The Surfers Guide
|
| The Surfers Guide To Costa Rica is a guide book written by Mike Parise and is a valuable asset to anyone heading to Costa for their first or second or third time. It is both well written and up to date, this being the 4th edition updated and published in June 2003. In a nut shell, the book is roughly 10% about what you should bring and pack and need. About 50% of the rest of the book covers breaks, where they are, how they break and some helpfull hints like what it says about Playa Langosta near Tamarindo: "A left and right at the rivermouth, and a longer left on the reef outside. When it gets big it breaks way outside and can get scarey. Langosta can be sketchy: it's often a juicy stormy wave which breaks over lava reefs" (this is just part of the Playa Langosta section). Along with the descriptions of the breaks, the other 40% or so tells about your choices of places to stay near the breaks that it has just talked about. Descriptions of the lodgings include the cheapest and most basic, as well as places you'll feel comfortable bringing the wife and kids (like I did). Now, don't expect glossey pages or photographs or sightseeing suggestion or even road maps; you can find them at your local book store. What you can expect is a valuable tool that you can use to maximize your wave count and fun while on surf safari in Costa Rica. 97 pages (sku-#34-151) |
