Surfing is for the cool folk.... I think you should open up a surf shop on the beach.
Most towns have bus service, even if off the beaten path such as Playa Guiones near Nosara in Guanacaste. And all taxis, including the red and orange taxis from the airport will transport you anywhere you wanna go for a price. If you want private transportation, don't have much luggage, and can survive without all of the required insurance that official taxis have, I suggest hiring one of the piratas in unmarked cars. You can negotiate with them and usually get better deals. Or you can try a local tourist guide like
Samara, Nosar, Carrillo Local Guide which lists many of the local transport companies that can be hired for special schedules and destinations.
