How much for a shortboard in Costa Rica?
Posted: Tue Dec 12, 2006 3:06 pmJust found out that Delta wants 100$ both ways for a surfboard to CR. How much can I get a used board in Tamarindo for?
Not sure exactly, although Tamarindo does have quite a few surf shops that carry alot of stuff. They even have a Robert August shop that sells his epoxy boards. When I looked at buying a board in Samara it was $380USD, used 7'6" fibreglass, not horrible shape but some serious pressure dings on the top. Way too expensive in my opinion. Since then I just pay the cost and take my boards that I am used to with me. It actually ends up being cheaper than renting for me.
Here are some names of shops in Tamarindo, see if they have websites or phone numbers. Also check out www.tamarindo.com
-Iguana Surf
-Tamarindo Adventures
-Blue Trailz
-Robert August Shop (in the Tamarindo Vista Villas hotel - 1800-292-3786 www.tamarindovistavillas.com owner is "SurfnMoose", from Santa Cruz, Cali, supposedly will help with any questions you have)
-Matos Films Surf Shop - supposed to have lots of used boards
