Trying to plan first surfing trip

so I’m trying so make some plans or come up with doable ideas for a surfing trip for me and my daughter, and I’ve got a few ideas in mind but would rather not make the mistake of trying to do too much, first shot out of the gate...
I’ve looked at Witches Rock in Costa Rica and maybe somewhere in PR. I’ve just got to keep surfing levels and abilities in mind as well as cost. My boards are a ton of money that I DIDNT have to spend but did anyway lol. Levels are for both of us but more her as I am more of a charger and will try, and enjoy, pushing beyond my abilities and paying the price - I want her to have fun and if it’s too hard for her it won’t be.

 

Asswipe

 

Bells beach during season?

Skeleton Bay?

 

Honestly? I wanna wear trunks and a rash guard man. I wanna surf without feeling like a brAutworst lol

 

We’ve got family friends that are family with FinMcools crew over in Mullahmore Ireland that would treat us well but like I said, I wear rubber for 9-10 months of the year ...

 

I’d go to LaJolla with my shaper but that’s about it...I’m more afraid of the people lolool

 

Either late August before she goes back to school or in February - a big window I know, but she’s still in school so it’s tough.

 

I’ve checked out Panama and there are a few places that are crazy awesome and affordable. I have a hook up with JetBlue so that’s a big plus

 

How is the range of surf breaks in PR? I’d like to go somewhere that there is a range for her and also for myself. I don’t think I’ll ever be doing nasty cutbacks in my surfing career but other than the occasional reversion to stupid, I do pretty well in bigger surf, can pick and hold a line even if I get deep and with enough time in the right waves I know I could barrel. That’s my personal goal on the trip - ride a legit 12-15’ face and actually surf it. Make my lines on it instead of just making off alive lol

Houston, we have a problem... either that or I hit the post button a few times hahahaha

 

I’ve been leaning that way for the same reasoning. Done a fair bit of looking around and found
A wide variety of different places that will fill the bill nicely. Thanks for the input on these places.

 

Ya know, I haven’t got a clue about this place but now I’m gonna look it up cause I’ve laughed my ass off more than once reading posts about it..

 

This place looks insane in this video!
