Costa Rica - recommendations please!
NicandDave - 27-7-2006 at 13:57

We're thinking of windsurfing in Costa Rica in mid to late November. Lots of people have recommended Lake Arenal, but we've also seen the link from this site to the Kitehouse (although not sure if this is more for kitesurfers?) Has anyone been to either of those (or both) and if so, is November a good time to go (Tico Wind, at Lake Arenal, looks like it opens in December?), where should we stay, is the hire kit ok, and is one better than the other? Any any tips/thoughts would be very welcome!
Thanks alot!

I believe Lake Arenal is windiest around Feb/March. Tico wind is run by Peter, a Brit (well a scouser actually) and he operates in Jeri until November then transfers his equipment to Costa Rica. I've used him in Jeri and he runs a good setup.
I can't speak for other places in Costa Rica.
