Few places in the world can offer travelers volcanoes towering up to 12,530 feet and a seemingly endless 700 miles of coastline on the Pacific and Caribbean like Costa Rica can. Though Costa Rica is known for many of its great tourism specialties there is one that should never be overlooked: surfing.

There are also cool surf towns popping up in Jaco, Tamarindo and Puerto Viejo. The best waves occur in the rainy season (Northern Hemisphere 'summer') on the pacific side, and in the hot dry season ('winter') on the Caribbean – so you’ll always be able to find a good break.

Why is Costa Rica called 'The Hawaii of the Central America"? Costa Rica's appeal is easy to understand: Consistent surf year-round, Warm water, Easy access to thousands of breaks, Surf conditions from mild to mind-blowing, Surf camps and international tournaments, Affordable prices...
This week a few of us skipped a day and a half of school and took a little trip down to Puerto Viejo! It was so much fun! It was a little mini vacation away from the vacation that we are already on. It was nice to get away from school for a day. I've decided that too much spanish can make a person go crazy. We took the bus down to Puerto Viejo on Tuesday after class and came back on Thursday morning. It was a nice long 4 hour bus ride... but definitely worth it.

The beaches of the Caribbean Sea are so beautiful and the water is so clear! ...
I decided to put aside my hammock hate and settle down in the aptly named hostel, Rocking J’s. The place is in Puerto Viejo, a tiny beach town on the east coast that’s become a popular haven for backpackers, local surfers, and surfing backpackers.

With Torres out, the youngster Muñoz made it all the way to the Open final heat, won it, and grabbed the 2008-2009 Costa Rica National Costa Rica Surf Championship title. The win was culmination of a hat-trick for Muñoz, as the surfer from Esterillos also won the Championship titles for the Junior and Boys categories as well.

The situation in the Open was that Torres needed to reach at least 5th place in this date to earn the national title, but in his semifinal heat, the surfer couldn’t find the waves, and came in 4th place. With Torres situated at 7th in the Gran Finals Terraza – Reef, this opened a window for Jaco’s Jairo Pérez and Muñoz to fight for the championship with the points earned with the 6 stars of the date.
