Question Eh Tom thanks for youre time.Ive spent the last couple months trying plan a little surf trip,and has been nothing more than fustrating.I have never left Canada,Ive narrowed it down to the Los Cabos area or an area just an hour bus ride from Puerto Vallarta( the name escapes me).I dont want to go to an all inclusive resort nor do I wanna go too cheap.Im single 33 and just want to relax,drink cold beer,mingle and learn to surf.Any suggestions or input? Thanks for your time,
Robbie
Answer Hola Robbie...
The place north of Puerto Vallarta that you speak of almost surely has to be Sayulita or San Francisco. If you do an internet search for "Surf Sayulita" or "Surf San Pancho" you should get a ton of information. You will find lodging to be a bit pricey until you get north of San Francisco. But if you hang out with other surfers, you might find someone who will share rent. Once you are far enough north of Puerto Vallarta (north of San Francisco) you would find lower cost lodging but less surf.
My guess is that you would be happier to not over-plan your trip. I think you should spend your time finding out about what surf sounds best for you and at what time of year, pick a place and just head on down.
