surfing in costa rica the essentials

Today, Hawaii is home to most of the Big Wave surfing and some of the most coveted breaks exist in this island paradise. It's great because anywhere there are waves, chances are people surf them in one form or another.

Make sure your wetsuit fits well, otherwise you could get rashes in all sorts of places. Check out how the school operates. Reasons, well first they are very stable so standing up will be possible within one or two attempts, they are soft so you won't slash open your flesh with the fin, or crack open your skull on the first wipeout, they are cheap and lastly they are very easy to paddle and generate speed on, which is one of the most fundamentally important part to surfing.

Aside from the possibility that a serious spill might put you off surfing for good, big water surfing without the necessary experience is irresponsible at best, suicidal at worst, never surf in conditions you aren t ready for, and only experiment under the watchful eye of a professional surfer or an experienced buddy. Often you can hire these boards near your local beach, but if not, try and borrow someones mal. Supertubes beach brings perfect waves that are considered to be unparalleled anywhere else in the world.

You will notice that it is more natural to have one of your feet forward than the other. Please, know your limits.
