I recently went to CR, and realized only after I got there how expensive it is...so I went to Nicaragua. I did a tour with a company called Surf Tours Nicaragua (www.surftoursnicaragua.com) and want to give them a plug, as the tour was AWESOME! I was there for 2 weeks, scored the best waves of my life, never got lost, saw places that I would have NEVER found on my own, ate great food, stayed in nice places, and overall loved the whole adventure. So...it bodes the question...why do people go to Costa Rica?

A friend of surftrip.com used Surf Tours Nicaragua and had a great time as well. We can't wait to check it out. Cheers and Thanks for the post.
