The Playa Canoa insider - lol! - Playa Canoa is all good fun! Very chill & openminded locals, cept maybe if you forget your manners in and around the water at Canoa!

The surf can get GOOD here! Even Epic at Canao! Those days do not happen too often. We might show you the spots if the, if you seem like a solid on all fronts kind of person. Some other spots that get good are not to easy to find. Just ask. If the swell is predicted to PUMP, or go mechanical, and you speak to the locals you will know where and when.

Canoa is usually always the best BET when there is surf, but also for many other reasons should you visit! Some reasons to go there, are easy accessibility fairly good road, good wave hold, biggest swell window for surf, a beach/bay for swimming, you can get sodas & snacks, even buy fish form the local fishermen(lol)make NICE bbq, shade. So all in all, a good place just to hang out! You could even bring your family. Soem nice scenery, sunsets. A few locals there also that have lived there for a very long time.

There are a few guys here that give surf lessons. Charles is one, I am the other that have so far. We mainly do it when time allows. If you are a HoT Chick we make time! ;)
Or show us the money!!! Nowadays you can even rent boards.

There is even a person (Charles, same guy) who is quite adequate (no understatement!!!) at board repair. Mind you, that he can be a busy person, and he is the only one permanantly estabished here that repairs.

If you have any questions,....I mean any questions,... you can ask me via email. Don't be shy! ASK ASK ASK ;)

Surfboard rental on the island - gents - I am passing through Curacao for two days and unfortunately will not have my board with me. Is there any place to rent a board so I can at least get in the water?

Anyone know how to contact Charlie? - Not sure if any locals read this post, but I am looking for Charlie Ballantino who used to make Sunchild surfboards. On my way to Ecuador and just broke one of my boards, thought he might still be around so I could get a board off him. Any info would be apppreciated.
