Richard Große was a lovely guest at the hostel I volunteered at in Cabarete. Him and I hung out almost everyday and went surfing together most mornings. He stayed at the hostel for almost a month so I got to know him pretty well. He was gracious enough to allow me to interview him on the beach when he wasn't feeling well enough to surf. He is well-traveled and a very independent and grounded individual. If you're a surf nerd like us, you're going to want to tune in.
