Costa Rica DANGEROUS?

[esonscar]

You need to watch out for (1)-THIEVES (2)-SCORPIONS (3)-SPEED TRAPS, And DO NOT rent a car from Avanti/U-Save! They are horrible and will rip you off. Just remember that the THIEVERY here is worse than you can possibly imagine. Extremely bad. Don't let anyone try to tell you otherwise. The country is beautiful, surf is great, chicks are mega hot, and the Thieves are blatant, and out of control Don't expect help from the Police as they are a complete joke.

True advice - Thx for giving us 'hard workers to be surfers' the lowdown: Very much appreciated indeed,

It's fine, Just don't put yourself in stupid situations

I have heard about that place a lot and want to say that people out there helpful cause they know the consequences . We took the truck rental company to move in the forests and must say that it was really a horrible but excited journey of my life..

Hey - all we all need is an honest contact to keep us safe and true: We'd all appreciate that. Anyone knowledgeable of the country fancy fronting up to help and protect us; else bear the consequences ?

will I be able to find some nice 1-2 and 2-3 ft breaks (bearing in mind my sons don't surf and need to learn).

I taught my Girlfriend a few lessons at Jaco beach, the whitewash there was perfect for her to learn in, it was gentle and about waist deep, so she could just walk out and practice for hours and the water was ridiculously warm, then at low tide there are some pretty epic waves breaking too which my buddy and i were able to surf and have alot of fun.

loads of places to rent boards from there, everything from softboards for learners, to shortboards, longboards and SUPS. cost me about $12 for a half day rental but all the rental places insisted on either a drivers license or passport being put down as a deposit, so i recommend bringing the DL as an ID rather than the passport

Hope the info helps and enjoy the trip

Je hebt een punt. Kan het zelf niet zo goed, maar muziek erin steken is geen grote moeite?
Wil hem zeker niet afkraken.

OMG it's a multilingual Troll I think it's Dutch this time , but assuming the troll is male he is not bright enough to post in the language of the forum or at least Spanish for Costa Rica
