Funboard boards from Ocean Magic are good fun and easy to ride. They’re great boards for guys and girls who want to come down off a longboard and get into some shortboard manoeuvres. They’re also ideal for the intermediate surfer who wants to progress. Generally a lot wider, with thicker, soft rails for easy paddling and surfing.

PLEASE NOTE these are custom surfboards and take approximately 21 days from the order being placed.

This the story of Pete on his Costa Rica tour for some surf, but in his blog he describes a total different story: waiting for a bus in Jaco, he leaves his bags with his buddy:

“It is scorching hot and I am sweating buckets so I decide to cross the road to the supermarket to buy water. I tell jb and leave the bags with him, as I am about to leave a local lady knocks my boardbag over, she apologises and I put it back in place. As I cross the road I see her talking to jb, it seems she needs some help, I chuckle to myself as I know jb’s grasp of Spanish is a about as useful as a chocolate teapot. Something should have clicked in my head then, the signs were there but I had perhaps let my guard down being in a familiar place. That was the first time I had let my small day bag be in public and out of my grasp since arriving in Costa Rica, it contained my passport and RTW ticket, my Ipod and digi camera and other stuff less valuable but still important for my trip. I never saw it again…”

This happens every day - so take care and never leave your bags anywhere!
