Fran,

Surf Life for Women was in publication from 2002-2006.  Due to lack of industry support (advertising, namely), it had to cease operations.  (At the same time, SLFW publisher Sunshine Mackarow, did co-author a book on Bethany Hamilton - Bethany Hamilton: Follow Your Dreams! (Defining Moments).

Many of us were sad to hear the news.  Here's the press release of SLFW closing:

Pura Vida Surf Adventures  
Our surf camps are situated in the scenic village of Malpais on the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica. Expansive beaches and a tropical rain forest surround Malpais, creating fascinating landscapes and stunning views. This region is also a haven for all levels of surfers. The main beaches, Playa Carmen and Santa Teresa, provide easy, fun waves in which to learn while the surrounding area has it all... point, reef and beach breaks.
 
 
Beachfront Accommodations  
Our beachfront accommodations are a real surfer's paradise located at our favorite surf break, Playa Carmen. Ocean view accommodations amidst tropical gardens flow onto an expansive white sand beach, combining the best natural elements Costa Rica has to offer. Hidden beneath the colorful foliage, you can enjoy a swim in our crystal blue pool, or simply lounge in a beachfront chaise or hammock while taking in the beauty of the warm sparkling waters and deep red sunsets. Just walk out your front door and be at the beach and surf in under a minute. The hotel's close proximity (walking distance) to a nearby vegetable and fruit stand, restaurants, shops and nightlife activities add convenience and more adventure to explore. 
 
Surf Instruction
We pride ourselves on the quality of our surf instruction and our surf camp is for all levels of surfers. For beginners, we will teach you proper surfing etiquette, water safety, wave riding skills, and paddling techniques. For the more advanced surfers, our instructors will fine-tune your skills, work with you to extend your ability, and be your guide to the different surf spots in the area. Depending on the swell conditions and your level of experience, our expert instructors will work with you to decide which break best fits your ability.
 
Our surf instructors are Pura Vida certified instructors. Each instructor is trained on our PVA methodology on how to make beginners  "surfers" and to achieve the more advanced surfer's goals. We have taught a wide range of surfers; ones who have never surfed before to surfers who have surfed almost everyday for 15 years. Our instructors are familiar with all the breaks in the area. They are certified in CPR and Life Saving. For bios on our surf instructors visit our website at www.puravidaadventu res.com/index. php/about/ our_team
 
Guest Review: "An amazing time, a magical place, and an adventure for the mind and soul. I couldn't have had a better vacation.

An absolute treat for the senses." Jen Hunt ~ NCWSC Member

Hi -

An unsavory character was selling a Taylor shortboard for $10 at Bart today.  The board looked well loved.  If you or someone you know had a lost/stolen Taylor shortboard, send me an email.  Please, include a description of the board, for $10 reimbursement it's yours.

Hi, ladies! I was stoked to read the recent posts recommending surf camps in
Costa Rica, because I'd love to take a surf-camp trip sometime in 2010. The only
thing is, I need to find a co-ed camp I can attend with my husband. The two
recommended by the listserv, Surf Divas and Pura Vida, look like they cater
primarily to women.

Any recommendations for a camp my husband and I can check out? We are both 30,
total novice surfers. Doesn't need to be in Costa Rica, but we're hoping for a
warm-water experience!

Mahalo!
Susie

Pura Vida is so awesome--I recommend them 100%....was there in Jan
2008 and they were the best.  My good friend went this summer with
her 4 friends and they all came back saying "best vacation EVER".  I
so want to go again--let us know what you decide and how it goes.

Have fun!
