Stupid. Some guys apparently like surfing the internet more than a world class left. That wave is amazing. Obnoxiously crowded at times, but incredible. Yes, count on 7+ hours, but all worth it if you get one from the rivermouth to the restaurant.
Yeah bro!, I almost forgot: the agony of da feet! You better toughen your feet up before you go down there so you can make the long walk back over some stones and such. Get some callouses on the soul.
worth it, potentially yes if you like 1/4 mile lefts. It will take a day to get there from SJO, make sure you have a 4x4, especially in the summer rain season.
The roads have all been improved over the last couple of years and it's an easy drive. Takes about 8 hours from SJO with stops for fuel/food.
