Rent a board!
There are tons of awesome pox & fiberglass boards for rent as little as $40 a week and most are brand new. Mal Pais was loaded with shops with boards for rent from mostly American ex-pats. Also, I would seriously consider fishing freshwater in Costa Rica. I hit Lake Arenal on my Honeymoon 6 years ago and nailed a dozen Rainbow Bass (Guapote) on a variety of baitfish patterns with fish ranging from 4-8 lbs. It was a blast and they are damn good eating too. Not to mention I hit Upper Stretch of Rio Toro for transplanted Rainbows (Yes..there are Trout in Central America if you can believe it!). Tamarindo is awesome but bugs are a plenty there.
No beast so fierce but knows some touch of pity
But I know none, and therefore am no beast
