Writer Bonnie Tsui reports on her recent trip to Nosara in the “Next Stop” column of the New York Times‘s Travel section. The article mostly focuses on the surf schools, and her experiences:
During a week in Nosara surfing with Mr. Hill and his crew, I became a bit of a surf nerd, learning the finer points of angled takeoffs and riding the rails of my surfboard more effectively, and sat in on theory classes on meteorology and how to judge a surf contest. Thanks to twice-daily surf sessions that were followed by video feedback, I could watch myself ride a double-overhead bomb of a wave to its finish, and analyze what I had done right to make it possible. (I also saw, in painful slow motion, the spectacular wipeouts that came along with attempting such waves.)
