Custom-Made Surf-Boards are better, in our board shapers, Minor Villas opinion. Of course, he's bias.
In Minors own words: "If you go to a store and buy a board off the rack, you don't know what the heck you are going to get. The best thing is when you go to a shaper and you tell him where you surf, how much experience you have and how much you weigh."

Included Below are some of the LOCAL BEACH DESCRIPTIONS on the Caribbean Side of Costa Rica! .
Isla Uvita: An Island off of the coast of LIMON. Here you will find a good left. Isla Uvita is about a 20 minute boat ride from Limon with passage available only certain times of the year.
Cahuita, Black Beach:5 minutes from GATA! An excellent beach break, not well knownand therefore not heavily visited. Nevertheless, there are always waves all year round.
Puerto Viejo:15 minutes from GATA! A very thick and voluminous wave that comes from deep water onto a shallow reef, also called SALSA BRAVA, for its juice power. This place gets very big and tubular (legitimate big wave). Salsa is approximately a 3-1/2 hour drive from San Jose.
Manzanillo:A very fast beach break located 20 km from Puerto Viejo, Limon. Located close to an unpaved road, easy to get to.
