Surf Travel Guides for Baja, Costa Rica and Nicaragua
It started in 1996 with The Surfer's Guide to Costa Rica, the first comprehensive surf travel guide, covering
not only the breaks and their characteristics, but detailed info on how to get there, what to pack, where to
stay and other helpful tips. The Costa Rica guide was followed by The Surfer’s Guide to Baja in 1999. Then
in 2006 the Costa Rica guide added Nicaragua.
Many, many guides have since followed in these footsteps, especially for Costa Rica, one of the more
popular surf travel destinations. They all had great pictures (The Surfer’s Guide to Costa Rica originally had
none), and some have been pretty good, but none with the same level of detail or as frequent updates.
The tradition continues, with more online than ever before. So click the links above to get to the online
versions of The Surfer's Guide to Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Baja. If you want more info, the full-on guides
with all the details of where to surf and sleep, check out the good old-fashioned guidebooks. The full, highly
detailed books are still available at your local surf shop or online retailer - practical surf travel guides you
can cram in a backpack and take anywhere. Notebook-size recycled paper, not pocket-books, so they're
perfect for adding your own travel notes and further detail to the maps, customizing for your surf travel
needs. Leave your laptop at home, save your printer ink and don't worry about searching out internet cafes.
Pack your books for proper Central America and Mexico surf travel. Then go online when it's convenient, not
a necessity. Or, if you have a few extra bucks, bring your phone with an international data plan and log on
from the remote (within a few miles of a cell tower!) beaches of Baja and Central America.
As always, we recommend you check Surfline, MagicSeaweed, WaveWatch, Nicaragua Surf Report and Surf-
Forecast for up-to-date surf conditions. And the State Department for the latest travel warnings. But always,
before you go be sure to get your detailed travel background, surf travel tips, surf travel news, packing tips
and more at The Surfer's Guides to Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Baja.

Survivor Reality Hit TV Show Comes to Nicaragua
The show that practically invented reality TV begins filming two seasons
of Survivor Nicaragua in locations near San Juan del Sur on July 15.
NBC's Survivor is aired in more than 150 countries, so the exposure is huge and is sure to cast the country
better known for Contras versus Sandinistas than Prime Time television shows. The immediate impact will
be thousands of hotel room nights taken by the cast and crew over the six month production period. That
means fewer and more expensive rooms for surf tourists, but more importantly, a needed boost to the local
economy. Not sure how much the lineups will be affected, as the production community is loaded with
surfers, but with fewer rooms available for tourists it might all be a wash. More on surfing Nicaragua here.
