Tamarindo... Costa Rica, right? I spent a few days there about 10 years ago at a place called Hotel Pasatiempo. What a great place to be!!

Ordered a fish meal at some restaurant there and shortly thereafter a small boat arrived with a freshly caught dorado!! It was fantastic!

of the supposed secret spots along the 7 sisters area, just north of Bahia Santa Rosalillita, 30 years before it was a secret

When we came north from BA at the middle of last month, you should have seen all the vehicles heading south with several board on the roof.
They were heading down to catch the south swell from the hurricanes.
We probably saw about 40 vehicles heading south.

I have to agree with 850, the only spots to surf in Baja are in that book. There are no other spots and never will be. That's my story, and I'm
sticking to it.....

Back in 1992 I was sitting in the water at Tamarindo between sets and talking to another gringo. He said he couldn't believe how warm the water was
compared to "The Rock" in CA. I asked him what rock, and it turned out he was talking about Morro Rock. He worked at the Abalone farm in Cayucos and
lived about 20 minutes from my house. Small world.........
Two dirt roads diverged in Baja and I, I took the one less graveled by......

Rocks are very dangerous here, as is surfing, generally. Avoid getting hurt. Don't surf.

Hah hah! I love it when surf shop owners sell some clueless beginner one of those stripped down to its skeletal elements surfboards that only the
pro's can ride cuz then I know they'll lose interest after the first few times out.
