Bill Johnson Surfboards in Costa Rica : The Lab Surf Company

This Christmas I wanted to get something special for Kristina. She had wanted a new surf board for quite some time. Specifically a Bill Johnson Stealth Quad. Yeah not the easiest surf board to come by down here.

After asking around I was told that The Lab Surf Company right outside of Huacas could help me out.

The guy who runs it is a super nice Venezuelan, by the name of Eduardo Rojos. Eduardo, pictured below has been down here 5 years selling a variety of boards, mostly Bill Johnson’s and Byrne’s. He also works with a few local shapers that can make any model you desire for much less than what you pay for a name brand.

When I first met Eduardo he had just the board Kristina wanted unfortunately, I wasn’t sure on whether or not I was going to buy it. That delay threw a wrench in my plans. During that 2 day window Eduardo sold that board along with a number of other boards to a guy who was opening a shop in Tamarindo.

After some back and forth Eduardo found the same board in Jaco (10 hours round trip from Tamarindo). He offered to drive down and get the board for me. Super cool of him. I couldn’t thank him enough for doing it. After I bought the board I pulled some Tom Foolery on Kristina and suprised her with her new ride. She was super stoked.

If you want a deal tell him Patrick from Langosta sent you. His contact info is
