Rental Boards
November 6, 2008, 11:12 pmAs of recently one item of surfing equipment is accepted as baggage for $175 (for travel within the United States, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico) and $300 (for travel outside the United States, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico).
I called the Delta customer service rep to ask if that was a typo (mistake) and she said no. So, “Two boards would be $1,200 round trip?” I asked. She answered “Yes, that is correct.”
Here’s a petition going around:
Fight Airline Surfboard Charges Sick of paying airline surcharges for your board? Join the Surfboard Airline Petition http://www.surfers-against-airline-fees.com/ to speak out against airline carriers that have banned surfboards.
In the mean time I have expanded my rental inventory by purchasing 28 epoxy surfboards from Global Surf Industries. They range from 6’0 to 8’7”. These boards are designed for performance as well as durability.

Lock in 2008 Rates for 2009
October 14, 2008, 2:33 pm
Lock in 2008 Rates for 2009 covered up Prices for Morro Negrito Surf Camp will increase in 2008. The old price has been $650 per week and the new price will be $700. The reason for the new price is because of the increase in fuel costs and other commodities that have steadily increased over the past two years. The camp has also been in a steady state of improvement during this time period. Improvements have been in the area of another honeymoon suit, new wood decking, new tiled floors, new boat, new motors, new rental surfboards, improved port facilities. However, if you would like to lock in the old rate from 2008, then you will need to make a reservation and pay the deposit by December 31st, 2008. Contact me by filling out the contact form and I will be happy to reserve a week for next year for you at the 2008 price.Good Surfing, www.surferparadise.com

Email received from pro surf photographer Phil Perez

Well guys,
I have to tell you I was a bit apprehensive and skeptical coming to Panama for good surf, but I’m so glad I did because this place ROCKS! I’ve only been here a few days, but have added the best photos that I’ve taken yet to my portfolio. Go to www.fotophilippe.com to see more of this place. And, yeah, I caught my fair share of these bombs - check my personal photo section to see for yourself! I’m in the process of adding photos with a slow, third world internet connection, so be patient - they’re on their way.
This place is so beautiful, and the place I’m staying is something else. This guy Steve built a very well-designed eco-friendly surf camp on an island (population: 50) that has a variety pack of fun waves, with a nearby offshore island (population: 3) that has the bombing reef breaks in the attached photos. These offshore breaks are heavy-duty, deepwater reefs with some areas of dry-reef that need to be carefully negotiated. The co-ed staff are all surfers and everyone is having the time of their lives out here. The vibe is so cool, and everyone is surfed out and in a good mood all day.
Check the photos and book your tickets. By the way, round trip is a whopping $209 from Fort Lauderdale, which is a little more affordable than the $700 El Salvador ticket, which is closer - go figure!
Cheers,
Phil
