antonio Park</a>. This park is full of wildlife from Sloths to Monkeys. Elektra loved seeing all of the animals.<br /><br /><img src="http://exceedwetsuits.com/images/blog/strollermanuel.jpg" alt="Stroller in Manuel Antonio Park" /><br /> http://exceedwetsuits.com/blog.php?entry=4a01c7f3ec39c 20090506 EXCEED team rider Diego Biancone from Italy found himself landlocked between surf contests. He decided to improvise with what he had and this is the result:<br /><br /><img src="http://exceedwetsuits.com/images/blog/piscina1.jpg" alt="Diego Biancone piscina 1" /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://exceedwetsuits.com/images/blog/piscina2.jpg" alt="Diego Biancone piscina 2" /><br /><br /> http://exceedwetsuits.com/blog.php?entry=49d4e59a67cdd 20090402 Seems like the other wetsuit manufacturers are dipping their toes into a market that EXCEED originated: The fashion wetsuit. Why does a wetsuit have to be ugly to be comfortable? We asked this question over 5 years ago and we answered with EXCEED. As you can see from the pictures below the other companies just do not get it. They have tried to copy our success but have certainly not succeeded. Below you will see two examples from Henderson and Aqua Lung:<br /><br /><img src="http://exceedwetsuits.com/images/blog/aqua-lung.jpg" alt="Wetsuit by Aqua Lung" /><br /><br />You can tell this girl is so happy with her fashion wetsuit:<br /><br /><img src="http://exceedwetsuits.com/images/blog/hendersonw.jpg" alt="Wetsuit by Henderson" /><br /> http://exceedwetsuits.com/blog.php?entry=4981fdf7ef8bb 20090128 This past weekend I went with my 12 year old son, Giorgio, to do his <a href="http://www.naui.org/">NAUI</a> certification dive in the Ocean. We did two shallow reef dives on the Pompano Balls. Both dives were in less than 25' of water. Visibility was good and there was little current.<br /><br />I took this opportunity to try out my new underwater rig. I recently got a Canon G9 with <a href="http://ikelite.com/web_pages/5can_g7.html">Ikelite</a> housing and strobe. This was the first dive with this setup so as you can see I need much more practice. The first photo-friendly creature we saw was this beautiful turtle: <br /><br /><img src="http://exceedwetsuits.com/images/blog/scubaturtle.jpg" alt="Sea Turtle pompano florida" /><br /><br />I saw this <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nurse_shark">Nurse Shark</a> resting under a rock. As we approached he decided he did not want to have anything to do with us so he took off into the blue:<br /><br /><img src="http://exceedwetsuits.com/images/blog/scubashark.jpg" alt="nurse shark pompano florida" /><br /><br /> http://exceedwetsuits.com/blog.php?entry=493acb325da88 20081206 This is the first clip of an EXCEED sighting in the movie "Christmas in Wonderland" starring Carmen Electra, Patrick Swayze and Preston Lacy. This film was shot at the West Edmonton Mall. This is a massive mall in Canada that has an entire waterpark inside. In this scene we see an "unknown" surfer riding a wave wearing EXCEED Electric shorty.<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/BWAIjDWW_tk&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/BWAIjDWW_tk&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> http://exceedwetsuits.com/blog.php?entry=492d9c98be888 20081126 Bella (Elizabeth Reaser) meets her ex boyfriend Shane (Brian Van Holt) at the beach.
