localism - the locals are regulating the point now, if carlos or danillo, or a few other of the locals are in the water, don't paddle deeper than them or on their wave, i've seen that guy break a gringos nose before even saying a word...be careful, if you drop in on someone here or even paddle around the wrong guy, you better be prepared for a fight. it's the 3rd world, the cops will just laugh at you

Montanita is awesome - I've been going back and forth to Ecuador beaches.. its amazing! You do have to be carefull it is a 3rd world country.
Avoid weekends ("locals" not really, Guayaquilenos come from the city to the beaches to catch a wave. very territorial even though they are not from Montanita).

Every full moon there are tons of parties and raves called 'Fiesta de la Luna', but if you are not into the raves there are tons of bars, lots of Bob Marley, always good for the soul.

Galapagos are great if you want to explore a little bit more of Ecuador. Better surf there too.

weekend - Unfortunately there are some underdeveloped brains that tell people to piss off the water. claiming that they are the maximum locals so you can not be there. yep, they are from Guayaquil. During the week is great

- Hi!
Does anyone know the email of Sweet surf or any other tour company in Montanita or Ecuador?

Montanita is great - Not sure where some of these people are coming from?
I spent 5 weeks in Montanita.
I never saw a prostitute! The local were VERY friendly -both on and off the waves. There was some drugs - like anywhere else in the world. But only if you went looking for it. Its NOT in your face.
I studied Spanish there at Montanita Spanish School and had excellent teachers, the price was reasonable, and the staff friendly.
Town itself was clean, and so was the beach. They take great pride in cleaning it everyday.
All in all a great experience.

Montañita rules - Hi, we were in Montañita for a few days, made lots of friends, came back at the end of our Ecuador trip and had a good surf! Looking forward to returning asap! I can recommend Sweetsurf, these guys are good teachers and lots of fun to hang out with! ciao, Suzan

place is a zoo - great fun if you like smoking base, waves crowded with Euro kooks, and more sketch balls than you can shake a stick at.

have fun!

montanita is wrong - O.K ,the locals now tell non locals to piss off out of the water on the point,funny they arent originally from Montanita and come from the decrepid filth of Guayaquil....The only people who speak english there are the gringo tourists and the semi permanent flock of utter scum whos only means of survival are sucking the blood out of the tourists..ARTISANS who couldnt draw a stick figure but happily sell coke to fools heart attack bound,did I mention the psostitutes,interpols amussing attempts to clean up the drug problem in town and the comunas habit of being the most untrusted and disliked in a country renound for ummmmmmmm ahhhhh untrustworthy regulating bodies.......Oh,who the hell wrote the spanish school there is expensive,you are an idiot,5 bucks an hour ......shit mate,the .6g bags of coke flooding town are only 5 bucks so how can the lessons be considered expensive...The point is only good when you catch it uncrowded and as the standard of surfing isnt as high as might be expected the local and underlying attitude which is anything but love-peace and tolerance,is completely laughable............Before anyone steps in with some idiot like "you dont know what your talking about " reply let me say this.....I know Montanita and ecuador pretty well,99 percent of ecuadors real surfers whos stoke and attitude is still un-contaminated and un-affected dislike montanita and all it represents......Do yourself a favor,find a muy caliente chica de locombia in Montanita,get the hell out of town and head north ....If you really want you could get a boat out to some of the reefs just south of puerto cayo and surf some trully epic uncrowded waves without the scene.......Theres probably 50 people in Montanita who arent focused solely on money and living off gringos,the rest of the town are going to hell real fuckn quick......hippies stink by the way...............
