Viva Valllarta Resort - Puerto Vallarta

Hey, my family is going to the Viva Vallarta Resort near Punta de Mita in January. We are taking shortboards , but I was wondering if anyone knows if there would be a surf shop nearby that might rent longboards. The resort is about a half hour from Puerto Vallarta. The hotel does have about a dozen boards there to use , but if we travel at all we can't take them with us. In Costa Rica last year we rented longboards for $20.00 a day and that was cheaper then if we had flown there with them and sooooo much easier. That's what I'm hoping to find again. Any help would be greatly appreciated , plus feedback on the resort would be cool if you have ever been there. Thanks, Doreen

I was there last March. Surfed at Punta Mita and Punta Burro. The surf was just so-so.

We stayed at the dumpy hotel on the beach. It was cheap and not very clean. I am not sure about the hotel where you are staying.

I can't remember any shops renting surfboards. You will probably need longboards though if you surf the spots I mentioned.

Hang 11 Rent to own

I think the place on the main highway has rentals, a couple of miles before you climb the hills that makes the punta so mita.

Where did you go in Costa Rica? I'm trying to go next year!

There's a tourist place at the marina which is right near all the resort places in N. Vallarta. Turn into the marina and follow the signs to Centro de Communicaciones (sp) de Puerto V...it's right next door.
