Going there for a week at the end of March. Just me and the wife. We'll be staying on the West Coast, in Tamarindo. I haven't surfed in 2.5 years, I can't wait.
Anyone been? Tips on places to go, things to do besides surfing? For Madirish or anyone else who knows: my gym doesn't have a pool, but I've been hitting it hard trying to target my back and shoulder muscles as much as possible. Low weight, high rep. Any tips on other things or specific exercises that will get me back in surfing shape?

swimming, swimming, swimming.
rough your gym don't got a pool- is there a YMCA around? might laugh, but i used to go to mine in DC all the time and no one was *ever* in it, and it was maintained perfectly.
otherwise, chopping wood and squats are nice

There is a Y near us, and it's pretty ghetto. For some reason the smell of graham crackers is everywhere.
I wish I had one of those Vasa swim trainers, alas we dumped a fair load of cash on this vacation so things will be lean for a second...
- i know it- but i bet NO ONE goes in the pool- srsly. maybe a comm. rec. center? the one here is dope..– madirish

mad, you ever been? I hear most of the good spots in that area are super fun and consistent, although they aren't known for heaviness...which is a good thing considering my rustiness and humble EC roots, in spite of all the years I logged in the water.

I got a santa monica hard case. Highly recommend. Bought it off craig's list since the company is no more. They might lose our luggage, but at least my boards will be intact!
What island you going to? Or is it The Spot That Cannot be Named?
- do you mean santa cruz?– wendog1/2
  Nope, it's Santa Monica.

Do you like Ice Cream?
Good. Go to the local liquor store and buy an piece of ice cream heaven named a TREET, or something that says treet. It is an ice cream sandwich that is the best ever.
You'll thank me later.

  no, i am being serious. When I went for a month I ate at least one a day on the beach. Sometimes 2. They go great with a tall can of beer.– capn_ron2/4

See, regular surfing is not so realistic for me here in St. Louis.
We should definitely meet up. We'll be on the beach in Tamarindo. There's a good beachbreak in front of the hotel. I'm planning on taking the boat to Ollie's and Witch's Rock.
Our travel agent surfs, he said he'd give me a few tips on out-of-the-way spots to check (we'll see about that...)

we've already booked a pretty sweet deal at a 4-star hotel in Tamarindo. I think I'll take my chances with the boat taxis, as I understand it the charters are hella expensive.
wendog, we're doing the zipline tour through the rainforest – should be dope.
