Lost my Enso Ring in Costa Rica, Waterfall Repelling on a Volcano

Last year life got repetitive and I decided to go to Costa Rica and hang out in Tamarindo with my bestie. I was going back to my digital nomad roots and I thought it might be cool to scuba dive there. Fun fact: Scuba diving in that region of Costa Rica was not great. In my dive log I literally wrote:

I don't think you're supposed to scuba dive in Costa Rica.

After a couple of weeks we were feeling like this vacation wasn't dangerous enough. I couldn't get anyone to take me diving in murky water with bull sharks. We were just grocery shopping, working and going to bed at 9pm.

We Decide to Visit a Volcano

So we decided to do a whole driving adventure and road trip to La Fortuna. We wanted to see if there was some dangerous shit we could do there. Plus, you're supposed to check out volcanos in Costa Rica, right?

Fortunately, we were able to find some questionable weekend danger activities, including Arenal Volcano Canyoning and Waterfall Rappelling, which I highly recommend, even for fat people such as myself.

Not fortunately, I broke and subsequently lost one of my Enso Rings repelling down a waterfall. These rings are specifically designed for deranged people (like me!) who are engaging in highly questionable activities. They have a warranty, but it doesn't cover lost rings.

I Email Enso Rings Anyway

I decided to email Enso about the broken/lost ring because I can never resist sending an unhinged masterpiece. Plus, I wanted to talk about what a fat badass I am for doing that cool adventure. I had to tell someone besides Trip Advisor.

I emailed this to the Enso Ring customer support team:

Since discovering Enso I have worn 8 rings at all times. I'm making it my thing. I've worn them while scuba diving with sharks, ATVing, zip-lining, sky diving and other sporty things that I am too fat to do. All of my activities are extremely age inappropriate.

In my defense, I spent my real adventure years raising a baby. Enso rings didn't exist then, but I probably wouldn't have been able to afford them anyway.

 I also frequently lose things. I am currently in Costa Rica and my super awesome hammerhead shark bracelet did not even last one day. My travel buddy likes wearing tons of bracelets so she thinks I do not value our friendship because I keep losing her friendship bracelets like a jerk.

So I got her an Enso ring and dared her to lose it. At least then we'll be even. She hasn't lost it yet but she will and when she does I will absolutely instagram shame her if I am sober at the time.

Anyway, the point is you're going to have to come up with an excellent wedding ring for when I get married because I'm just hanging out with poisonous frogs and hunting for sloths and trying not to get sprayed by skunks. And that's just on this ONE trip. I'll send my fiancé a link as soon as I meet him for sure!

I wanted to tell you that this weekend I went waterfall rappelling on a volcano in La Fortuna, Costa Rica. Only because I needed to look like a badass and it also seemed super fun. Spoiler: IT WAS SUPER FUN!!! The bruises were worth it. I am attaching a photo.

Unfortunately, while rappelling I broke and lost my Poseidon Tremor in the waterfall/ river/ volcano. The other seven rings did a stellar job of not breaking. I tried to find it in the water and even engaged others who continued looking for my "gold" ring. My friend rolled her eyes the whole time because she's used to me losing stuff and also knew it was silicone.

I was also scolded by the guides because they told me not to bring anything. Obviously I left my go-pro, my phone and my iwatch, but I trusted my rings would do fine. Like, I've been diving with sharks with these things I THINK I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING....

In any case I've read the warranty and understand that it does not cover the loss of my ring, only the breaking of the ring. So I am willing to purchase another one. However, I still wanted you to know that only 1/8 rings did not wish to make it through this trip and broke. You guys rock! Love my Enso rings and I am somewhat disappointed by this tragic loss. 

To my surprise and delight, Enso customer service enthusiastically responded to my awesome story about how I'm a badass and they replaced my ring. So I'm going to recommend that you go volcano waterfall repelling and buy one of these rings if you're a jewelry girl who likes danger.

Enso's response is below and I'm pretty happy with the customer service and the rings over a year later.

Hello!

Thank you for sharing a little bit of your story with us! You sound like you are living the dream, I might be a little jealous. 🥹

But seriously, thank you for taking Enso on all of your adventures, it feels like we lived it with you. I will be sure to share this photo with my team. They will LOVE it. 💗

As for the missing "gold," typically for our Lifetime warranty we ask for a photo and for you to pay the shipping but it's not every day that we have an avid, adventurous fan. To show our appreciation, I would be happy to make an exception and cover the ring and shipping cost. 🎉

Our warehouse team is working on getting your new ring shipped. You will receive a confirmation email once the replacement order has been processed and another email with your tracking number once the order has shipped.

SO grateful to have you as part of the Enso Fam. ✨ 🤍

Nobody paid me to say any of this. Which is tragic because I'm very affordable. I don't make money from Enso Rings, but I do spend money on them... so I guess this post is reverse sponsored by me.
