surfing and backpacking

[alsamav]

Hi
im going travelling on my own in October for at least a year depending whether i work or not. Ive been surfing for four years now and im compleatly addicted to it so i want to be in the water almost every day that I can. The trouble is I don't know where to start....i was thinking south america or indo and then on to OZ to work and that. I've bin to indo for a few weeks before but never planned anthying like this so im just a bit lost and nervous at the mo. Any help and advice would be absoultly amazing.
cheers.

How do you fit a surfboard into a backpack? Do you have a really large backpack?

i guess it depends on how much you want to spend, here in peru things are pretty cheap and the surf is very consistant, definitely you'd surf everyday, waves around here where i'm at are more for intermediate to advanced level surfers although there are few spots for beginners, if you want more info, let me know.

I'm from Brazil, and here for you that will probably spend in dollar it's cheaper than surf in europe for example. I guess come here it's a great idea, south america has brazil, chile, peru, venezuela, all this countries has really great waves, and as i said before, cheaper than surf on europe and it's a great cutural experience too.

Santa Teresa is the best place in Costa Rica. I stayed at Super Vista bungalows. They are the only bungalows right on the beach! So cute and very romantic. They organize surf instructors for you! Check out their website santateresa-beachfront.com
Happy Travels!
