At twelve we had the countdown, this was when Mali really shined!
And thats when the party really began...

 
 

Each New Years Eve night after the sunset we hold a big party at the Hotel. The pool bar was rockin' with the girls from Luz de Vida. All the competitors, crew, and spectators from the surf contest came out to dance, drink and talk about the day's happenings and to make plans for the New Year.
  

 


The dance floor rocked steady with a crazy mix of music from French, Italian, Israeli, Costarican and American DJs. The sun came up on January 1st, 2005 when Luz de Vida's own Yoga Instructor, Joran took over the decks. All guests were stoked when the pool party sound system went full blast.

  

 


It was cool to see all the people who were watching the sunrise after six hours of dancing. And after that a bunch of us went surf the first session of the year. Until next year!
