Hi all,
Traveling to CR and will be in the Tamarindo area from the 12/4-14th.
Whats the best board for this time of year; EF, HR or BP?
I only feel like bringing 1 board.

5.10 Futura - What else do I need?
5.5 Baked Potato - Well ok, I need this.
5.11 El Fuego - Oh ok, just one more.

I'd go El Fuego, It's a pretty sloppy beach break, the baked would even be fun out there.
Nice man, will do.
Thanks a lot.
By the way, whats are some note worthy breaks in say 1 hour driving distance?
Perhaps I will book a boat ride to Olies or Witches.

hey aurf, going to depend on the swell. If there is a strong N swell, Tamarindo can actually be fun.
I would encourage you to check out Playa Grande, Avellanas, Marbella and Negra. All are a blast. Marbella and Negra seem to pull the most out of the smaller Dec south swells. Grande as well.
Also go El Fuego unless the surf report looks really good or really bad right before you leave. When traveling with 1 board, always leave it until the last minute.

Hey All, use my Firewire email, [email protected] for emergency issues, not my forum inbox. However, please avoid contacting me directly with questions on choosing a board, just use the glorious forum. Cheers!
Agree with Negra. When I went Tamarindo was basically 1ft slop, we went to Negra and it was headhigh and real fun.
Nice posts dudes. Thanks a lot.
Yes, will bring the EF, although been lovin the BP.

I will also be in Tamarindo at the same time. I will be taking two boards, a larger board for the smaller days, and a 6' for the river mouth.
I'll most likely be doing the same.
The river mouth, hmmm. Just saw an I'm Alive episode, a croc gnaws on this guys leg in Costa Rica near a river mouth.

Ah we had to cross a river in CR to get to a beach. I wasn't happy about it. I let my mate go first seeing as I'm such a gent...
