I know is not Super Cub stuff , but fun anyways in a 182.

Looks like a beautiful spot.

Looks awesome, Larry! Great first for any airplane, let alone a 182.

That was short!! Nice job. That looks like an awesome spot.

This is in Pavones, the best surf spot in Costa Rica.
I would love to fly there and go surfing,but in reality we are not allowed any off airport landings in Costa Rica

So I just did it for fun, and left ASAP.

Hey Larry, I'm going to AK to do some bush flying. You still going to Valdez?

Yes already got my airline ticket, May 6th to Fairbanks , then fly to Valdez on the 9th in a 206 for the airshow.
When are you going to be there?

Very nice landing. You got down low and didn't have to worry about getting rid of a lot of gravity thrust of altitude. Without obstructions, you might try some rudder turns in low ground effect. Keep the wing level with aileron and push the nose where you want it with rudder. I always worry about putting the wing into something down low. Ground effect will make up for the loss of lift in the skid. Practice in a big field or on a long runway. Works really well on takeoff or landing where the departure or approach lane is somewhat crooked. Up to 15 degrees of turn is comfortable.

Contact very good tip and makes sense, will practice this technique, thanks.

Yeah, I heard that little sputter in the engine and agree that it was probably best to set down and verify fuel flow was correct before continuing flight.

Exactly, its better to land and verify everything is running good.
