If you are just starting out surfing yourself, then may I recommend some
kind of surf camp, surf school or surf type of resort where you can
really absorb the sport over the course of days, much like a seminar
experience.
Surfing is a sport, in particular, that requires absorption and immersion
over a period of time for most folks, although I have seen a few
luck individuals who can pick it up very quickly, even in one day. But
that is a rarity, as this is not a sport like bowling or throwing
horseshoes as it requires a little more in the way of agility and muscle
memory that some others I am aware of. I have never been there myself
but I have heard that Costa Rica in central America is a top surfing
destination and that they offer some great surf tours in costa rica
as well as a costa rica surf camp and vacation. In fact, they even have
costa rica surf yoga available. Pretty cool I would say. So consider
a costa rica surf camp if you get the time and opportunity. For it’s part, the
little postage stamp sized Latin American country has 2 distinct airports which
happen to take various international flights from all around the globe. The
bigger of these 2 airports, known as the Juan Santamaria International Airport,
for quite some time was the one and only such airport in the entire country.
All in all, it is served by the majority of United States based airlines
like the friendly skies of Delta, United airlines, American (try to avoid
this airline if you can, I have had several very bad experiences with
these guys, unfortunatey), plus numerous additional international airlines
such as Virgin Atlantic, the Holland based KLM, Spain based Iberia, Mexico
based Mexicana, British Airways (I do recommend this one) Canadian
controlled Air Canada as well as a bunch more carriers.
The central location of this primary airport is indeed ideal, making it
ahandy hub where can go to nearly any portion of the country in about six
hours or less, generally speaking.
