Two years ago I did the Witch's Rock Surf Camp....last trip I did with my brother Benny before he passed.
If you treat the guides with respect you get to go to different places. My brother and I tipped the shite out of the boat guides and we got hooked up really well.
The guys on our trip from CA were absolute dicks and shite talked the guides....they got taken to beach breaks that were packed. We got remote point and cloud breaks that were empty.
Witch's rock is nuts....long @ss boat ride for sure but worth it. Paddling in from the water was insane, boat driver dropped anchor, told us to get out....we start paddling toward the beach and all of a sudden these sets start marching through....waves were large but mellow, so we surfed there for about three hours.
From there we motored over to Ollies...classic point wave, I got three amazing rights until we were chased out of the water by a freakin large grand cayman which live in the estuary. My brother wouldnt get out, last one in the water....he knew that was not the way he was going out I guess.
Motoring back, we got caught in a storm and the engine went out three times. I didnt think surfer's got seasick but a couple were hurling in the back of the boat.
Long story short, those two breaks are insane and very much worth the time and effort to get there.
I actually got great waves in Jaco too back in 97.
