Costa Rica Surfing Tips

COSTA RICA SURF LESSONS

Basic Surfing Tip #1: SurfboardsLet's start with the obvious: Surfboards are made to float on the water. They have a natural center of gravity. If you were to lay any surfboard in a swimming pool, it would come to rest the same way every time. This is what we want to do when you lay on a surf board. That is to have the board remain in the same relation to the water as it was without your weight on it, just a bit lower in the water. A good tip is to find this balance point and lay on your board then make, a mark right at your chin. This is a spot is best made with a bit of wax or a magic marker. It is a reference point that enables you to put your chin on the same spot every time so the board will react to your weight the same way every time.
If the board's nose digs into the water it is called pearling and you must move the location of "your chin" back. To adjust, just slide back an inch from the mark and make a mental note.
Too much weight in the back and the board will cork the board. This is a common mistake amongst beginners. You cannot catch a wave if you are corking your board. Move up an inch at a time till the board lies in the water naturally. This will provide you with the maximum hull speed and minimum drag from the water displacement that you are causing with your weight.



Basic Surfing Tip #2: Paddling your SurfboardDo not paddle with both arms simultaneously because this will cause the board to speed up and slow down in the water and you will not be able to maintain constant hull speed through the water.
Always paddle with the crawl stroke; one arm and then the other alternatively. This will provide you with a constant speed so you can catch that wave.



Basic Surfing Tip #3: Sitting on your SurfboardOk, so now we know how to lie on the board and paddle the board. Now it's time to learn how to sit on the board. The first time try this you may be quite wobbly. The key to doing this well is being calm, or trying to be still. The less movement that you make the easier you will find it is to do this. All the other skills of surfing will improve as you learn to be "calm" while surfing.



Basic Surfing Tip #4: Standing on your SurfboardNow it's time to learn how to stand up. This is something you have been doing all your life. Lie on your chest, your head up, looking ahead. Put your hands on the board beside your shoulders palms down like you were going to do a push up. Push your upper body up while at the same time you sweep your feet under you, laying them on the stringer, the line down the middle of the board, so your weight is centered along the stringer.
When you come up, remember to keep low. If you stand erect you will fall. Assume a position of a sumo wrestler. Press your feet shoulder width apart and "grip the board in your feet", opposite of the way you would press your thighs together on a horse. Have your hands a bit higher than your waist and just in view of your vision. Always look up! If you look at your feet, you will fall down. I promise!
Practice this for hours. Have someone watch you and have them critique your performance. Practice jumping up without making a sound on the floor. Calm and controlled is the smoothest way to approach this so practice doing it quietly. If you have a surfboard, lay it on a large bed or in the sand and do this exercise. This is a way for you to judge your ability to be controlled.

Costa Rica Surf its privileged location, in addition to being a haven of natural beauty, brings together a number of physical characteristics and nature conducive to surf all year round. It is, however one of the more expensive countries in the central and south Americas, with the positive aspect that hotels are good quality and car rental relatively easy and safe.
These are some of the many reasons of good surfing in Costa Rica:
Mares with warm water
Swell consistent throughout the year
Easy access to places with good surf
Approximately 70 miles from coast
Surf camps in many parts of the country
No experience is required as you will find beaches to learn if any
Good Security
No Experience Required
The surfing can be divided into four main areas: The Pacific North (Guanacaste), the South Pacific (Puntarenas), Central Pacific and the Caribbean.
North Pacific Coast
Potrero Grande, Playa Naranjo (Witch's rock), Playa Grande, Playa Tamarindo, Langosta, Avellanas, Playa Negra, Nosara Beach, Playa Coyote, Manzanillo, and Mal Pais
South Pacific Coast

The Caribbean
Manzanillo, Puerto Viejo, Black Beach, Westfalia, Playa Bonita, Portete, Isla Uvita, The North Caribbean Coast
Swell Season in Costa Rica is approximately April to October, but that log cabin here, make Pacific winds from October to April maintenance of good conditions to enjoy a good chat session surf early in the morning or afternoon.
In the Pacific coast the surf is calmer in the Caribbean but the surf is big and strong so be prepared with good leashes and tables in good condition if it directs the Caribbean.
Because Costa Rica is a very small country, you may move from one coast to another in a matter of hours the same day, so if you are not satisfied with the waves on a beach, may mobilize another beach that meets the conditions looking for. One important thing to mention is that there are beaches for all levels of surfer, so it does not matter if you have no experience; we know very well that due to the great variety of beaches for surfing, you will be able to find the right place to enjoy a few surf lessons.
Another important aspect is the security in the country, there is a low cup of theft. I simply recommend that if you are a car does not leave all your stuff (camera, wallet, passport, money, things of high value) visible, leave at the hotel or keep them in your luggage. Most thefts are given to tourists who leave their valuables clearly visible, or worse, leave the car without insurance.
