Mikela Castro Bolívar: The Future of Costa Rican Surfing and the Community Support Behind Her

At The Jaco Times, we love to highlight the exceptional talent emerging from our local communities, and today, we are excited to introduce you to Mikela Castro Bolívar—a rising star in the world of Costa Rican surfing. Born and raised in Limón, Mikela has quickly made a name for herself as a trailblazer in women’s surf, overcoming challenges and breaking barriers along the way. Her story is one of perseverance, passion, and undeniable talent, and she is poised to make history on the international surf stage.

Mikela’s Journey: From Limón to National Recognition

Mikela Castro Bolívar’s journey into the world of surfing started at a young age, riding the waves of her coastal hometown in Limón. Her natural skill and determination to succeed quickly set her apart. As she began competing in local and national surf competitions, her potential became clear to everyone who watched her ride.

Despite the immense talent she displayed, Mikela faced many obstacles along the way—particularly as a young female athlete in a sport that hasn’t always offered equal opportunities for women. But her passion for surfing never wavered, and her drive to succeed pushed her to continue challenging herself in every competition.

Tico Deals: Supporting the Future of Women’s Surf

One of the organizations excited to back Mikela on her journey is Tico Deals, a digital discount card designed to give back to the community. Through partnerships with local businesses, Tico Deals not only offers incredible savings to residents and visitors alike but also channels profits into supporting youth sports in Costa Rica.

Tico Deals has proudly chosen to sponsor Mikela as she continues to carve her path in the world of professional surfing. This sponsorship is part of a broader mission to support youth sports, particularly for girls who don’t always receive the same level of support as their male counterparts.

“We are thrilled to be part of Mikela’s journey and to help provide the resources she needs to continue competing and representing Costa Rica on the world stage,” says Lisle Head, founder of Tico Deals. “Our goal with Tico Deals is to invest in the future of our community, and athletes like Mikela embody the incredible potential that exists here.”

A Community Effort: Why Tico Deals Was Created

Tico Deals was born from the desire to give back to the community in meaningful ways. By providing locals and visitors with exclusive deals on dining, entertainment, and adventure, Tico Deals supports local businesses while reinvesting profits into youth sports initiatives.

For athletes like Mikela, this support can make all the difference. The funds generated by Tico Deals are used to help young athletes access the equipment, training, and opportunities they need to excel in their sports. In Mikela’s case, these funds go toward helping her compete in more national and international competitions, where she can continue to make her mark as one of Costa Rica’s top surfers.
