Argentina Surf
I am 21 and currently living in BA until July '08. I am from East Coast US and was hoping to get a little surfing in while Im here. I brought 2 short boards and a solid 3mil.
I am studying abroad here so I cant get away for long periods of time, but will be good thursday-sunday every weekend. I am just looking for some travel advice from BA down to Mar Del Plata, or anywhere someone might suggest there will be surf. My Spanish is not great, but I can get by. Anyone know any good hostels, buses that are from BA-Mar Del Plata, beaches to surf... If anyone is in BA and wants to head down together Id love the company.

It may not be the best place to ask, but I hear surf in Uruguay can get good too. Plus theres a cheap ferry from BA - Montevideo. Anyone?

p.s. Holy week starts March 20 and I was hoping to plan a trip March 19 - March 23...

My e-mail is foxmc@jmu.edu

I LOVE MAR DEL PLATA!!!
I've benn there for a time, and it's great. Everyting there is great, the people, the girls, the food and they have many different types of waves. I stayed in a excellent hotel for surfers. It is called PLAYA VARESE INN and it is one block from Playa Varese beach. The people 10 points!!!

Best place to Live & Surf in Mar de Plata
There´s a great hostel right in front of Playa Grande where I stayed. Ok, surf in Argentina is not Chile, but this tends to be the most consistent beach in Mar del Plata, and you can just walk down to it. They´ve got boards to rent and all that, and its clean and a really good time. If you want to, you can set up long term stays as well. And the best street for going out is like a block away! AHHHH. A great time. Its called Hostel Playa Grande.
