NSP Surfboards Launches a New Era of Shapes and Sustainable Boards!
First introduced back in 2001, NSP was an overnight success and has help revolutionize the epoxy surfboard industry. A solid 17 years later, NSP is still a formidable name in recreational surfing, well founded in its original roots of superior performance, durability and competitive prices.
2018 signals the start of a new era. Working closely with key partners and a couple of Australia’s most respected designers and shapers, NSP’s surfboard shapes have been completely overhauled.  

NSP’s most popular range continues to be the Elements HDT (High Definition Technology) collection. Built using new high definition manufacturing technologies, there are 20 different boards to choose from, with new graphics and fin box configurations.

NSP Elements HDT boards are built using secure Cell EPS, bio resins and feature the Sustainable Surf Project logo. The Elements HDT Funboards, Fish and Hybrids feature 5 fin boxes, allowing riders to tune their board to suit the conditions and their style.  

The longboards offer versatile performance, will catch more waves and are great for swooping bottom turns, high trim lines and knee drop cut backs.

The funboards feature concave bottoms, semi rounded noses and a low entry rocker delivering a perfect package for the weekend warrior. Our Modern fish designs deliver traction, down the line speed and maximum drive that unleashes potential from every wave and keeps even the most advanced surfers coming back for more. Our Hybrid design is our quiver killer, ideal for intermediate to advanced surfers seeking one of the most versatile and user friendly short boards on the market.

NSP continues to push the boundaries and challenge the status quo, since 2001. NSP is the New Surf Project, get ready or 2018!

Jaco was real fun this evening if a little fat and mushy , clean light winds and so many people on the beach ! Friday should also be quite fun with the afternoon high tide , I heard from a friend that corners was real fun this am as well ! Well this is a nice end to our general high season , sales have been really good these last few days but as you know at the beginning of green season we always do store wide discount so keep your eyes on CR SURF ! Thanks Chuck and the CREW AT WOW SURF ! Happy Surfing !

Bigger today for sure , looks like a wsw direction and Ill bet the Islands going to break at low tide this afternoon , Esterillos Oeste in the morning is the call as well ! Hermosa is going to be suck up hard hitting barrel if you want any of those and there are those that get just that ! Weather is beautiful , light clouds showing up the last couple of days and the cicadas are going crazy calling for rain ! Could we be getting close to some rains already ? Even the Cortez Trees haven’t flowered yet but the Cicadas are truly going crazy and that’s confusing this old school CR traveler for sure . One says too early and the other says just around the corner ! Lets see what happens , come by the shop for some first class treatment and a free surf map after all we are still here because of you ! Pura Vida , A Friend in Costa Rica ! Free hat to the first traveler who knows where that came from and sends me an email telling me the answer !

3/5 ft faces and a bit bumpy in the afternoon , ist a nice long swell , lines are looking Esterillos Oeste to me , let me know if you surfed there today ! Shop has been pretty decent as of late , I guess having some of the best surf boards in the country helps and you know for the real deal were not too pricey ! New pads by ProLite and DaKine are pretty bitchin too ! A bit of skate additions in the shop if you want to drop into the mini bowl at the Civic Center , we have pads ,helmets and parts along with some decent complete skateboards too ! We are not Arenas but that’s the point I think we are not Arenas were still just [hahaha] WOW SURF ! Thanks for your visit and hope you enjoyed Jungle Jam ! I did ! Pura Vida from the CREW and I !

 Beautiful day here in Jaco , sunny with a light breeze and high tide in the afternoon at sunset so that evening session could be great . Its not very big some chest high sets I figure but condition are clean a nice !

I bet Hermosa is going to be on fire!

First ever WSL event in CR is on today ! Conditions are really good for that event , Diego is working real hard with his team on this so stop by Esterillos Este and see the action ! For just 1 week{ Fri 7 thru Thursday 13} I will give a free WOW SURF t-shirt to anyone who comes by the shop and makes a 20$ minimum purchase but you have to say I SAW THIS ON CR SURF !

Looking pretty solid out here today , 2 directions and if you choose well you can get a bomb ! Some 5-7 ft faces not perfect but way surfable ! Winds are really variable with the feeder bands passing thru so you gotta be on it ! No crowds to speak of they are heading to Este for the WSL event this week ! Be some talent in town for sure ! Best days of the year to buy a board from us great deals on great boards , an example is brand new US made SuperBrand only 500$ in cash !!!! And some other great deals too ! Come on in and see us at Chucks WOW SURF ! PURA VIDA and Happy Surfing !

Fun waves here in Jaco , some wind on it with the early afternoon high tide but fun none the less , Hermosa had some bombs come thru the last few days and I hear the Boca was good as well ! Hardly raining , just some afternoon stuff and you cant beat not having crowds either . Im doing a 20% off in the shop on everything but you have to mention you saw this here or on our facebook page . Great time to buy a new board for sure ! Best quality boards in the country ! See ya soon , Happy Surfing , Chuck and the CREW at WOW SURF !

Right out front was that 2’4 ft faces and super fats but really clean too ! I took out a Tom Carrol SUP I just got and had a blast ! I hear that the swell is going to pickup and abit more south which should give us a bit more of a shoulder to work with . I will probably start thinking about Oeste here in the next couple of days as the tide moves into midday and with a bit of push it could be fun , shortboard riders will want to check Tulin and Centro thru Bejuco area I figure . Not much special happening here , life and business as usual , Jaco has the art festival this weekend and should be pretty packed with people and good music and theres is a big parade Saturday evening with some 15 marching bands form all over CR invited to march thru town and add some action and fun to our nice town ! In other news I was invited to a meeting with the judicial department of CR as member of our growth and development community group and thye gave us some pretty nice news . Jaco or the county of Garabito is one of the very few counties in CR with a dropping crime statistic and an improving arrest and conviction rating . It took awhile{5 + years} and hard work and lots of police presence but along with community involvement we are actually becoming an even better place to live and visit . More infrastructure , better services and a safer community , hows that for success ! Anyways see ya soon right here in Jaco ! Pura Vida y saludos or greetings from Chuck and the crew here at WOW SURF !

It is a longer wait than expected for a slowly arriving South swell, leaving the weekend with chest to head high surf. The waves won’t pick up until Tuesday morning and then build a foot a day through Thursday when it peaks at 2 feet overhead on the sets Friday. It fades a foot for next weekend, but there’s more South and Southwest on the way!

New Website!

We are currently undergoing new and exciting improvements to the web site! Nothing should affect using the web site. Thanks for checking us out!

Bueno Barrilito was on fire yesterday

Bueno Barrilito was on fire yesterday p.m. overhead sets and barrels to be had along with some nice bowls , still crossed up and such but the peak was really good ! I even took one on the head that made it even more fun ! Jaco looked pretty good too a bit more dumpy but a couple of good ones out there.

Looks like more rain in the forecast for the coming days but the waters warm and the rain as well , surf should be very similar and you just have to check a few places and keep on eye on the wind .

Still running specials in the store if you need anything it’s a good time to buy right now . The new Cocomat NSPs are due in this week and you should see them, especially for the ECO minded surf school this is a great idea, reducing resin and fiberglass use by 30% and weight reduction by 15% and adding who knows how much thru the use of natural fibers from COCONUT HUSKS! Here’s a link to the technology which is only available here in Costa Rica thru PURE SURF DISTRIBUTION or your best local retailers – Coco-mat technology. You will be able to see the boards here and not even have to go to SURF EXPO in January. But if you also want to meet us there at the booth we will all be happy to show you the complete new Global Surf Industries line-up. PURA VIDA and Happy Surfing, Chuck and the CREW at WOW SURF!

Classic…

Man it was classic out front head-high powerful and clean with strong offshores [for jaco] peaks all over , probably had some of the best surf I’ve seen in Jaco for a while ! Hermosa was cleanish and fun in the morning as well .

Got them rainy season specials going right now and if you own a school or rental program I have some deals going right now on limited #s of NSPs and Surf Series so call us and get your order placed and SAVE some serious bucks before season is upon us ! Pura Vida and Happy Surfing , Chuck and the CREW at WOW SURF !

Man what a Week Of Waves !

Everything from huge gnarly beachbreak to some standout days at secret spots all over our area , Jaco was good this a.m. solid headhigh and peaky clean , hardly anyone out due to the Caldera highway is part closed due to landslides from the weeks heavy rains !Expect a really good week here with hightides a.m. and back or regular swell until later in the week. Off to Surf Expo , Global Surf Industries will have its first booth in years and if you are going to be in Orlando come by the booth , we will be unveiling 2 new world class shapers products and some great new technology in board production at the show and if you are a surfer/shop owner you need to see this ! Also we will have a man on hand to explain the importance of the 2 ISO certifications the 9002 for quality control and the 14001 for Environment management process, GSI has earned and how it will affect our Planet and our own ability to continue to thrive and ride !

Rains A Comin’

Still big enough for sure , some way overhead sets came thru Sunday afternoon , fair conditions a bit closed out but a good wave came thru as well . Looks like the rains are back the “chicharras” or Cicadas are going nuts this morning and that means rains are on the way , the old guys say we will get back in the full rains this week ,Surf is dropping a little and the tides are improving so it should stay fun all week!

Great Surf Report

Okay its another great wave report , beautiful 4-6 ft faces everywhere ! Clean low wind conditions and no rain to speak of , you should be here right now !!!!!Oh the old “canuk” guy Patrick got the barrel of the day at Barrilito yesterday and left the whole beach speechless , his sons were out there rippin’ with him too !They have the peak wired for sure!

Veranillo de San Juan (Great Weather)

Small but quite clean Jaco is 2-3 ft faces and Esterillos Oeste was a bit bigger and long lines today , beautiful sunshine and not too many people around considering its late July . Haven’t had any rain in 3 days , I do believe we have hit our Veranillo de San Juan and right on time . You might even get some great surf this week and with good winds in Guanacaste and yep I might think about the Caribe as well ? It happens sometimes and in the “old days” we used to spend a lot of time in Limon surfing Bonita and Portete this time of year ! Anyways go do some exploring and have some fun ! Happy Surfing ! Chuck and the CREW at WOW SURF !

WOW!

Luz de Vida announced their annual contest will be from July 15th to 17th in Santa Teresa.
That weekend will also be our 600th surf report (CR Surf Report) since we started in August 1998. (Thanks Chuck and Louis, who have been there from the start!)

One of biggest sales from wow. See why they say; “WOW, go to Chuck’s for, wow, what a sale.”

Your welcome and that’s kind of cool its Louis and I, (Louis, you and I need to get together and do the GURU thing someday soon! It’s been way too long!)

Anyways waves have been too big for our local beach breaks but today had Jaco really good in the afternoon , I imagine that Oeste was really good as well , its like head-high on sets a bit straight on but plenty of shoulders out there if you paddled hard and found the right position on sets !

Back to the slow month of May, business wise, but that means we have to do some really nice deals because its local boys and residents doing the shopping. So guess what its LETS MAKE A DEAL time at WOW SURF . Any new regular priced board and get a leash and board bag for FREE. How’s that for a nice local bro deal !!!! PURA VIDA and Happy Surfing!

Chuck and the CREW at WOW SURF !

Esterillos Oeste

HAH HAH , HAH HAH – you missed it you missed it ! Thanks MOM [ her name is Susan and shes the greatest Mom ever] you brought me some great waves on your day ! Esterillos Oeste at middle peak 3-5 ft faces and so clean and pretty , sure you had to work a little bit for your wave and paddle around a bit but it was so nice , no wind even at 10:30 when I left and only a couple of people out and no heavy sun just light overcast perfect surf conditions and its going to be better tomorrow ! Jaco I hear was fun early and a bit smaller but clean high tide rollers ! Want to surf let us know that’s what we do !!!!

Thanks and Happy Surfing Chuck and the CREW at WOW SURF !

Head High at Tumbas

Man what a great a.m. it was today , head high at TUMBAS and quite perfect , crowded yes and Alberto Munoz was the star today , he picked off every single best wave of every single set and destroyed them . Coming across the peak where everyone else was just trying to make the drop , yep he impressed me [can you tell] ! Anyways great tides and weather , not too crowded and surf will be small to fun everyday ! New Channel Islands just arrived . Semi-Pro , Cheesestik , Mach 9 , Black Flag , Remix , The Warp , you name it ! I think we got it pretty well covered ! Also all the accessories as well came in so you have to come by and see ! All for now , Happy Surfing ! Chuck and the CREW at WOW SURF !

NO TERRORISTS OR TIME BOMBS, JUST BOOMER WAVES

It’s for sure the rainy season now , crowds are light and the waves are super good here right now, peaky overhead condition prevail, sunshine at moments but partly cloudy the most of the time. The only people in the water are people that live here and that’s okay for a little while, but sure are going to miss you travelers soon! Come on down, airfare is cheap, no terrorist plots or kidnappings here, don’t buy sell or do drugs or pickup on hooker[s] and you’re going to be so stoked to be here surfing your brains out! You want to surf anyways ; so come surfing! Pura Vida, Chuck and the CREW at WOW SURF! !

Go guys go ! MARION ! Su Sueno bien realizado, me allegro un monton !

August 3rd Surf Report

Okay we are back to some solid head high and the occasional overhead set here in Jaco . Conditions are fair with a bit of closeouts but as the tide fills in it should get better , we had some gnarly rains last night but they are leaving now and the sun is out with side off shore winds and about 20 guys out now ! Come surfing ! Shop is doing really well , I guess the 25% OFF on the whole thing helps bring em in , even if they weren’t ready to get the new board how can you go wrong ! See whats in WOW SURF for you !!! New sandals better now than tomorrow or if your boardies are getting crusty maybe a change is due ! Thanks and Happy Surfing ! Chuck and the CREW at WOW SURF !

Clean Swell!

Super nice long consistent lines here in Jaco, not very big but lots of fun! This next coupe of days we should have some big swell coming from the south west and hopefully giving us even better surf then the last couple of days, the sandbars are now getting fixed due to rain so each day is a better day to surf!
