Surf Trippin

What time of year?

 

El Salvador is hard to beat...direct five hour flight from DC, 90 minute ride from the airport in ES to a number of world class righthand pointbreaks that pretty much fire from April - October. The wave quality is unreal and its a cheap easy trip.

 

I am going Saturday for 1 week; I will share my opinion when I come back.

 

yes, that would be an issue in February and March. By April the southern hemis are working. we went in mid April and it was head high to well overhead every day. The points were absolutely reeling off...unreal.

 

crowd factor?

 

Thank God! Maybe you'll come back with that frown turned upside down.

 

I have answered ALL of your questions, and happily so--you just did not go back to read them.
I am renting this time; not taking a board for predominantly beach breaks. No sense in that.

 

I don't have a frown; I am a very happy guy.
Yankee on the other hand......

 

Lol...people with an inferiority complex typically aren't happy people.

 

Costa Rica is an option, although the season is similar to ES. Southwest flys direct from BWI to SJO and just added Liberia on certain days of the week. It can still fire in Feb/March timeframe.

 

That's an interesting reason to rent. After renting and then bringing my own board, I will probably never rent again. I hate not having my own equipment regardless of the type of break it is.

 

DP I have done one surf trip where I rented (cr) and regretted it. I saved a few dollars and a little headache that comes with it but was not worth it.

OP, flying in to Liberia makes for an easy trip and I would plan right before Florida schools/university's spring break. I have had luck with lesser crowds.

 

Thank you, Dr. Phil.....

 

Same here, best board I could rent was something I would never consider riding otherwise, but when it's your only option, you make the most of it. Still had fun but not like I could have.

 

I usually planned my CA trips 2 weeks after Easter. That's when their Summer vacation ends and deals begin.
