>>Perhaps you would like to contact those in charge

Hi,

We were thinking about a vacation (holiday) in Costa Rica this winter but heard from the only windsurfing centre in the country, Tico Wind, that they have been closed down. Could you help us out to find out if that will change. We really wanted to windsurf on Lake Arenal, it’s been on our bucket list for years.

Regards,

>> We encourage the assistance

Hi,

We have been visiting Costa Rica for years for our annual windsurfing/kitesurfing vacation. (we wanted to go to learn wingfoiling) Just heard from the operator, Tico Wind, that they have been closed down by your government. Sounds weird that a tourist destination gets closed down, especially with you folks trying to recover from the Covid-19 situation. There also doesn’t seem to be another windsurf centre in the country. Can you help us?

Regards,

COSTA RICA
