Looking like a trip to Playa Grande w/the wife and kids is in the cards for July. Will be staying w/some local friends about a quarter mile N of the Tamarindo estuary. Despite all the places I've been to surf in my 54 years, I've never been to CR. Looks like good beginner waves for the family around where we're staying, then more juice the farther N you go? My 12/y/o son definitely wants to bring his shortboard. I figure I'll pack it with my Sweet Potato and then rent other boards/longboards as needed? Or should I try to also bring my 9'4" (Delta - so no crazy surfboard fees).Would welcome any and all advice - including car rental in Tamarindo for day trips.
