Surfing Witches Rock, Costa Rica

    This sketch inhabits a strange place in my memory, because it was drawn before my trip to surf it. So this is an image of how I perceived it would look based on the iconic presence it had in my subconscious from nearly two decades of surf media. This particular perspective is one I never actually lined up when I surfed it. Access was essentially restricted to by boat, and the scale of the beach was so large that I never swam all the way in and walked North.
