Due to its beautiful reef conditions, Costa Rica receives an amazing swell. The form and shape of the waves the nearby waters produce are truly like no where else. It is considered one of the pristine locations in the world to go surfing. Surfing makes you feel carefree, exhilarated and at the same time exhausted. It is a huge rush that cannot be explained unless it is truly experienced firsthand.
To this present day my trips have taken a significant change in the type of tourist I have become when I learned how to surf in my hometown of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Since then I have evolved from a mass organized tourist to and explorer with determination to try these types of water activities. Costa Rica is known to be a surfer's paradise with its excellent point breaks, beach breaks and mesmerizing wave tubes (for the non-surfer, these mean the most ideal waves). And with beaches that are usually very clean, pristine and rarely crowded, Costa Rica is a country made for a surfer's hangout.
Costa Rica is ranked among one of the greatest surfing locations in the world in many magazines and websites. It is ranked 6th on this travelblog.
