Our first big trip together, we had no real youtube aspirations during this trip but we wanted to sort of document our trip. We are so glad we did as we had so much fun traveling that we are slowly evolving into a couple that wants to really live all of what the world has to offer. Unfortunately that means we didn't really get all the shots I now wish we had haha but thats ok because there are more adventures to come. For our first trip together we set our sites on Costa Rica What a beautiful place and with new flights added we had an easier and less expensive way to get there with Alaska Airlines. I've always wanted to get my dive certification, I have dove many times but just never took the time to actually get certified. So our first stop in Costa Rica was Playa Del Coco or Coco Beach. There was a great Dive shop there that was well priced and even let me do all my book work at home over the internet. You never know how these things are going to go. You can read all of the reviews but its always different in person. To my surprise these guys were professional but not uptight, they knew how to make the learning process very enjoyable. I had a fantastic time Diving and am very excited to now be certified. Dara had gotten her certification some time ago so its nice to be catching up. After leaving Playa Del Coco, we headed up into the mountains of Monteverde to the cloud forest. What a beautiful place but no fear we did more diving once we reached the Atlantic side so stay tuned! Thank you for watching our first video, we appreciate feedback and will continue to improve as we go and as we learn. Subscribe and adventure with us. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6TUnn5AeD0

In this video I upgrade my Pakayak by adding some much needed thigh braces. There are no real good solutions from Pakayak so I went with replacement parts from another brand. I installed the Pyranha Connect thigh braces with seat back ratchet as well as the accompanying seat back strap. This may not be for everyone but for me it was great for improving the fit of my cockpit and getting that connected feel which can lead to a boost in performance. it is slightly more work to pack the kayak up but does fit in the bag. What you will need - Thigh brace kit (with ratchet optional) https://store.pyranha.com/pyrus/index.php/us/outfitting/connect-thigh-brace-pair.html Seat back strap - ratcheted (optional) https://store.pyranha.com/pyrus/index.php/us/outfitting/back-band-strap.html Measuring tape or ruler Drill 13/64 Drill bit hex wrench set razor knife ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9BtdzPgcRY
