Tennis & Surf Anyone?

The last two nights of our Costa Rican vaction was spent at 15 Love Bed and Breakfast, a tennis hotel that also offers surf lessons. Rowan and I had to check this place out. Oliver & Emily are the wonderful owners of this beautiful bed and breakfast.  I couldn’t believe that a place like this existed.  Its my two favorite passions in life all rolled into one.

We shared stories of how K-Claw started and Oliver and Emily shared their experiences about building the hotel and making tennis the center of its activities. The courts were in great condition and the whole hotel was decorated with so much much pizzaz and modern amenities.  The breakfast they served up was fresh and delicious.  The next time my ladies doubles team needs to practice, I think we’ll consider making this place our home court :D

Rowan and I played tennis the first night, and after 4-5 hours of surfing for the last seven days, we weren’t very agile. Regardless, we had a fun time complaining about how sore we were while we chased tennis balls around.

We met two cool couples the same age as us, Jamie & Kate from London and Karina & Tiness (i know i spelled his name wrong..sorry) from Zurich. Karina is cardiologist, Tiness a dentist, Jamie a realtor and Kate works for The British Independent Films.

The last night we played doubles with both Emily & Oliver.  Emily’s got a really wicked forehand, but it makes sense since her husband is the tennis pro! It was really fun to hang out with those guys.  Rowan and I always admire people who are passionate about what they do, it inspires us to do the best we can with K-Claw!
