Not always surfing, but this is cool as well… enjoy!

Well, that’s not exactly what I want to do during summer, but during cold winter, it’s fun: taking the surf board into the virtual waves of Second Life. I did on the Costa Rica Sims, and it was almost as good as in real. No saltwater in the nose, no sharks ;D

Here a screenshot… lol

During the holidays, we built up a nice beach bar for our late night parties. We really loved it, and our guests too. So we decided to create a permanent beach bar, and here we go:

So, please come closer, we’re open for orders!

Austrian singer and band leader of “The Sorrow“, Matthias “Maetze” Schlegel, visited us during the holidays and stayed past new years day at Zopilote surf camp. As we loved to have him here, he became absoultely a fan of the tropical mix of surf, great food & party.

Well, good luck with your latest release (coming in Feb 2009) and send us a copy!

hi,
maybe you all have heard about the terrible earthquake in Costa Rica this week. Fortunately, it didn’t affect the Cobano region and Santa Teresa at all. The main damages are in the central part of Costa Rica. The road from San Jose to Puntarenas is free and there are no problems to get to the ferries.

A great but muddy adventure race competition was held the last weekend in Orbec / Normandy, and our Zopilote Surfcamp racing team took part in a very well organised, adventureous competition. The race included mountainbiking, trail running, orientation running, kayaking, bike & run as well as shooting. Our team was almost 7 hours on the track, and arrived wet, muddy and very happy at the place de la mairie in Orbec.

The highlight of the event was clearly the kayak route, but for others a head-on jump from the bike into one of the many deep mudholes. However, everyone enjoyed the great after-event party with good food and dance. Who says the French can’t party? Oh yeah, they can!
