"Costa Rica is, today, the nation with the lowest mortality among the 10 favorite world destinations for to surf."
Have you already started to think about your next surf trip, when all this madness ends? Maybe a quick jaunt to Bali? Mexico? Oahu’s south shore? Lemoore, California? Travel will be brutal, I imagine, with once-friendly stewards and stewardesses dressing as extras from the film Contagion…
…zero food or drink, inflight magazines burned in giant barrels etc. but surfers gonna surf so where will you head?
The Central American nation of Costa Rica is predicting itself as the real winner, post-Covid, and let’s learn more about the surprisingly bullish claim. Let’s get our information directly from the Q Network.
Surfers who will travel again in search of waves and also consider the sanitary measures carried out by country during the coronavirus, will find that Costa Rica is, today, the nation with the lowest mortality among the 10 favorite world destinations for to surf.
With a mortality rate of just 1.08% during the contagion days so far, Costa Rica is today, the ninth country in the world that has best treated the health emergency, but the first among the 10 most visited destinations for surfing reasons.
Both National Geographic and other international media have repeatedly placed Costa Rica among the Top 10 of privileged countries to surf in their publications.
The other nine destinations are: Indonesia, Hawaii, the United States, Australia, South Africa, Spain, New Zealand, Brazil and Ireland.
However, Costa Rica, within that Top 10, is with the lowest mortality rate and with the least amount of infections in relation to the entire population.
Very wonderful, I suppose, though again… bullish. Less than two months ago, Costa Rican police officers appeared to shoot at surfers in the water, very much not wanting them at all.
Could it all be a trick?
A trap set where many surfers fly to Costa Rica with promises of disease-free waves and then get locked into work camps to slave and atone for the 1992 Gérard Depardieu vehicle 1492: Conquest of Paradise?
Possibly.

Miss the Jaco crack whores. Very privileged..

Bathrooms used to be larger with room on the vanity….
The heavier the carbon footprint the better. FTW and everyone in it. Hey, I got my 3 foot slop wave on the other side of the world and it was massively awesome!!!
Didn’t seem like you would know that term BB?
I will add Fiji has had zero deaths.
Apart from the other deaths that Noone gives a shit about anymore
True and so many of them easily preventable but as long as it doesn’t affect people in wealthy countries then most people don’t seem to be worried. Not many really elderly people here.
If anyone needs to travel to get good surf they are doing it wrong.
Nothing like accidentally getting barreled to give you a false sense of confidence.
Who needs Anthony Robbins when we have occasional accidental barrels
rules out california
If this means less brochachos in Nicaragua, I’m for it.
This is certainly not racist, but don’t you think these “rich coasters” are being essentialists?
Just don’t get shot at
Hey, SpaceX launch booth commentators better than WSL.
Does the grunion run go as far south as Costa Rica ?
And if so, what effect does it have on their local skark season ?
You made me learn something.
Grunion are two fish species of the genus Leuresthes: the California grunion, L. tenuis, and the Gulf grunion, L. sardinas. They are sardine-sized teleost fishes of the New World silverside family Atherinopsidae, found only off the coast of California, USA, and Baja California, Mexico, where the species are found on both the Pacific Ocean and Gulf of California coasts

so deadpan!
Proof that BG is an educationally sharing community, unlike stab or inertia etc…
Once it starts raining, look for gators and you won’t remember to fear sharks any longer.
It really is scary as shit paddling out knowing there are rivers on both sides of you just trying push one out in the lineup.
Yes it really is. Every floating anything looks like a gator.
Then you drive over any bridge and look down…
