Additional Surfing Infos
 The place, on a nice swell and with the right conditions, will give excellent surfing. The currents are killers so you will need to paddle for a while, even when sitting on the lineup. When it gets to big 10+ it tends to close out. Be careful with the powerful sets because they will for sure kick in with 5 or 6 big waves. If the surf is not that good you can cross the rivermouth and go to Mini Valor which has some nice hollow waves, sometimes perfect tubes.

Mini-Valor
Went to this place 4 times the last week of January. There wasn't a great swell that week but Mini valor gets pretty fun on the lower parts of the tide. Surfed Tivives once, but it wasn't very good, waist to chest high closeouts. It takes a little work to get here so the spoiled surfer might want to stay around Jaco.
