Surfing in the New York Times: Surf?s Up, and Upscale, as Sport Reverses It
2007-02-18 18:59:01
Matt Higgins, reporter with the New York Time s, recently wrote on the new image of surfing: how it’s changing from its previous beach bumb image to being seen as high-end upscale sport. As more professionals take up the sport, surfing provides more than just physical and mental benefit: now you can surf and discover networking opportunities at the same time. “For $10,000 a day, you can have the ultimate surfing sojourn in Indonesia aboard the 110-foot Indies Trader IV, a sort of floating hotel with 15 cabins, a helipad and three-course meals with wine. A motorized tender takes you to the waves. Or for a daily rate, in addition to the cost of his airfare, Brad Gerlach will give private instruction to select clients anywhere in the world. Mr. Gerlach, who was ranked No. 1 on surfing?s world professional tour during the 1986 and 1991 seasons, termed the cost ?not cheap at all.?

Nicaragua rising: War-torn image gets a tourist makeover
2007-02-18 18:59:01
Laura Bly, reporter with USA TODAY, recently visited key real estate and tourism areas in Nicaragua including Granada and San Juan del Sur.  Her article was published today.      “Long branded the black sheep of Central America, Nicaragua is working hard to erase its 1980s reputation as a war-torn outpost where gringos were more likely to encounter Kalashnikov-toting campesinos than a comfortable hotel. And campaign central is this scruffy fishing village turned surfing haven and intrepid travelers’ Next Great Place.”  A midwinter sun slinks toward the Pacific horizon, casting a flattering glow over the crescent bay where thousands of fortune seekers set sail for California during the Gold Rush. Today, it’s lined with palm-thatched restaurants where Jimmy Buffetts-in-training kick back with $1 beers and concoctions fueled by smooth, Nicaraguan-made Flor de Caña rum. Two blocks away at La Posada Azul, a just-opened bed-and-breakfast inn owned by expatriates fr...

Matagalpa and Jinotega are Nicaragua?s answer to Panama?s Boquete and Volca
2007-02-18 18:59:01
Savvy investors are always on the look out for emerging destinations - especially those with a twist on a familiar theme.  The Inland Mountains region of Matagalpa and Jinotega could be just that.  The area shares many of the characteristics of Boquete - probably the hottest spot for real estate in the Panama after Panama City - such as enchanted “hidden” valleys, mists that shroud the mountaintops, a perfect spring like climate, rushing rivers, flowers and high quality coffee.  This is where you come to commune with nature, hike, fish, cycle, kayak and recharge your senses in a setting of peace and tranquility.   Prices in the area are still 1/4 of what you will find in Panama and around 1/3 of property on Nicaragua ’s Pacific coast.  Read more on the mountainous, coffee growing areas of Apanas Lake, Matagalpa and Jinotega.

San Juan del Sur

San Juan del Sur is a small, charming fishing town on a spectacular half-moon sandy bay on the southern Pacific coast of Nicaragua. The town has good connections to the capital city Managua and the colonial town of Granada and has emerged as the premier tourism destination on the Pacific. Famous for its views, sunsets and surfing The dramatic hills surrounding the bay offer beautiful ocean views and the western orientation of the town provides perfect vantage points for taking in the sunset. Small, private yachts, fishing boats and the occasional cruise liner dot the lovely bay.
