two girls in Ecuaror
Ola!
We are 2 girls heading to Ecuador mid December and staying until mid January mainly for surfing, but we would like to do some hiking probably as well. We ve surfed before, but we are still beginners and looking for small waves (anything above overhead is too big). We fly into Quito and from there we travel to the coast. We can' t bring surfboards with us, because it s too expensive. I have a lot of questions and any advice/commet is much appreciated.

-do anyone has experiences with renting a car? prices, quality, driving in Ecuador,...?

- is it necessary to book accomodation? looking for something cheap, but clean. we ll be changing accomadation a lot

- is there a surfshop in Quito? Or is it possible to buy a used board any other places than Montanita? I have minimal, would be great, if i can get something similar, but i know it can be hard

- where to find information about public transportation? How to get f. ex. from Quito to Montanita? How to get from hotels/hostels to the spots?

- is somewhere a good surfmap?

Thank you!!!:))))

surf in Ecuador
hi, it's better if you hire someone to take you because the roads are not in a good state and it can be pretty confusing to travel by your own. I can give you a car and a gide for about $150 a day, any question or more information just send mi an e-mail or go to my webpage, there are some good tips to travel here in the page also

Surfing Ecuador
Hi!
Im going to Ecuador in october and I only have a week so I want to surf as much as possible. Is a tour worth the money? The tours with sweet surf that everyone is talking about, how much are they for a week? What is included? Is it better to rent a car on you own? We are four people all adanced surfers.
