Being from Florida, I have encountered countless sharks, and even Gators. But nothing scared me as much as that beast.







I also read the poor guy lost his leg."

If my friends both caught waves and I was left outside alone waiting for a set those floating logs started to look very suspicious. When we got back to my tico friend's parents house his father started screaming at him ""por qué los llevaste a Tivives, sabes que un coco se comió a un ****** la semana pasada en ese mismo lugar!!!"""

100069,2798,Tamarindo,8,pintail,"Jul 26, 2016",2016-07-25T20:42:23-0400,"A buddy of mine was surfing there and got pulled off  his board by a croc.  He thrashed around and somehow got loose with just a ragged wound.  He had it sutured there, got infected, went back to the US and had it properly treated.  Now he's got an interesting scar and story.  The locals who know him still call him ""El Crocadilio""."

John,  GW's don't bother me.  Crocs do.  Spent some time in Manuel Antonio seeing these critters in an area I wanted to paddle out to.  No way.  Then in the air south of Dominical seeing those damn crocs in shore and sharks offshore with a few hardy surfers sandwiched in between .  The pilot, an old SD surfer looked at me and said,  yea really want me to land ya down there!"

Be warned, this link has some gruesome photos.

99981,2798,Tamarindo,2,bing_nose,"Jul 25, 2016",2016-07-25T06:08:00-0400,"yikes - I remember paddling across a couple rivers in Tamarindo with my feet as far in the air as possible. In the book ""Surfer's Guide to Costa Rica"" they are very upfront about the possibility of crocs in the lineups around rivermouths. Hope this guy is alright."
