Open the <a href=\"https:\/\/houseofsomos.com\/surfboard-shaping-glassing-santa-teresa-costa-rica\">quiver<\/a> and let people surf.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Guests, friends of the house, and anyone passing through had the chance to test a selection of <a href=\"https:\/\/lovemachinesurfboards.com\/\">Love Machine<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.resin8.surf\/\">Resin 8<\/a> boards, the same models available through our surfboard rentals or for purchase in our surf shop.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>No pressure, no schedule. Just boards rotating in and out of the water all morning, waves rolling in, and surfers getting a real feel for different shapes in familiar  <a href=\"https:\/\/houseofsomos.com\/surf-breaks-santa-teresa-costa-rica\">best Santa Teresa conditions.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Demo Days are our way of making the rental or buying\u00a0 experience more personal. Instead of guessing what board works for you , you can paddle out, try a few, and figure out what fits your surfing best.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you\u2019re looking for the best surfboard rental in Santa Teresa, this is part of what makes the difference. Our quiver isn\u2019t just on display, it\u2019s meant to be surfed.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>And if something clicks, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/wa.me\/5067069152\">rent it <\/a>for the week or <a href=\"http:\/\/wa.me\/5067069152\">take it home<\/a> straight from the surf shop.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>More Demo Days coming soon.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-container-2 wp-block-gallery-1 wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"3518\" height=\"4398\" data-id=\"2372\"  src=\"https:\/\/houseofsomos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Thibault-Maufras-x-Somos-894.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2372\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"4160\" height=\"5200\" data-id=\"2373\"  src=\"https:\/\/houseofsomos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Thibault-Maufras-x-Somos-888.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2373\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"4160\" height=\"5200\" data-id=\"2374\"  src=\"https:\/\/houseofsomos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Thibault-Maufras-x-Somos-905.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2374\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"4160\" height=\"5200\" data-id=\"2375\"  src=\"https:\/\/houseofsomos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Thibault-Maufras-x-Somos-902.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2375\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"4160\" height=\"5200\" data-id=\"2376\"  src=\"https:\/\/houseofsomos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Thibault-Maufras-x-Somos-892.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2376\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"4160\" height=\"5200\" data-id=\"2377\"  src=\"https:\/\/houseofsomos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Thibault-Maufras-x-Somos-901.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2377\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Opening the Quiver: Surfboard Demo Day in Santa Teresa On February 14th, we hosted our first Demo Day right at our backyard, La Lora Amarilla.&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.1 -
