Learn to Surf in Central America

Did you know Outward Bound offers courses on how to surf?

surfMore than that, even. You can learn to kayak and raft on some of the world's most gorgeous rivers, you will learn Spanish in a beautiful Mexican village, and, if it's your fancy, you can learn to surf world class breaks.

The Outward Bound folks say theirs is a "holistic instructional approach" that gives a full breadth of  knowledge about surfing including study of lunar phases, wave formations, coastal ecology and traditional surf philosophies. The classes take you from Costa Rica to Nicaragua to Panama, beaches throughout Central America. There's also the opportunity to gain certifications in CPR & First Aid (American Red Cross), White Water Navigation and Training (CRROBS), and SCUBA diving (NAUI). What's it cost? Almost 7 grand. Scheisse, that's a lot.

But man, what a fricken dream course this would be.
