Hi, Dalton
If you guys surf the high tide push at Playa Grande's main peak, look for our youngest, Jeremy, who now lives there. Girlfriend Mallory works afternoons at SkipJackInn restaurant ... good eats! Also check out the Taco stand at Grande break by Las Tortugas hotel. -BobF

... positioning and selection

I've crossed that river mouth a few times and also at Boca. Boca is worst cause the water is muddy. Knew a guy that got his calf muscle messed up at Boca. He was the the guy that took me there for my first time. Poor Dude, his surfing days appear to be over.

-------------------------
Ah, religion, bigotry dressed up as morality.

I've been surfing Tamarindo since 1997 and know that estuary has a few big crocs, but I've never seen one in the lineup. The rivermouth has shifted farther south, up towards the more populated part of the beach so there's a bigger chance someone is going to be bit. If you are traveling that way, just be vigilant (and maybe surf in front of the Diria instead).

I was under the impression this happened more in the river trying to cross from the Tamarindo side to the Playa Grande side, not out in the line up itself.

Replace turf grass with native plants that don't need irrigation and synthetic fertilizers or chemicals that can go into our waterways and ocean

I crossed that at knee-deep; moderate paranoia.. South of Hermosa, I never surfed the Tulin rivermouth after hearing about crocs in that lineup.




The good ol' Tamarindo Diarrhea -- brings back memories!

Added to the list of why to avoid Tamarindo the last 15+ years, unless in the area and need to hit a major grocery store.

First and only time I've seen one of these dinosaurs in the lineup was at Ollie's on one of our trips last year... massive spikes on his tail, but fortunately not hungry that day since nobody stopped surfing even after we knew he was hanging out.

you are right

 

but still a goof ball 

You're right. I saw the original pics on Stab a few days ago. Then yesterday they updated that new video. My bad. I have no problem admitting when I'm wrong- so sorry for the gaff. Saying something mean spirited to someone who said something mean spirited makes me no better than you. I think all this political stuff is screwing my brain up.

Lol. Ok I will give you guys a pass because I know basically no one reads a WW post anyway.
You kids are so sensitive these days.. Sheez..

I couldn't get the vid in ww's original link to play, so I appreciate the update. Best wishes to that victim -- any update on his condition?

I ain't watching it.

I still picture the Jaws poster when I'm sitting alone on the outside on a big choppy day. I sure as sht don't need to add croc attacks to the mental image.

-------------------------
I was right.

Haha.. I stand corrected.. I didn't see the ww video (I do read your posts ww)

Looks like the croc did a death roll with his foot a twisted.

I've been all over CR. But never further north than the Mal Pais area. Figgered it that would be like coming to the US for a surf trip and going to Va Beach. Everywhere has crocs. Driving S from Jaco to Dominical were signs under the small "bridges" saying no banarse, with a silhouettem of a croc. theres a place called Guacalillio between Jaco and Puntarenas near Boca Barranca. It's at a river mouth and one jumps of a cliff to get out. A croc came out of a dry river and came out to get fish from nets.
I asked a local if he saw it. He said yeah, he lives here.
