I'm looking to spend March 17-25 over there - I'm gonna be linking up with a buddy that's staying there for a few weeks. A couple questions:
1.) any recommendations for a place with legit board rentals or surf shops? The board bag fees are almost as much as the ticket itself, so I'm not bringing boards. Don't wanna rent any pop out/tuflite boards either
2.) how are the surf conditions there around this time of the year? Is it fickle like PR this time of the year or is there usually consistent fun surf?
Thanks in advance for any tips and advice by the way!

There is a surf shop in Playa Negra that rents boards but not a big selection. You could check there first and see if they have something that suits you and if not go into Tamarindo and you should find something in one if the surf shops there. Never been in March so cant speak to the quality of surf then but if Negra is small go check Avellanas as there is usually something rideable there.

Negra was 1 ft and unrideable one day and my buddy took me to Marbella.

The rental selection at Hotel Playa Negra is pretty good, but you'll definitely find more options in Tamarindo. Try Kelly's Surf Shop or Banana Surf Club. That time of the year sees the first big southern hemisphere swells so you should be stoked to find good waves. I like it best there, two hours after low tide coming in towards high tide. Let me know if you want help with vehicle rentals, lodging, or surf tours.

GREG will hook you up. Negra will definitely hold minimal better and even onshores more than the other local spots. langostas for the down times between surfs.
