Surfing "Snow-Vember" in Playa Hermosa, Costa Rica

Snow.. rain.. ice.. if you're a hardcore Northeast surfer like me, that means 5mm wetsuite, booties, gloves, and some serious ice cream headaches. OR, you could spend $570 for a round-trip ticket (try flights from JFK Airport to Costa Rica, direct), book a room for 3 nights at Marea Brava Beachfront Hotel, and surf in sunny Playa Hermosa, where the mornings are glassy and the swell is always pumping.

This Snow-Vember, buy 2 nights and get one FREE, at Marea Brava hotel, located in Playa Hermosa, Costa Rica, right on the beach.
