Not every place is hostile, from my personal experience surfing all around the world (Brazil, Peru, Mexico, Philippines, etc) I only experienced hostility in SoCal. So maybe it's just the US thing.
- slg 9y agoIf scarcity is really the problem than I imagine it is a function of the number of surfers over the length of viable coastline. Is there anywhere in the world that has a higher density of surfers than Southern California?
- orthecreedence 9y agoNot higher density, but Santa Cruz definitely gets vibes depending on the spot and the waves. It gets bad after a dry spell, like during summers. People are jonesing =]
- noknockers 9y agoBeen to snapper?
- IanDrake 9y agoBeen to any point breaks in C.R. in the last 5-6 years? The locals have gone from "what's surfing?" to "go home gringo!" in about 20 years. I've never had a problem in SoCal, but then I've only been to a few breaks.

- nnd 9y agoGood to know, now I'm definitely skipping Costa Rica :)
- johankmagnusson 9y agoI've been to CR a couple of times the past few years and the beach breaks are great and people are super nice. I've never experienced any hostility in the water there, or elsewhere in the world either for that matter. Being considerate of other surfers goes a long way and should someone act like an ass just move a couple of 100m up or down the beach. There is always another ok break close by.
- IanDrake 9y agoThat's true. I still like playa grande.
- azernik 9y agoHostility from other surfers or from local property owners? State ownership of the coastlines is deeply resented and constantly undermined by shoreline homeowners.
