Surfing is one of the most amazing and extreme sports for me.<\/strong> You know, everybody loves the beach and everybody enjoys the sea; lying on the sand under the shining sun, with the waves touching your feet, gazing at the blue sky\u2026that\u2019s not a hard job to do. But going into the sea and challenge the waves, trying to be more crafty than them; that\u2019s something!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Costa Rica is known for having some of the best waves to surf in the world.<\/strong> And also, for having some of the most beautiful beaches<\/a> of the region. Besides, its amazing weather<\/a>, makes possible to enjoy the crystal clear waters all year round. You may have heard that Costa Rica is a surfer\u2019s paradise, but you know why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here there are 5 reasons why Costa Rica is a surfer\u2019s paradise you should visit on your next vacations:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. We have the current world champion surfer.<\/strong> Quite so! The winner of the last World Surfing Championship \u2013 Noe Mar McGonagle \u2013 was born and raised riding the waves of the Osa Peninsula of Costa Rica. That means that all his years of practice, which led him to be one of the best surfers in the world, were done on the beaches of this country. In fact, in the South Pacific of Costa Rica where his hometown is located, are some of the best surfing spots in Costa Rica. But that\u2019s not all, his little sister Leilani – with only 15 years old – won the silver medal and was crowned runner. That cannot be a coincidence. It must be something in the water.<\/li>
  2. We are home of one of the longest lefts in the world.<\/strong> The secluded beach of Pavones<\/a> – which incidentally it is the hometown of Noe McGonagle – is home to one of the longest left hand points in the world. This isolated town is located more than 7 hours from Juan Santamar\u00eda International Airport, but if you are looking for the ultimate surf destination in Costa Rica, worth the trip. Here, you can find an epic left hand break that surfers can ride for almost 3 minutes!! In fact, some years ago, Robby Naish \u2013 the renowned windsurf athlete \u2013 along with his sponsor Red Bull, rode the wave at Pavones for more than 2 minutes. You don\u2019t believe it, right? Well, here is the video<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
