Buying vs. Bringing a Surfboard - Hi. My name is Kate and I'm planning a big trip down to central america this winter/spring. i'm doing a combination of volunteering and surfing. i'm wondering the pros of buying a board down there so i don't have to worry about it in the plane (especially during my not so long connection in miami on the way back). also, i figure i'm going to spend a few hundred paying the oversize baggage costs anyways. am i better off using that few hundred to buy a board i don't care about as much, should it get dinged? plus i can sell it back at the end and try to make some money back? - thanks, kate

Playa Jaco - Playa Jaco is a fun place to surf.November is part of the rainy season .The surf is fickle but if you catvh it at the right time(around high tide) you can ride some outstanding overhead surf.If the surf is not to your liking there Playa Hermosa is right next door.The weekend nightlife is packed with hotties from inland.For surf repairs find my good bro KIMO,some repair shops send your boards to him anyway so skip the middleman.He did not ask nor does he even know I wrote this.Tell him LIAM says PURA VIDA

surfing in CR in March? - I am going surfing in Costa Rica in March, bought our tickets and are looking for a place. There are two of us, both average longboarders, and we are travelling "avec la famille".... a total of 3 kids under 12, and two wives who like the beach and the waves but don't surf.

Never been to CR....we want, of course, to surf our brains out, but we need access to a beach that won't drown our kids. Need help guys! Which breaks would you take your just-starting-to-surf 12 year olds yet still get loads of good rides yourselves? And any thoughts on accomodation?


Thanks for any comments

surf and weather in july - john,

i went to jaco beach and playa hermosa july 2004. the waves were pretty big head high almost closing out beach break style. The waves stayed pretty consistent the week i was there. I went down to manuel antonio and got some smaller waits to shoulder high waves that were alot more mellow and fun. I went this year in early july to playa langosta, a swell was building towards the end of my trip. playa langosta and tamarindo were pretty tame, waist to chest and fun. I went one day to witches rock and scored some really good waves, head high with some bigger sets. It was really good. the weather is usually sunny, hot, and humid in the day with possible late afternoon evening thunder storms. There were alot more evening showers when i went two years, ago not sure if that was due to location or different conditions. I would recomend playa longosta/tamarindo and going on a boat trip to withes rock if it looks like the swell is going to be over 4-6 feet.

Anyone looking for a surf buddy? - Hi, i'm flying into San Jose around about the 30th September to begin a world wide surf trip and was wondering if there is anyone out there who would be keen to hook up with me to share the costs of hiring a vehicle etc for a month or so to check out the Costa Rican surfspots?

Surf Trip November - Hello! i´m going to spend 3 weeks in CR next November. How are the waves in that period? What´s the best part of the country? North Pacific? Would i expect some waves in Caribean Sea?

trip in november & december - HI,
I'd like to go to surf in costa rica 3 weeks in november or december. It seems not to be the best period for the waves. Can someone tell me if it is really flat? 1m50-2m glassy is enough for me. What is your opinion?
