Surfing the Distance – Robby Naish Surfs Pavones, Costa Rica


The most frequent question asked by guests at the hotel is… “how long can you ride a wave here?”


Surfer Robby Naish and a Redbull film crew were guests at La Ponderosa in May of 2011. They used a GPS to measure the wave and produced this video of one ride. They show a map of the ride at the end of the video. This one ride lasts two minutes and fifteen seconds. The distance is over one kilometer.
