“Damn,” says a
Canadian who’s been
hanging around the shop for the past couple of
weeks, since she learned how to surf, “that’s one
lucky girl.”
A luckier girl is indeed hard to imagine
after taking a Carton board – this one an
orange and blue “retro fun board” – into the warm
water just down the road. The lightness and
flexibility are surprising; it has the stability of
a long board, but without the lumbering heaviness.
Its nose eases to the right or left with barely a
flexing of the toes.
This isn’t your typical dinged-up, waterlogged
rental.
 “You
should be wild with that one,” advises Carton from
where he bobs nearby on his surfboard.
A new set of waves rolls in, and the first one
breaks on the rocks that jut out in the distance. By
the time it arrives in full strength, it has
gathered to a height of eight feet, unusual for the
Jaco area. Surfers everywhere
do the “turtle” – rolling over beneath
their boards until the force passes.
When the suds disperse, Carton adds,
“Chiquilla, it’s best to just have fun.”

Airlines charge
up to $125 each way (to check your board bag) and
they often handle them poorly. You don't need to
bring a board, we will hook you up!.
We have 6.2" retro fish, 6.4 Thrusters, 8.6
fun-styles, 9.0 classic and more. We got them all.

beginner here at Costa Rica Surfboard rentals we have
a huge selection of longboards. These surfboards
have good flotation stability
and are very easy to handle. Longboards are for
small and medium
size waves. Longboards are between 8.5 to 10 ft
long.
Carton Surfboards is a Company created in 1986, but
we really started to make boards long time ago.
Every board is 100% hand made, with 100% love, and
this is good for your happiness. |

One of the
benefits of Jaco being a surf City is there are
a few surf shops and places for ding repair and
rentals. Easy access from the highway at the south
end of Jaco, and darn good shop is Carton
Surfboards.
The proprietor, a young Tico surfer/shaper named
Edwin "CARTON" Villalobos, is a great,
hardworking guy who will really take care of you.
Carton's Surf Shop is fully
stocked with supplies, accessories and new and used
boards. Pura Vida Carton! from The surfer's guide to
Costa Rica |
