Surfboard Fishing



The surf was flat for a few days so I paddled out and loved it, while Chad got creative and thought of another way to occupy himself. Him and our buddy Brett took out their longboards and a couple Tico fishing reels and headed on their way to do a little surfboard fishing. They paddled over the reef towards Punta Mala in search of some big fish. Rumor has it that this particular area is extremely SHARK infested, so I was crossing my fingers that they didn't end up with a giant shark on the end of the line (or a crocodile for that matter). They found me on the beach about 3 hours later with a 10 pound Barred Pargo on the end of their line. They were extremely pleased with themselves and were heading to the store to get the necessary ingredients to make ceviche. The town was pretty impressed as well and there is talk of an article in the local newspaper (Jaco Pirate) featuring this lovely surfboard fishing duo!
