Recommendations for a Beginner / Intermediate Surf Vacation Location. Live in Colorado and don't surf, but comfortable in the water, having lived in Portland and windsurfed comfortably in the Gorge.
Last year my family and I went to Nosara Costa Rica for a week in March. The week we were there there was a rather large storm cycle and its a beach break so I had my ass handed to me. On a long board the paddle out was a 45 min ordeal and I lost my leash twice. I would rather rap off the Diamond on Longs in a hail storm than do that again.
So ... looking for some where with a more of chance of things being benign. Seems like Puerto has a lot but concerned about the crowds.
Recommendations?

Surfor conditions are super season and swell dependent. I'd look for a surf camp type place that caters to fams and different levels of surfers. Obviously Costa Rica and also check out Ecuador.

Last year at this time I had the best surf trip of my life. I suck and was still able to get barreled. One of the best feelings ever and I've sampled a few. I didn't even get in anyone's way which might say I'm learning something. It's not a deep end at the local bowl for me. It's new and I've been at it for over ten years.
Thank you surfing for teaching me patience. It bleeds to all I do.
I haven't surfed since. 🙁

Referring to the #1 post in this thread, the last good surf I scored was with Leavitt early this summer at a very difficult to access, very high quality wave on a fine southwest swell, with one other friend and only three other people in the water. We all got a big stack of superfine waves and toward the end of the session, Leavitt, exhausted, comes paddling back from ANOTHER great ride, almost too tired to sit up on his board, and gasps out, "I'm tired of winning."
"Tired of winning."
It should be on his tombstone.

NJ has been good for the winter season. However, this past Sunday is was overhead, cracking, 12 deg F with 20 mph off shore winds at Manasquan. My 14 year old is still calling me a sissy for not going out.

What an entertaining thread this has been to read! It's all play within mother Earth's gravity well, it's all good. And I feel compelled to replace surfing with skiing and paddling for those of us who live here in the Rockies, far from the coast.

Gunks 2.5 hours. Other less stellar climbing closer. Not climbing when temps in teens (F).
