We have had small surf on the Pacific Coast now for just over week, so here is a little bit of what Rica Surf got up to on their trip over to the Caribbean coast in search of perfect waves. We rocked up late and are staying in a place in the centre of Puerto Viejo called Maritza. The location is awesome and it has all the amenities you need - AC, TV, wifi, kitchen, hot water :-) - it's perfect. It's right in front of the main peak Salsa Brava, and a short stroll from a super tasty bakery called PAN PAY which has amazing croissant and coffee which we picked up on the way to check the surf this morning (a must go!). The town is filled with surfers and tourists, and theres loads of GREAT restaurants - I don't even know where to begin! The nightlife I also hear is a blast, so we are looking forward to some fun reggae parties while we're in town. There is a bunch of beach breaks in the area too which we will be exploring - Cocles, Playa Negra and Manzanillo are defiantly on the list. Looking forward to a surf filled barrel heaven 2 day adventure in the Caribbean!
Off to go check the surf at Cocles.....
PUMPING!!!
Great surf session with the gang :-)
Driving home back to the Pacific after scoring INSANE waves on the Caribbean. This is up in the mountains in Braulio Carrillo, bbrrrrrr it was cold!!! Thank you to all of the amazing people we met and shared our adventure with, and we are looking forward to going back and enjoying the magical Puerto Viejo again soon. Now we are getting ready and prepared for the huge southerly swell hitting the Pacific tomorrow - bring on the left hand point breaks! Whhoooop! Stay in touch for more news and trips from the Stoked Rica Surf Girls...
