I'm in costa rica and I could use some help...

**skiingalot1234** · 05-03-2009, 02:35 PM

What's up? So, i'm in playa flamingo for 3 weeks. I want to surf. I've been surfing on a long board and a short board a few times. So, i'm still a beginner but want to use a 6'5" - 7" on some waist to head high waves.
Can some of you guys give me some ideas of places to rent a board and places to go?
Anything will help!
Thanks

A friend of mine owns a surf camp down there. puravidasurflessons.com, shoot him an e-mail he's back and forth to the states a lot but could have some help for you.

What are we looking like to you? Vacation planners? For you very simple plan. Five steps.

1. You are at beach, good.
2. Ask there where you go get surfboard. Say "tabla" and "gracias"
3. Go get board, come back.
4. Find spot with waves. Try to surf them.
5. Keep trying.
6. Try some more.
7. Go home.

i don't think this has been said yet but i got to believe everyone is thinking it.

your at a beach in costa rica that has waves and you go to the internet to find out where you should surf and rent a board.

why don't you go talk to some tourists and locals and say where should i go. this post is unbelievable. i hope its a joke

**skiingalot1234** · 05-07-2009, 07:19 PM

Look, i was looking for some insight down here. No kidding there are beaches but the surf is different down here from what i found out today. Surfed grande today and jesus christ, the swells are just starting. I have to give some big props to the surfers that were hitting the main break. Fucking aye! But thanks everyone for your help. The swell is going to be here until sunday.... Have fun where ever you are, just remember, you're not here.....
