Firewire Surf Fans from around the world - Surfari to Costa Rica

[Chito]

There was a thread made in the previous forum regarding the idea and discussion of a Surf trip to Santa Teresa Costa Rica by international member of the firewire community.
Just want to keep the ball rolling here and ensure that this happens since it will without a doubt be a good time. Get some epic waves, eat some amazing food and share some story, along with sitting around and taking a look at what everyone is riding as well as trying eachothers boards with maybe even the appearance of some of the new models by Chris.
There is a group of people who are already interested in coming, some want to stay in Hotels, some want to camp; whatever way you want to go about spending your time out of the water can be arranged just chime in and let me know of your intrest and we can start planning this thing and making it for real!
Hit me up on this thread if you want to take part in what is for sure going to be an epic time full of Firewire's, story, surf, food and sleep!

Good call Chito. Way to keep the ball rolling!

Hey guys. Here is a little video of some fun sized waves down here over the last week. Nothing to special but just to give you guys an idea of what to expect from the area when the swell gets minimal. Never really gets smaller than this.

The last 3 days have been spitting barrels. Everyone in town has just been getting so shacked, no footage though sorry. Hard to stay on the beach and film when there are barrels going unridden haha.
Enjoy the vid!
we will be putting one up around every week or so.

Looks so fun, especially the first half. I think I'd stay in all day until I had sun stroke surfing that in shorts. The cheeky girls didn't help either!

[Chito]

Yea Prj, it was decent. No one out all day it just got better when the tide got lower.
Are you still thinking of coming down in April? Need to keep the momentum to have this thing happen, with the whole forum switch I feel like the idea got lost somewhere in Cyber Space.
If you intend on coming and plan on camping let me know, I can hook you up.
Same goes for you Chris if you want to keep it low key and just surf your brains out.

Just to throw give you guys some tasters here are a few pics, I put them in the thread above but since they are area related i figure ill put them here too.

Also if anyone hasnt given a gander at the video posted above it would be advised, another one is in development as we speak.

I'm definitely keen, it's just a matter of finding a reasonably priced flight!

Found a flight for £620 for April 5th until April 26th. Not too bad. Chito, do you know how much we'd be looking at for transfers to Mal Pais? I know it's quite a trek. Last time we trekked over from San Jose over a week working our way down the coast on local buses and the odd taxi and then rented a car for the last bit. But on the way back we got a bus service right back to San Jose straight from Santa Teresa. That'd be good.
Also how much would we be looking at per night camping? Trying to put together a rough figure so I can convince a mate or two to come alone. Would we need to bring a tent? Would we be able to leave our bags etc in your place so it's safe?
How's the prices of food locally? I can't remember. How much do you reckon we'd be looking at per day to eat pretty simply, surf as much as possible and camp? Not looking to do anything too adventurous!
Thanks mate, hoping we can make this happen!
