Ok so Im trying to escape the east coast winter for a week or two during december, I was going to puerto rico with a few friends but they all just backed out so now im going it alone wherever i go... Puerto Rico is not off the table but from what I understand you need a rental car there and im only 20, looking around most places you have to be atleast 21 and even then there is a surcharge for being under 25... any one know any places that dont care about age or any ways around it? Option 2 is head out to SF/Santa Cruz which looks promiseing and greatest chance of consistant waves but i have yet to find a cheep place to stay and would be relying on bus to get around which doesnt sound like fun with luggage+board. Option 3 San Diego i found a cheep hostel near Ocean Beach but It seems like Sd is more sheltered from North swells except blacks, but blacks would be a hour and a half (By bus/or bike). So anyway any info on these places would be great, as well as other suggestions for places, my buget is about 1500. Thanks
If you end up going to Puerto Rico, try Charlie Car Rental. A buddy and I had luck renting a car there when we were both under 21. They did gouge us on the price, but it was well worth being able to check out everything PR has to offer.
