gracis bro

ugh don't they always

I've surfed there lol, yeah thats like the most aggro area in SD....that being said most California localism is just a snide comment or a glare. Once I caught Tony Alva putting sunscreen on my windsheild at secos in Malibu. I just looked him in the eye, got a piece of paper out of my car and scooped it off in one fell swoop. He was so sad....lol

DM me on insta @kooks_rule and I'll tell you how to find it. Don't wanna blow it up here.

going back this season?

@ maybe around July I’ll be back 🤙🏻

@@Pat_Moriarty_Surf cya out there

yeww! thanks borther!

@ 🤝✌️

to be honest this part is the only part that is still pretty empty

@@SigmaSurf Empty like it was me and my buddy for days upon days alone. Even Pavones only had a couple guys around. It was great. Beyond great actually.

@@keithahlstrom176 shoooot yeah that sounds like the dream, Nica was like that when I first started going in the 2000s...who am I kidding sometimes its still like that now

yew!!!

dude it's super safe, insanely safe even, feels safer than Costa Rica these days (Costa Rica Crime has EXPLODED). Just don't go to the big cities/red light districts.

@@SigmaSurf It’s funny you say that , 20 years ago Jaco was bad. Was hoping it got better. Mal Pais / Santa Teresa still ok??

@@coldseamonster Jaco still bad, Costa RIca was really safe until about 2021 but since the pandemic crime and murder rates have tripled there because of various reasons. Nicaragua and El Salvador of all places are both statistically much safer in the last three years! Mal Pais and Santa Theresa are def two of the safest areas in CR because of their extreme isolation. Anything within an hour or two of Liberia/San Jose is pretty sketch these days.

Aka “never tube”

Always surf. Airs on the lefts 😅

I've been spending winters here for three years and its really sick tbh, highly under rated!! Popoyo is the best though...so hard to beat. Eat a chili dog from Maddogs for me. hehehe

Jersey ?

@ the rights can tube BUT its gotta be the right conditions, I've never gotten a left barrel here hehehe

Encuentro - Tier 1, El Encuentro Surf Lodge, Swell. Tier 2: Playa Encuentro: Wave Rider Apartments (weekly and monthly) 500-800/m, Tier 3: Gypsy Ranch Rooms (cheapest, on main road, but still nice. ) Check AIRBNB always because there are stellar deals here to be had on AIRBNB! Many homes have ADU style apartments for rent on Airbnb! Cabrera,Rio San Juan (you need a car or scooter). and Las Terranas (car or scooter recommended) Airbnb is the only thing I have used here. Lots of options. Booking.com is always a good resource to get a grasp of the options if you would rather stay in hotels. Watch my full guide on this channel.

Its a sick place!!!

heya dude I use a gopro bite mount and a arm leash from ho stevie. I also duct tap the bolt to an angle that I like so it doesnt move around when I surf! thanks for watching! pura vida.

@@AdventureFitnessFreedom yewwwwww

Exactement!!!!

YEWWWWWWWW

heheh OK. "Miki Dora, a famous surfer from the 1960s and 1970s, was not a Nazi, but he did have some controversial associations and a reputation for being a countercultural figure. Dora was known for his rebellious and independent personality, as well as his disdain for mainstream surf culture. While there are rumors and some reports that suggest he had some sympathetic leanings toward far-right views, there is no definitive evidence that he was a Nazi or openly identified with such ideology. Most of the controversy surrounding Dora comes from his personal life and interactions rather than his political views. Some people have pointed to his affinity for certain controversial figures or his involvement with fringe groups, but these associations don't conclusively define his entire worldview. In short, Dora was a complex figure whose life included many contradictions, but there's no solid evidence to label him as a Nazi. His legacy is primarily tied to his surf career and influence on the sport." Furthermore you should read the book David Rensin wrote about Dora. I've read it three times now. I think he and some dudes drew some swastikas on their surfboards to troll the people at Malibu and that's about it. I think some other dudes even wrote a movie about it called "surf nazis must die". Also for context: MIKI adored his mother, Ramona who married Gard Chapin (the man who taught Dora to surf) and this is what my google search said about Ramona: "Ramona Dora was born in Paris, France to a Jewish Croatian father and a Catholic French mother2. She was Pablo Picasso's muse from 1936-19442" "Miklos Dora was born to a religious Jewish family in Oradea, Romania. He was a noted surfer in Malibu, California in the 1950s and 1960s." Pretty interesting right? Gonna make a vid soon about non fiction surf books! Thanks for watching Basile!

man that movie was a masterpiece....

It's fun LOL, we are all gonna die

yeah one of my friends is 6'3 240 and has a neck as thick as my body and he never has to deal with this BS LOL

Thats the truth!

Nah lots of polite surfers who don't get upset just because other people happen to exist.

Not even close to any secret spots LOL, the most surfed beach in Guanacaste. Directly in front of a dozen hotels where you can buy 20 dollar burgers and five dollar Imperials.

It seems to be some sort of personal problem these dudes have. They almost always target kids. Imagine if a grown man was acting like this on a football pitch or a basketball court. We should just call them what they are: Karens.

dude I saw someone stomping airs on a 5'6 one of those it looked so sick

Correct :)

troof

Dude I've recently been turned onto Northern Brazil. I need to do some trips there and check it out but it seems really really sweet TBH!! Thanks for the comment! Seriously.

@@SigmaSurf Im super plugged into the Northeast, been surfing that area since 94', Joao Pessoa Paraiba is my home base. I went by old Surfer Magazine Surf Reports in the 90's trying to find waves

@ dude that region looks so fire. Hurricane season or north hemi winter?

need to take a taxi from Alajuela where the airport is to Tralapa station downtown San Jose. From there you can get a direct bus!

correct! It's gotten pretty bad in CR these days, lots of people are choosing other places. Costa Rica violent crime has risen 30 percent in four years where it has dropped to almost nothing in Nicaragua/ El Salvador.
