Costa Rica venture
September 29th, 2008
Got a real neat email from Matt and Natasha out in Hood River..... these kids have been great friends for years.... Matt aka: Australian lifeguard , even though he is from NZ....... Looks like we will be promoting their venture in Costa Rica:
"Matt and I have a very exciting announcement to make.
This summer we took stock of our lives and decided it was time to do
something different....something radically different, especially since our
two boys, Alex and Finn, are still quite young. After some research and
investigation, we found the perfect opportunity in the perfect location.
We are the new proud owners of Point Break Surf, a surfing school and guide
company.
Where?
Costa Rica! No kidding. Really.
We will be based in the Guanacaste region, otherwise known as the "Gold
Coast" of Costa Rica and it is one of the beautiful parts of Costa Rica.
Specifically, we will be operating in the tourist towns of Flamingo,
Brasilito, and Potrero (all three are located half a mile of each other).
As you can imagine, Matt and I are very excited and this kind of enterprise
is right up our alley, with Matt teaching / guiding (and morphing into a
fish) and me running the operations and marketing. We have already found a
great school for the boys that teaches in both spanish and english.
"Wait, what about WetDawg / Katabak?" you may ask. WetDawg was sold to
Katabak about four years ago and since then, BroadbandSports.com and
Broadbandmotorsports.com have been the company's flagship sites. While I was
initially involved with Broadbandsports, after two children, it was time to
move on.
For the time being, we are renting out our house in the Columbia Gorge while
we are gone. We plan to be back in the Gorge next September / October as
that is the rainy season in Costa Rica and there is not much tourism.
We hope you will consider coming to Costa Rica for your next vacation.
We will show you a good time!
Now, gotta get back to studying Spanish...Talk to you later!"
Natasha, Matt, Alex, and Finn
