Best Trip Ever!! Accommodations are superb. All the creature comforts of home that you could possibly need or want. Pool, super comfy beds with a/c in each room, tv's galore, wifi, plenty of lounging space, and most importantly we didn't have to make our meals as that was included and provided for by Bob. Although if you like to nosh all throughout the day like me, I'd advise you to bring plenty of snacks or you can take a short walk into town and grab something. We were lucky in that his son, Bobby was there and who happens to be a chef. He cooked up some delectable, mouth watering meals for us. Thanks for the grinds Bobby! But make no mistake , Bob who usually does the cooking is no slouch in the kitchen, whipping up enough tasty, hearty meals to satisfy even the most ravenous of appetites. Thanks to you also Bob especially for the delicious banana pancakes, but maybe next time you should try it my way, yeah they're a little misshapened but still savory:) Insanely good waves. Don't let people tell you Costra Rica is a soft crowded wave. Bob's crew will show you exactly where to be and when to be there. You can be as mellow or as intense as you want.
Been surfing for years and never hired a guide - first time and would do it again in a hearbeat. Take care of all the boards, food, transportation, scheduling etc so you can just surf and chill. Great team for surf training, post surf massage or yoga, zip lines and other adventures for non surfers. Real Surf Trips is the real deal. Pura Vida The seasoned surfers in the group couldn't get enough: one beach in the backyard and another a 5 min drive provided plenty of material. There is a reason these guys did two or three sessions a day.
Can't say enough good things about Real Surf Trips...

ABOUT THE SURF CAMP
LOCATION AND SURF CONDITIONS
Playa Negra is an old coral volcanic reef break that is a perfect reeling right. All around Playa Negra are amazing spots, many still are not surfed. At high tide, Playa Negra is an easy wave with a dry-hair paddle out. At this tide it is common to see 20-30 surfers out — many being beginner surfers. At low tide a slamming barrel forms over a shallow reef leading to a ramp section. The paddle out (rock dance) at this tide looks frightening to beginner surfers (but is basic). At this tide and especially with a little onshore wind it is uncommon to see more than a few surfers taking advantage of these amazing waves. Morning winds are light offshore and there are many surf breaks (some of the best in the world) with plenty of perfect peaks to choose from. The beach breaks only work with favorable wind conditions so we tend to focus on these spots during mornings, when the wind is good. Every variance in swell angle opens new possibilities in where we surf. We have reef breaks for every swell angle and condition, from a wave very similar to Playa Negra (never seen more than 6 surfers out there) to outer reefs reminiscent of the Eastside of Oahu, to a perfect A-frame reef setup that comes to life when the swell is too far south for Negra- only 5 minutes from our location).

OTHER ACTIVITIES
The Northwest Pacific region of Guanacaste is the driest area of Costa Rica with beautiful beaches that stretch for miles. The ‘Gold Coast’ is a prime area for sun and relaxation. Little rain and consistent warm temperatures offer visitors an enviable climate, breathtaking beaches and lovely Pacific sunsets. The land is still ”virgin” and undisturbed. It is still customary to see real cowboys, wild horses, cattle traffic jams, and wild bull fights, an experience that makes Costa Rica unique. A cultural experience that is becoming rare-if not extinct. When you’re not surfing there is plenty to do — check out the beaches and explore the tidal pools. Nearby, discover all kinds of wildlife including Howler Monkeys, Iguanas, Toucans and much more. Chill at the local hotel and have a cold beer, play pool or grab your skate deck and hit the new Playa Negra skate park!

SURF CONDITIONS
With some of the most consistent waves and surf breaks in the region Playa Negra is an incredible surf spot in the northwestern region of Guanacaste. This dark sand beach holds a reef break making it ideal for the beginner surfer as well as the expert surfer. The pristine beaches of Playa Negra are dark-colored and rocky in many parts. For sun-bathing and swimming there is a stretch of sandy, protected beach some 100m south of the famous break.
Playa Negra is unique in that it breaks on all tides, picks up most all swell directions and holds almost any swell. It is the area’s swell magnet, therefore super consistent. Conversely, Playa Negra is the first to pick up swells and hold them the longest, a surfer’s dream.
Playa Negra may be a little harder to get to; and in some cases even find — by driving through local dirt roads without directional signs but worth the adventure, but dont worry, you are with us. Plus, we are strategically poised to go explore some of the lesser-known spots that will go nameless. Let’s just say they are close by and no one wants to show you where they are.
SURROUNDINGS / REGION
Playa Negra is located in Costa Rica, close to a town called Los Pargos. It has developed to be a small village catering to the active lifestyle featuring: a yoga center, adventure tours, several small shops, surf shops, surf rentals and various cabinas and hotels. Playa Negra offers several restaurants: famous Peruvian food at Cafe Playa Negra, French cuisine at Villa Deevena, Tex Mex at Jalepenos and Pizza at La Vida Buena. The atmosphere in the streets is safe & laid back – maybe it’s the great surf of Playa Negra which puts this happy grin on the faces of most people you meet here.
JOURNEY
Arriving at Liberia International Airport
The best way to get to Playa Negra is to land at Liberia International airport. There are numerous regular flights from the USA landing at Liberia airport: Delta Airlines, American Airlines, Continental and our partner jetBlue Airlines all fly from major cities daily. Liberia airport is only a 1.5 hour drive from our location and our shuttle service will be waiting to pick you up. Please check with us for the best fares available. We stay on top of all airline deals and would be happy to keep you posted on the best fares available.
Arriving at San Jose International Airport
The other option (and not recommended) is to arrive at San Jose International Airport.
If you do, our suggestion is to get a connecting flight with a local airline (SANSA or Nature Air) to Tamarindo airport or take the bus to Guanacaste. Daily flights are available and about $100 each way, but book way ahead, flights are usually crowded.
WARNING: Be careful as there are board bag restrictions and not allowed on some flights. Take into consideration the amount of time it will take to make it to Playa Negra, you will lose a half day on either end. If you make the trek from San Jose our shuttle wll be gladly waiting for you! In all our experince we highly recommend flying into Liberia.
