Al Chile

"Al Chile" is Costa Rican slang that means something like "for real," and that pretty much sums up the philosophy of this laid-back surf shop that also offers a surf school and a surf camp, all helmed by an experienced surfer who loves the sport and enjoys sharing his expertise with others, really and truly. Al Chile offers a good selection of boards to rent from short to long and for beginners and pros, plus new boards for sale from brands like Carton, Honeycutt, and Aloha as well as new and second-hand boards for sale, and all kinds of surf accessories.
