Hotel Tramonto presents the news of the day.

Surfer takes advantage of time to do family activities after being away from Costa Rica for several months.

After returning to the country due in part to the current state of emergency caused by COVID-19, Emily has taken the opportunity to enjoy an activity she hadn't been able to do for several months: spending time with her family in her beloved Jacó Beach.

The surfer was in California, United States, and according to what she told us, before returning to the country, surfing was still allowed on American soil; however, restaurants only allowed takeout food.

Gussoni has used the quarantine to set goals and train his physical fitness due to being unable to surf.

Emily has focused her time on enjoying her family and not worrying about external things, and by thinking positively she tries to take everything with optimism.

The surfer shared an interview with us, and here are all the details.

How long have you been in the country and how long have you been in quarantine and unable to surf?

I arrived in the country on Saturday, March 21st in the morning, from the airport straight to the house, I have been 10 days without surfing and 8 days of quarantine.


What activities have you been able to resume at home with your family?

I'm spending time with my family, whom I hadn't seen for three months, and I'm taking an online nutrition course. I also have some exercise machines and weights at home for working out, and I've started doing yoga; I look for videos on YouTube.


How do you manage to keep up with your training in this difficult situation?

I set myself a goal: to train every day with one rest day, since I can't surf, at least I want to strengthen my physical fitness! And when I'm training, the day feels like it goes by faster!

What message do you have for people to help them think positively about the COVID-19 situation?

Try new things, finish the things you didn't finish because you didn't have "time", stay positive, follow the rules so that all this will be over soon.
