Biodiesel reactor installed at WRSC!

By
Hey, today Witch's Rock Surf Camp has just gone further down the green path as we received our biodiesel reactor.
This project is all about producing a greener fuel for our vehicles (shuttles, 4x4, boats, ...) but also offering an alternate solution to dumping.
Have you ever wonder where the waste cooking oil of restaurants goes?
Some restaurants in Tamarindo got into our program and started saving waste oil for us.

Dan Casey, president of Dieselloverde, showed up yesterday night to deliver the 130 gallons reactor. He is staying 2 days to teach us the process to make biodiesel from waste cooking oil.


Our 4 trainees, Pira, David, Luis and Francesco made their first mini-batch of biodiesel today, results are great so far and by tomorrow we should have refined almost 200 liters and be able to run our first eco-shuttle around Tamarindo!



keep you posted!

  Have you ever wondered what a week in the Intermediate Surf Program is like? Well, who better to tell you than our return guests!

what to pack for a surf trip to a developing country

By
Here at Witch’s Rock Surf Camp, we are prepping for our fourth trip to Peru and we have been getting a lot of questions about what is needed for a surf trip to a developing country like Peru. I thought that I might share my short list of what prep work you need and what to bring should you ever go surfing off the beaten path. Here is my recommended list: Check with the CDC to see what vaccines are recommend for the country you are traveling to. If you are going to more than one country, make sure you have all vaccines that you need to enter all the countries. For example, if I want to come back to Costa Rica after visiting Peru , I have to have my Yellow Fever shot, along with the proper documentation. Make sure all of your regular vaccines (tetanus and the like) are up to date. First aid kit including (but not limited to): Band aids - No brainer Hydrogen peroxide – good for cleaning cuts and your ears! Bring it ...
