Costa Rica is getting ready for the biggest surfing championship in history held in Central American coasts. One of the most important and traditional global surfing events, the Billabong ISA World Surfing Games will take place from August 1-8 in the perfect waves of Playa Hermosa, located next to Jaco Beach on Costa Rica's Central Pacific. This will be the first time that a Central American country will receive the best surfers from around the world.

Alex is on it. Thanks for contributing this report Freddy. I look forward to my next trip to Loma del Mar Surf Club to surf Hermosa and Esterillos and get my picture on rovercam.com too. I heard that there was a $240 r/t air ticket from Continental from Newark.
