District of Cóbano, Puntarenas, Costa Rica

Thinking ahead to the 2025 summer season, I feel it is a good time to talk about some places on the Nicoya Peninsula. I want to help future visitors to the area to be more familiar with this part of Costa Rica.
Besides surfing lessons with me, you can enjoy many other things on the peninsula.
Let’s talk about Cobano, the 10th district of the canton of Puntarenas and is where Santa Teresa, Mal Pais, Montezuma, Tambor and the town of Cobano are located.

Summer Season coming to Costa Rica

The summer season is coming in Costa Rica and I can’t wait to come back for it and feel the color of the beautiful beaches of Santa Teresa and Mal Pais. I anticipate a great season as more transportation options will be available to get to Costa Rica from Europe, Canada and the United States. In the Nicoya area there are many beaches that have different characteristics for surfing. I would like to talk about those as I often use them for the surf lessons.

The Morbihan Gulf Festival

Feeling tarnished from all the work this last summer season, I decided to take a vacation this year outside of Costa Rica and I chose my homeland France as the destination to visit. I was invited by a friend of mine to Monks Island in Brittany.
I arrived just in time to enjoy the Festival of Morbihan. This event is about thousands of sailboats visiting the island in the middle of the Gulf of Morbihan. This island happens to be Monks Island.

SUP, standing board paddling for seniors

Recently, I had a SUP tour in the Pochote estuary with three amazing people, Claudia, Elizabeth, and Scott.
The timing couldn’t be better since I wanted to talk about how paddleboarding can be the right water activity for seniors. All of them were over 65 years old and without much experience in SUP, they were handling the rowing easily in a few minutes.

2022:What happened?

2022 just went away some days ago. I’m going to miss it because a lot of cool stuff happened. I went to serve overseas, found a nice spot for my SUP tours, and met many nice people. 
I expect 2023 to be a great year, but it will be hard for the new year to compete with the one that just passed. 
I will share a glimpse of what happened to me this last year. then I’ll share with you what are my projects for this new year. I hope you like it.

What green season means for Nicoya surfing scene

How the weather conditions and the seasons affect the surfing scene is a really interesting topic. Every surf instructor should be aware of the conditions of the beach after a storm or a long period without rain. Local weather conditions are not enough but checking these at a regional level is important because swells formed away from land inside the ocean.

A summer season I will not forget

The first rains are coming this month of May and I got the message: the summer season is gone.
The green season is just around the corner and with it, chirping birds come back to the mornings. Insects get out of the ground after being buried for months. Fresh afternoons with drinking tea while rains. Cold nights watching TV while being sheltered inside a blanket. I’m sure you get the idea.
