Two cool upcoming surf events in the month of November. The first is the 2009 Pura Vida No Pro which is going to be held November 21st at the Pelican Hotel in Esterillos Este. The Pura Vida No Pro began in 2002 when a group of surfers came together to introduce the sport of surfing to a group of kids from the Hosipico de Huerfanos orphanage in San Jose, Costa Rica. Since then the event has turned into an annual gathering of kids, locals and travelling surfers.
