Planning a trip to either Honduras or Costa Rica. Which is better for wind surfing and fun bar/restaurants?
My wife and I are planning a one-week vacation in Central America away from the kids. We're in our mid-30s and still pretty active with regard to water sports such as wind surfing, snorkeling, swimming, kayaking, etc. (We don't intend to do any scuba diving on the trip.)
The ideal place would have fun activities during the day and hopping bar/restaurants at night. Cost is not an issue. We've narrowed it down to either Costa Rica or Bay Islands of Honduras. Any advice from someone who has been to both?
Costa Rica is fantastic in many ways, however the bar hopping/restaurants at night this will greatly depend on where you stay if you will have access to this or not.
There are many parts of Costa Rica that are very enjoyable to visit. Some of my clients will say go to Guanacaste for a week for just a beach stay and others will visit maybe 3. However if you are going for a week I really wouldn't do more than 2.
Between the two I would have to say check out Costa Rica. Honduras is definitely beautiful; I just love Costa Rica and hear such rave reviews from here on the countries beauty and friendly locals. It's also quite active for what you want to do.
I would suggest working with a good agent who can not only help in the areas to stay in, but the hotels that are best felt would fit you. Because I can tell you some for sure will not fit your needs.
Much against popular belief agents don't tack on commissions. Well I really can't speak for all I suppose. I know our company does charge min. service fees as we look into many avenues to save you the most money we can for your dates. An agent can ask you various questions to determine which we feel is the best fit for you and what you are wanting. Not all agents can or are good at this. It is like any profession there are good, bad and lazy agents out there.
Please do be careful in planning this on your own if you chose to do so, because not all hotels online in photos are what they seem and you can only take reviews with a grain of salt. Now it is ok to look at reviews and if one has excessive ones then it is a good bet it is best to stay away from that one.
There are also two main airports you can fly into and depending on your departure city and which parts you end up staying in will determine which you will fly into. Costa Rica is a huge country more so than it looks!
If you like I would be happy to help you with this trip for you and your wife. Feel free to email me and I can help you from there.
Either way if I don't hear from you though I do wish you the best of trip in Central America!
Is wind surfing somewhat easy to do?
I am a very good snowboarder and can get up on a surf/wake board. With that said, do you think that wind surfing will be semi-easy? Im in Hawaii and we are trying to figure out if we want to do it. Is it fun?
Windsurfing is probably about as hard to learn as snowboarding maybe even easier. I took a 4 day class that lasted 4 hours each day, and by the end of the week I was able to stand on the board for a while and get it moving in the way I wanted it. I do know how to sail which came in handy when learning how to get the board to go the right way, but its not that hard.
How is the wind surfing on the lake of fire?
Bare in mind the air currents that could be created by the inferno's design.
Err, bear in mind
well, with my self-designed asbestos sail it's pretty cool...i mean it's really hot...umm...it's fun!

is there surf boarding(not wind surfing) in greece?

If you are looking for California type waves forget it.
On the other hand once in a while the waves might almost be big enough 1 1/2 feet sometimes for skimboarding. I live in LA but once in a while, when I visit the Greek Isles there are some small waves that are actually enough to body surf for a few short feet, but that's rare.
Many of the beaches have grey, not white sand, and most of them have a lot of rocks. So even if there were some big waves(which there are not) you would have huge scratch marks in your board in no time.
But there are some very nice things about Greek beaches.
You see lots of people from various countries. The water at most beaches is very very clear. Most beaches have tiny mini
marts and taverns close the the shore.
Greek beaches are one of the nicest places in Europe to visit and spend your time. And at night the night life is usually great. Especially on the islands from May to Sept. Food is inexpensive compared to Western Europe. Most Greeks are friendly to tourists. They recognize that tourists bring money to Greece.
