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.

That is horrifying. I made the walk across that river before as well. Never thought of any thing attacking other than a sting a-ray or something.

I surfed guacallillio. We called it crocky point. The crocs we saw were not in the lineup and some locals were surfing with us which was why we paddled out but it did feel like a dangerous needless addition to a surf spot.

Quacalillos: another super spooky spot. Did you ever catch it good. I was there it was head high and mushy and scary. I didnt stay out too long.. Lots of trash caught on the beach/cove. The tarcoles river mouth is not far away. Tarcoles, the crocodile bridge on the way to jaco

For me... after approx 30 surf trips to Costa, beginning 1986... and having surfed some notorious croc zones... consider myself fortunate to have not been attacked, and to have only had one stare down with a monster coming our from that jungle covered rivermouth at Tivives whle I was crossing after a fun sesh in front of the caves.

Prob just surf the better beach breaks there from now on.
... just saying

I camped at Tivives. Sweet break. I was always more concerned with Fer du Lances than crocs.

Balsa Bill and I scoped out Isla Damas, we were warned NOT to paddle that far out, especially on an outgoing tide because of the Crocs

I caught it good, but sooo dirty and sketchy. My buddy and I were the only two out and it was wrapping around the point perfectly. You couldn't see your hand in the water it was so dirty.
