Well, the time has come and I'm going to Bocas from March 3rd to the 31st. I'm flying into San Jose, Costa Rica and trekking over from there. Anyone been there? Tips?
there was a thread on this a few weeks ago. http://www.swellinfo.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4073 Someone just got back from there too! Said it was a blast. I was there last Jan. On iTunes they have a show called "surfari" and they do a little video of the island and surf spots. In addition, "Drive Through South Central America" is a good flick u can get on itunes, and they highlight Bocas as well Theres mad Americans down there so im sure you wont feel outta place.
dude, your stoked... I really want to go there. The Panama Caribbean side Swellinfo surf forecasts should be live by your trip.
I saw that thread...but there isn't much on Bocas.. I'm not sure if I want to fly from San Jose, CR to Panama or trek over by taxis/buses. Yeah, I'm so siked!! After hearing about Bocas, I pretty much made it my next destination choice and due to being laid off from work, here I go. That's awesome about the reports Micah. Everyone should really appreciate what you do for us!!!
take pics and update us when u get back. im going with a group of friends may 16-26th. im super pumped up
Pacific Side Congrats, have fun. I'm going to Playa Venao in March. Tickets to Panama are dirt cheap. I got my ticket through Copa Airlines for 285, taxes includes.
BAHAHHAH! Really? Signed up just to say that? Wow. Thanks, I'm sikeddd! I booked my ticket today with American Airlines and paid $324 round trip, taxes included.
hey Rgn i think we talked a while ago before you booked. i'll be there march 14th. lets exchange info and get together. i'll be shooting some photos as well. can't wait - peace
if you guys want, we can do a little photo/editorial on your trip in the Swellinfo news/article section. Up to you - I'm always looking for contributions!
Nice nice, Drew said he talked to you on ECBB about it. I'll PM you my phone number if you want to give me a call or something.
Must be a popular time to hit up panama. I leave on march 14 for 16 days. Renting a car and touring the pacific coast then cutting across to bocas for the end of the trip. I would love to add some contributions to this photo/editorial section!
