<p>Fishing in gulf of Papagayo go from good to excellent around the year for a wide variety of species. The waters here are world famous for year around for sport fishing. While each year may be slightly different, the catch rate for all our game fish is fairly consistent all months of the year. There are no specific seasons here. However specific species are more prevalent during some periods, therefore, catch of every one specie depend on season as follow:</p>
<p>Sailfish: Caught throughout the year, with May through August normally the top season. They may begin to thin out in September and the slowest months are from late August through November.</p>
<p>Marlin: Caught every month of the year, with mid-November to early March exceptional, then slowing a bit from April into early June when it picks up again, peaking in August and September.</p>
<p>Dolphin(Mahi-Mahi) or Dorado: these colorful gamesters are most abundant from late May through October.</p>
<p>Tuna: Peak months are probably August through October, but when all else fails, there are always tuna, anytime of the year you want to look for them, and more often than not when you had just as soon avoid them to concentrate on billfish.</p>
<p>Wahoo: The first catches are about the time the rains start in May, peaking in July and August. Most are caught around the rocky points and islands, but you will pick one up occasionally fishing offshore.</p>
<p>Roosterfish: Available all year, but there are more caught in the Papagayo Bay area from November through March.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.offshoresavingsolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/pictureWhyOutsource.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-339 alignright" title="Small Business Outsourcing" src="http://www.offshoresavingsolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/pictureWhyOutsource.jpg" alt="Small Business Outsourcing" width="313" height="168" /></a>For the millions of amateur inventors, entrepreneurs, and <a href="http://www.offshoresavingsolutions.com" target="_blank">small business owners</a> looking to make it big in the <a href="http://www.offshoresavingsolutions.com" target="_blank">world economy</a>, there are a number of obstacles in their way. As soon as someone turns an idea into a business model, they face competition from a variety of sources. There are usually small businesses that pop up to provide a cheaper alternative to a business owner’s product. Corporations will also recognize the success of a small business and market a similar product with their considerable advertising money. As well, the online marketplace means that a small business owner faces an uphill battle for attention in their specific corner of the market.</p>
<p><span id="more-338"></span>The competition is only one aspect of how difficult it can be to turn a small business into a success. The odds are not in the favor of a small businessman, with most small businesses faltering within a few years of opening. The narrow margins of profit and the various financial obligations that a small business has make it difficult for an owner to feel comfortable with their financial situation for years on end. However, small business people should not let this information stop them from realizing their dream.</p>
<p>Successful small businesses have a number of factors working in their favor. The most important aspect of success early in a business’ life is the quality of product that is being produced. As well, the unique nature, the necessity, and the cost of a product can contribute to the success or failure of a small business. Small business owners who are successful often have a strong set of short, medium, and long term goals which push the company toward the top within their industry. Finally a business model that ensures financial stability, while producing a great product or products for years to come is the backbone of any successful business.</p>
<p>Perhaps the most overlooked aspect of small business is the recruitment of high quality professionals. These professionals can make or break a business, depending on their reliability, creativity, and commitment to the business. Small business owners should work with a recruiting agency in order to develop a strong set of personnel. Agencies can help owners target specific skill sets in their employees while saving them the expenses of excessive advertising and promotion. Small businesses can grow into big corporations or industry leaders through the use of creative recruiting methods and a commitment to excellence.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.articlecircle.com/business/communication/training/making-your-small-business-large-through-recruiting.html" target="_blank">Source</a></p>
<p>Recruitment or <a href="http://www.offshoresavingsolutions.com" target="_blank">outsourcing</a> specific <a href="http://www.offshoresavingsolutions.com" target="_blank">business functions</a> from conception will immediately show savings in your overhead costs.  New start up business have had to streamline their operation in order to <a href="http://www.offshoresavingsolutions.com" target="_blank">save money</a> on overhead costs which means they initially hired a larger staff, paid for larger office space to house the employees and spent more money on computers and office expenses.</p>
<p>If they would have outsourced from the beginning they could have extended their operating capital reserves more efficiently.  In today’s global economy there is really no reason to perform back office functions within your own facility, whether you are a start up small business or a large multimillion dollar company savings are savings and outsourcing back office processes is the simplest and easiest way to do save significantly on your overhead costs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.offshoresavingsolutions.com" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-324 alignright" title="expanding costa rica economy" src="http://www.offshoresavingsolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/economy_2g.jpg" alt="expanding costa rica economy" width="350" height="259" />Costa Rica</a> lies between Panama and Nicaragua and it is bordered by the Caribbean Sea to the east and the North Pacific Ocean to the west. It is comprised of 51,100 square kilometers and the territorial waters take up about 589 square kilometers. It is considered a conglomeration of a number of landforms. The location of the country in the isthmus of Central America makes it easier to access American markets, which have the same time zone as Central US and also has access to Europe and Asia via the Oceans.</p>
<p><span id="more-323"></span>The economy is based on agriculture. This includes the production and export of pineapples, bananas and coffee. The country’s exports from the free trade zones and tourism sectors led to significant developments in the growth rate of the GDP. Costa Rica is also a producer of cocoa, sugar, lumber, wood products and beef. In recent years, ecotourism, pharmaceuticals, financial outsourcing and software development have become major industries with significant contribution to the country’s GDP.</p>
<p>Lately, other industries like electronics, pharmaceuticals, eco-tourism, <a href="http://www.offshoresavingsolutions.com" target="_blank">financial outsourcing</a> and <a href="http://www.offshoresavingsolutions.com" target="_blank">software development</a> are now becoming major industries. There are a number of high tech companies which have sprung up in the area, including chip manufacturer Intel and Pharmacy companies like Procter &amp; Gamble and Glaxo Smith Kline. Costa Rica is also self reliant in energy needs, with exception of oils- and has the potential to be an electricity exporter, as it already exports to Central America.</p>
<p>The unit of currency of Costa Rica is the Colon (CRC). This currency trades at 500 to the US dollar and at around 600 to the Euro. A new system that is expected around 2007, will see the Colon currency float between two bands. The Central bank will be better positioned to handle inflation and discourage the use of the US greenback with the use of this system.</p>
<p>In March 1998, the country joined other Central American nations, and the Dominican Republic to establish a Trade and Investment Council with the United States. It has also clearly showed a willingness to join the <a href="http://www.offshoresavingsolutions.com" target="_blank">North American Free Trade Agreement</a> (<a href="http://www.offshoresavingsolutions.com" target="_blank">NAFTA</a>). Costa Rica is also a member of the Cairns Group, which is pursuing a policy of global agricultural trade liberalization in World Trade.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.articlecircle.com/culture-and-society/current-affairs/costa-rica-economy%3B-recovering-and-expanding.html">Source</a></p>
<p>Today the <a href="http://www.offshoresavingsolutions.com" target="_blank">telecommunications industry</a> is huge in Cost Rica and continues to boom.  Supplying jobs in the tens of thousands the Costa Rican workforce and wages have increased in these areas.  The education, experience, English level and knowledge of the North American culture make it difficult to find “cheap” labor costs.  You will pay much less than you would in the state for a comparable or higher quality of employee but for <a href="http://www.offshoresavingsolutions.com" target="_blank">offshore outsourcing</a> you will pay more.</p>
<p>The idea in today’s market is to compete, maximize your operating costs and ultimately increase your bottom line.  Outsourcing is a double edged sword and though you can save more in countries like India and the Philippines the quality may not allow you to compete in turn bringing your profitability down.</p>
<p>Costa Rica allows you to save money while at the same time maintaining your level of excellence in order to compete in your industry.  This is why so many companies in the US choose Costa Rica as there satellite head quarters because it’s a win, win across that board.</p>

Most financial organizations have started including Information Technology Outsourcing or <a href="http://www.offshoresavingsolutions.com" target="_blank">ITO</a> and <a href="http://www.offshoresavingsolutions.com" target="_blank">Business Process Outsourcing</a> or <a href="http://www.offshoresavingsolutions.com" target="_blank">BPO</a> in their core business strategies. Processing and administration of loans are two reasons why many companies choose to outsource.</p>
<p><strong>Saving Both Time And Money</strong></p>
<p><span id="more-317"></span>Other examples of bundled outsourcing are super markets and many retail stores that provide <a href="http://www.offshoresavingsolutions.com" target="_blank">financial services</a>, loan, mortgage, saving and <a href="http://www.offshoresavingsolutions.com" target="_blank">insurance services</a>. These services provide credit and risk strategies to customers. They ensure that the company moves ahead at a very fast pace and in a cost effective manner. Companies that choose to build their own platform and processing everything themselves, spend more time and money in the process. Bundled outsourcing helps the company to keep the staff to a minimum leaving the handling of loans and the legal process associated with them to professionals.</p>
<p><strong>Arrangements and Factors Affecting Bundled Outsourcing </strong></p>
<p>You should seriously consider making arrangements regarding bundled outsourcing. This kind of transaction requires the involvement of top executives of both business and information technology. These decisions require support from senior level management, so that the transactions may take place smoothly. Many of the top-level executives try to influence the process just to safeguard their own business interests and that is often the nature of business. Governance remains a major factor that affects the bundled outsourcing. The question here is whether the governance standards should be allowed to influence the decision of bundled outsourcing or should the bundled outsourcing be given the priority by making changes in the governance standards.</p>
<p><strong>People Are Coming Up With Innovative Ideas</strong></p>
<p>If you move ahead cautiously and have the ability to overcome the hurdles, then it is possible to gain major advantages by combining business process outsourcing and IT outsourcing. Some companies still have fears when they think about bundled outsourcing. However, the cutthroat competition in the businesses today has made outsourcing an important tool. Companies are devising innovative methods in this field. Some of the companies have outsourced both IT functions and selected business processes to service providers. They believe that this will help them in concentrating more on the core issues and adding values to the products.</p>
<p><strong>Importance Of Bundled Outsourcing To The Software Industry</strong></p>
<p>Bundled outsourcing is the foundation on which the software industry rests. In an industry as complex as the software industry, many facets of the manufacturing of products must be handled outside of the scope of one particular company. This results in a long line of different outsourcing relationships from conception to marketing and finally into the hands of the consumer.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.articlecircle.com/business/management/organizational/the-need-for-bundled-outsourcing-in-business-today.html" target="_blank">Source</a></p>
<p>In today’s <a href="http://www.offshoresavingsolutions.com" target="_blank">global economy</a> IT Outsourcing and BPO are standard operating procedures for most companies.  As a small to midsized business owner theses concepts are now becoming mainstream as well.  There are not too many individual business owners that have not heard of <a href="http://www.offshoresavingsolutions.com" target="_blank">the benefits of outsourcing</a> there non core<a href="http://www.offshoresavingsolutions.com" target="_blank"> business functions</a> to outsourcing providers.</p>
<p>Outsourcing solutions today can mean the difference between turning a profit and going out of business.  Small business owners cannot afford to risk going over budget on their operating costs within the first year and outsourcing there back office functions can save them thousands of dollars on overhead costs including more office space, equipment, office supplies, etc.</p>

<p>In Costa Rica one of the attractions that keeps tourists coming back is the Crocodile Whisperer Chito and his pet Crocodile Pocho that is 5 meters long.  They play in the water together as tourists gather around to watch.  Pocho is a full grown 17ft man eating crocodile and weighs 980 lbs.</p>
<p>Onlookers stare in amazement as Chito play wrestles and wades chest deep with his buddy Pocho. Chito say that Pocho is his best friend and though he knows that this is a very dangerous routine when he looks Pocho in the eyes he knows that he won’t attack.  It is too dangerous for anyone else to get in the water so it always only Chito and Pocho in the water.</p>
<p><span id="more-304"></span>Chito adopted Pocho after finding him with a gunshot wound on the banks of the River Parismina 20 years ago. He had been shot in the left eye by a cattle farmer and was close to death. Chito loaded the massive reptile into his boat with the help of several friends.</p>
<p>He was dieing and very skinny, weighing only 150lb Chito fed him chicken and fish and medicine for six months to help him heal. Chito slept next to Pocho every night while he was ill, he wanted him to feel loved and let him know that not all humans are bad.  It took years before Chito felt that Pocho had bonded with him enough to get closer to him.</p>
<p>After 10 years of caring for him Chito began to work with the animal. It was a slow process over time playing a bit at first until one day Chito called his name and he came to him. At one point Chito left Pocho in a lake near his house and as he turned to walk away, to his amazement Pocho got out of the water and began to follow him home.</p>
<p>Chito was now convinced that the crocodile could be tame and fearlessly began wading in the water with the giant reptile but his family was so worried that Pocho would at some point attack that Chito began splashing around with Pocho when the rest of the family was asleep.</p>
<p>Four years ago Chito showed some of his tricks to friends, including getting Pocho to close his eyes on command, and they convinced him to go public with a show.  Chito now swims and plays with Pocho as well as feeds him at the lake near his home in the town of Sarapiqui.</p>
<p>Chit and Pocho are a major tourist attraction, with several tour operators, taking visitors on touring cruises to see the pair.  Chito, whose real name is Gilberto Shedden, was given his nickname by friends, who also call him “Tarzan Tico” – Tico being a familiar word for a Costa Rican. And he certainly plays up to the name, wearing a tattered pair of leopard-print shorts for his half-hour performances with Pocho.</p>
<p>The next time you are in Costa Rica and decide to check out the attractions make sure to make time to see Chito and Pocho it’s one show you don’t want to miss.  Costa Rica is a beautiful country with wonderful places to visit.  Whether you are planning to just visit or eventually move to Costa Rica and take advantage of all the wonderful business opportunities available, it’s nice to know that you will have plenty to do while you decide.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_300" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.offshoresavingsolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Cima-Hospital-01.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-300" title="Cima-Hospital-01" src="http://www.offshoresavingsolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Cima-Hospital-01.jpg" alt="CIMA Medical Center" width="300" height="186" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">CIMA Medical Center</p></div>
<p>It&#8217;s been more than 65 years since this small country of 4.6 million people introduced a public health care system. Spending $6,000 less per capita than the United States on health today, Costa Rica boasts a longer life expectancy and an infant mortality rate nearly equal to that of the U.S.</p>
<p>With a reputation for high quality and low prices, the country has even fashioned an industry out of health care, attracting hundreds of visitors each year who take advantage of medical tourism.</p>
<p><span id="more-299"></span>“What we don&#8217;t understand is how we are able to work with this,” said Rosa Climent, medical director of the Costa Rican Social Security System, pointing to a chart that shows employers pay 9.25 percent and workers pay 5.50 percent of their salaries into the system, which covers “all our health needs. And how the U.S. pays so much more and doesn&#8217;t cover its citizens.”</p>
<p>Not only do Costa Ricans have an 86.8 percent coverage rate, but the public health system ser ves residents who live miles from cities.</p>
<p>“How does a small country with a medium investment like ours achieve full cover age for all of its citizens?” asked Climent. “It&#8217;s a big accomplishment.”</p>
<p>Like any institution, the Social Security System in Costa Rica (the Caja) has its faults – long wait times and bureaucratic hurdles – but most Costa Ricans agree that their North American neighbor can learn something from the system that serves their country.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.ticotimes.net/topstoryarchive/2009_08/082109.htm" target="_blank">By Chrissie Long</a></strong></p>
<p>Delving into the health care system in <a href="http://www.offshoresavingsolutions.com" target="_blank">Costa Rica</a> you have to wonder where all the money goes in the US for <a href="http://www.offshoresavingsolutions.com" target="_blank">Health Care</a>.  One of the richest most powerful countries in the world yet this is an issue that has been on the political agenda for decades with no real resolve.  It’s no wonder so many <a href="http://www.offshoresavingsolutions.com" target="_blank">American’s</a> are finding yet another reason to move to Costa Rica.</p>
<p>One of the most technologically advanced countries in medical practice, specialists and breakthrough medicine is here in Costa Rica.  Nothing is perfect and for Hospital’s like <a href="http://www.offshoresavingsolutions.com" target="_blank">CIMA Medical Center</a> this a private hospital and most patients will pay directly out of pocket for this care but compared to US price the cost is but a small fraction of what hospital’s would charge you in the states.</p>
<p>For the average Costa Rica citizen using the <a href="http://www.offshoresavingsolutions.com" target="_blank">Caja</a> the wait time is longer but none the less they are being cared for and living longer in Costa Rica based on the current medical structure provided by the <a href="http://www.offshoresavingsolutions.com" target="_blank">Costa Rican government</a>.  As you consider your own options for affordable health care and are considering <a href="http://www.offshoresavingsolutions.com" target="_blank">doing business abroad </a>Costa Rica continues to give you reasons to make the move.</p>
<p>Many of the large <a href="http://www.offshoresavingsolutions.com" target="_blank">multi-national companies </a>based out of the US are setting up shop in Costa Rica and taking advantages of all the many benefits including national health care system for there employees.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.offshoresavingsolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/server-room1.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-291 alignright" title="IT Solutions" src="http://www.offshoresavingsolutions.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/server-room1.jpg" alt="IT Solutions" width="320" height="240" /></a></p>
<p>New research commissioned by Savvis shows that infrastructure outsourcing and cloud computing efforts are being taken very seriously by CIOs. IT leaders appear to be more oriented to reduction in infrastructure spending, where other industries such as media and retail, focus on staff reductions.</p>
<p><strong>67 percent</strong> of all IT leaders are under pressure to do more with reduced budgets. (I would have expected an even higher percentage.)</p>
<p><strong>52 percent</strong> of IT executives noted that the greatest cost savings will emanate from reducing infrastructure costs, reducing staff levels (49 percent) and a virtualization strategy (44 percent)</p>
<p><strong><span id="more-289"></span>72 percent </strong>of IT executives believe cloud computing will play an important role in the future of IT in helping companies gain efficiencies and reduce cost.</p>
<p>One immediate way IT execs could save money on infrastructure costs would be through the use of open-source alternatives, but the research questions were geared toward outsourcing and not software alternatives. Interestingly, financial services respondents reported that virtualization would provide their biggest cost savings.</p>
<p><strong>Top cost savings in 2009 by industry: </strong></p>
<p>Financial services&#8211;virtualization strategy<br />
Media&#8211;reducing staff levels<br />
Health care&#8211;reducing infrastructure costs &amp; standardizing IT infrastructure solutions<br />
Business &amp; Professional services&#8211;standardizing IT infrastructure solutions<br />
Retail&#8211;reducing staff levels<br />
Manufacturing&#8211;reducing infrastructure costs<br />
Public sector&#8211;infrastructure consolidation</p>
<p>When asked &#8220;where do you see your cost savings or efficiencies coming from in 2009?&#8221; it&#8217;s clear that IT leaders are looking holistically across all areas, as opposed to any one specific place for cost reduction:</p>
<p>Core server(s) support, 21 percent<br />
Data centre infrastructure, 16 percent<br />
Storage and back-up support, 15 percent<br />
Desktop support, 14 percent<br />
Network support, 14 percent<br />
Non-application software, 12 percent<br />
(Note: the above is based on a total of 100 percent)</p>
<p>Asked where cost savings or efficiencies will come from in 2009, about half of the respondents will reduce both infrastructure and staff. Only 2 percent reported that they weren&#8217;t being asked to reduce costs.</p>
<p>Reducing infrastructure costs, 52 percent<br />
Staff levels, 49 percent<br />
A virtualization strategy, 44 percent<br />
Infrastructure consolidation, 42 percent<br />
Standardising our IT infrastructure solutions, 38 percent<br />
Nowhere, we&#8217;re not being asked to cut costs, 2 percent</p>
<p><a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-13846_3-10235742-62.html?tag=mncol" target="_blank">By Dave Rosenberg</a></p>
<p>Today it seems that no matter what your business model is <a href="http://www.offshoresavingsolutions.com" target="_blank">outsourcing</a> <a href="http://www.offshoresavingsolutions.com" target="_blank">business processes</a> and functions is the key to saving time and money.  So much money is spent on servers, computers, server rooms, rent, electricity, etc. Not to mention the man power required to manage and maintain these functions.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.offshoresavingsolutions.com" target="_blank">Global technological</a> advancements have made it possible for companies all over the world to outsource there business processes efficiently and significantly more cost effectively in another country.  One such country would be Costa Rica which one of the most advanced telecommunications infrastructures in the world.</p>

<p>For years Costa Rica has proven itself to be one of the prime tourist destinations all over the world. The country is considered a paradise for foreigners, with great abundance in wildlife and nature treasures that made Costa Rica an excellent place for adventure. While more and more visitors flock the country because of its stunning landscapes and scenery, many are unaware that <a href="http://www.offshoresavingsolutions.com" target="_blank">Costa Rica</a> is also a great place for medical tourism. In fact, a 1991 survey conducted by the University of Costa Rica found that 14.25% of all the visitors to Costa Rica come to undergo <span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; color: #009900; position: static;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; position: relative;">medical </span><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; position: relative;">care</span></span></span> mostly in the form of <span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; color: #009900; position: static;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; position: relative;">dental </span><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; position: relative;">surgery</span></span></span> and <a href="http://www.offshoresavingsolutions.com" target="_blank">cosmetic surgery</a>.</p>
<p><span id="more-281"></span><a href="http://www.offshoresavingsolutions.com" target="_blank">Dental procedures</a> in Costa Rica is very popular for US patients as well as to other continental patients that want to acquire affordable cosmetic dentistry. Dentist in Costa Rica are fully trained and certified by a national medical association and are all experienced in the latest and most effective cosmetic surgery and non-surgical techniques essential for the patients medical treatment. Patients planning to undergo affordable cosmetic dentistry or other <span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; color: #009900; position: static;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; position: relative;">dental </span><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; position: relative;">procedures</span></span></span> in Costa Rica must investigate and consult the Costa Rica Plastic Surgery Board to ensure the credibility of dentist in Costa Rica that will perform their medical treatments. The association maintains listings of credentialed physicians and can verify whether a particular doctor is presently certified or is completing training in preparation for certification.</p>
<p>A likely scenario for medical tourist is to fly down to Costa Rica and stay in the country at least one week to undergo their surgery, recovery and vacation. Usually, patients stay in the country for 7-10 days, enough time to for recuperation while enjoying leisure and relaxing trips. Many times the first days are spent sightseeing, followed by the planned affordable dentistry in Costa Rica and then some more sightseeing during the convalescent period. Affordable dentistry in Costa Rica can save patients of more than 50% of the original cost if taken in the U.S. Dental implants cost in the U.S. is around $3,000 while in Costa Rica, the same procedure with same outcome runs about $750. Medical tourism providers like GoSculptura, offers packages for affordable <span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; color: #009900; position: static;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; position: relative;">dental </span><span style="font-weight: 400; font-size: 12px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; position: relative;">implants</span></span></span>, cheap plastic surgery, gastric surgery and fertility treatments with included hotel accommodation, personalized assistant, complimentary consultation, medicines, nursing care and the surgery itself. These agencies are prominent all over the U.S. and steadily increasing in number. The services they offer are perfect for patients seeking for affordable dental implants as well as other medical procedures which they can’t afford in clinics in the U.S. With rock bottom dental implants cost, Costa Rica is fast becoming a sanctuary for low cost, high quality medical care.</p>

<p>August 5th of this year featured the Billabong International Surfing Association (ISA) World Surfing Games Costa Rica 2009.  The competition was held in <a href="http://www.offshoresavingsolutions.com" target="_blank">Playa Hermosa</a>, because it has one of the most consistent and desired beach breaks on the Pacific Coast where deep water off the coast and exposure to different swells have built up a variety of sand bars.</p>

It was the first time that the Americans have won an overall gold medal since the 1996 World Surfing Games in Huntington Beach, California.  If you are a fierce surfer then this is not news to you, you’ve already heard of Costa Rica surfing, it shreds.  For those of you who are novice to the sport it may be time to start planning your trip to Costa Rica below is the best times to surf Costa Rica.</p>
<p><strong>The Seasons</strong></p>
<p>Costa Rica does not really know all 4 seasons. During the summer months (mid December to April is known as summer in Costa Rica), temperatures are extremely hot and the chance of rain is very unlikely. However, crowds during these months can get pretty fierce, especially over Christmas, New Year&#8217;s and Easter Week. This is Costa Rica&#8217;s high season and therefore, hotel and car rental prices will be higher during this time of year than the rest of the year. The best surfing from December to April can be found anywhere along the northern peninsula (Nicoya) or on the Caribbean.</p>
<p><strong>The Rainy Season</strong></p>
<p>The rainy season technically starts in May and lasts until the end of November. However, during the months of May, June, July &amp; August, temperatures are still hot and the heavy rains have yet to fall. Common weather at this time is sunny skies with late afternoon or early morning rain showers. The real rains truly begin in September and last until the end of November. The biggest advantage of traveling during these months are lower prices (this is the low season) and much fewer crowds.</p>
