Panama Surf Tours - we're not into surfing - but maybe you are - one short quote from the site "Panama has some of the best surf spots in all of Central America! Unlike Costa Rica, Panama is still virgin and you can catch most of the best surf spots by yourself with your buddies. Panama’s circulating currency is the US Dollar so there are no currency conversion hassles or rip-offs. Panama’s prices are still very low, so you can live like a king and eat like a pig after hard core surf sessions for as little as $2 or sometimes less, depending on where you are at. "
