Default Costa Rica trip

Just got back from a week in Costa Rica. I obviously went to check out Arenal Lake and Tamarindo Beach (more for surfing). Neither place was windy (of course) but I knew it already, anyway, Arenal lake is an absolutely fantastic place....but not for kiting or better not for beginners. We stayed at Tilawa Hotel (we were the only guests !!!) which by the way has a very nice skate park, very friendly staff, a nice pool and a beautiful hill were you can fly you foil kites. We then checked the launching area at the lake; I must say that it did not look too safe to me, hopefully once you are able to go out a bit it should really get better. If you can't stay upwind...well, you are going to end up in a little bay where the wind is ever gustier.
Tamarindo is on the W coast, it's a nice little town, surf/backpackers style = lots of fun. Unfortunately it was raining (it is the rainy season !!) but it looks definitely safer in terms of launching/landing. I'm trying to upload some pics....hope it works.

Hope to see you all in the water tomorrow.....
