B.C .
This place was so soulful in the early eighties, I left here feeling so blessed with kindness, the locals were so warm hearted and welcoming. apon returning in 2003 and again 2005 I have been heart broken to what I have seen this once purda vida heaven has turned into, a meer crack starved demise, thanks to all the self rightous, egotistical, selfish centered fucking "Idiots" that have not only turned the Tico's on to this shit, but have pretty much told them its like gold to the fuckin haole's so now there not only crack heads but there also "Dealers" Thanks a whole lot you fucking "American Gringo"s Not all Americans are bad people, there are plenty of wonderful souls in America, unfortunately more than half are "REP" and support our scum bag "P" Resident and his "P" on's that cater to his ways, I truly hope the land will filter out all these hedon's, and left it back the way it used to be."Peace to all the Tico's" Your land is sacred and beautiful, try preserve it.
"One Love" Mikey soule

Surf in Jaco
There is surf in Jaco....sometimes good and sometimes not so great....just depends on the swell direction. This time of year is when it is best....the sand bars are starting to set up and the southern swells are starting to push in. The good part about this area is that we have great surf in both directions...north and south of Jaco....beach breaks, reef, and points.Feel free to email me with any questions about the area.Pura VidaTodd

Surfing in Jaco
I surf all over the world. I can say that Costa Rica is by far the most beautiful and fun place to surf. I would be my family here year round! All the humm on bad stuff here??? Hey let me tell you, the USA has been the worst expierence I have ever been exposed to. Robbed and beat up at noon at the beach in San Diego.
