A friend called to write us letting us know that as he sipped his morning coffee at his local Starbuck’s, CHICABRAVA appeared on the front page news of sympatico.ca – Canada’s leading internet provider’s website (with over 2 million subscribers) and home page for all Canadian Starbuck’s internet hot spots. We were so stoked that we made the cut of 10 surf camps world-wide and put Nica on the map yet again overseas!!! Check out the link!

The excerpt on us reads: “San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua. Located in a quaint fishing village, all-girls resort, Chica Brava not only offers beginner, intermediate and advanced instruction but also offers lessons specifically for women aged over 40 and other customized packages. The Cloud Farm package includes three healthy meals from farm to table. Chica Brava offers the chance to go horseback riding, zip lining and partying in town for additional costs. The owners don’t sugar-coat the realities of living in a small village in a third world country. Packages start at $990 per person (based on double occupancy).”

Yay! Thanks Sympatico!!!!
