Any information on best locations and an inexpensive place to stay for about a month would be greatly appreciated.

There has never been any posts at all about costa rica. Nobody has ever kited there and nobody knows anything about it. I have never even heard of Costa Rica. pkh Since 27 Feb 2005 6549 Posts Couve / Hood Honored Founder Thu Oct 15, 09 8:55 am     Like monkey said (sarcastically), there's a lot of info if you use the search. General summary: Super windy, beautiful country. Make sure you plan both a kiting porition of your trip, and a non-kiting portiion. As some of the best parts of the country are not where you go kiting. Don't go to just one place, I'd plan on hitting at least 2-3 spots in the Country. The kiting is intermediate to advanced just because its so windy. Bring a 5m-7m-9m... 9m will be your lightwind kite (no kidding.) playacopal Since 15 Sep 2008 30 Posts   Thu Oct 15, 09 11:27 am     These guys are correct. We offer kite lessons, gear rental and beach front villas in Bahia Salinas, Costa Rica...great wind, super fun kiting. Also can get you to other non-kiting adventures...close to the border of Nicaragua, which is also a great place!!!! email me for info and prices Bob Selfridge Cometa Copal Kitesurfing Bahia Salinas, Playa Copal Costa Rica sun seeker Since 09 Dec 2007 24 Posts   Thu Oct 15, 09 6:27 pm    Costa Rica Thanks for the replies.

Headed back there in 2 days. this spring I spent most of my time on a 7 or 5m. Recreo was Awesome. My Recreo/ Windwing trip was one of best 9 days of my life. (And I was there working ) There is so much to do, I hardly even wanted to kite. Rincon is a must. Zip-lines, horseback, tubing, mud bath, sauna... If you are going to travel around CR for a while I would still bring a 12m for the coastal sites. I hear they're not as strong as in Bahia Salinas (and mostly off-shore). Contact Bob Selfridge. He knows it all, and can hook you up. I can't wait to get back there. Jonathon Talk Doctor Since 22 Oct 2009 1 Posts New Member Thu Oct 22, 09 7:27 am     Like Bob said. A great place.
