Costa Rica Surfing World Well, here goes! Welcome to the first-ever Costa Rica Surfing World blog post written by me, Ellen Zoe Golden. Perhaps you know me from my 15 years of surf reporting in The Howler magazine, which was located here in Guanacaste, Costa Rica.  The magazine finished publishing this month, and I wanted to continue the coverage of our national surfers.

There are so many excursions and activities to do around Tamarindo that it can be difficult to decide what to do…When we, The Wandering Wheelers, heard about the Beach and Pool Crawl, which occurs every Sunday, we weren’t sure what we were getting ourselves into, but we went for it anyway and we are so glad we did. We loved this activity so much that we went on it not once, but twice during our 6 week stay in Tamarindo!…

I’ve been blessed to live in this beautiful country for the past six years, and around this time of year all people are talking about is Envision: are you going or are you not?

If you live in Costa Rica, visited or plan to visit, you have probably heard about Envision, the super earthy, spiritual, yogi, peace loving festival. Many of my friends and people I meet are going. I am not. Being a diehard yogi, when I first heard about Envision I have to admit I was a little curious. However, after looking into it, I was not even close to being sold. Thanks, but no thanks (for that bridge to nowhere). My…

Many people make Tamarindo their home or starting point because it is a great place to connect with other travelers to venture to other parts of the country (or other countries) together.
