G’Day Fellas!
Im just wandering what thoughts are out there regarding “the starting of a surfcamp”…? I have various ideas running around my mind but not sure how to attack…
The area of the proposed surfcamp is in the pacific islands, pretty much unsurfed, raw and pristine, exposed to good swell direction, a miriad of reef passes… The reefs are a divers paradise, jungle trekking, bounties of food, fishing and of course waves abound. There are virtually no tourists…
I have found places like this before and hoped it would stay as it were… But it never has and eventually someone comes in and builds a surfcamp and the place is gone… So I figure I may as well get in there and do it my way before quicksilver or co. get in there and rape it to pieces… I want to incorporate an environmental permaculture design that is a purpose built learning centre for local people to gain knowledge and experience in global permaculture practices/with a surfcamp off spin… Including locally grown/shaped boards of course…
This Idea I hope will benifit the environment which is curently under great threat, the people who are very poor and without many income opportunities, and the surfer who wants to get back to thier roots…
My current plan of attack is to compose a web site and busines plan that I show certain people and groups in order to gain a small financial kickstart and begin operations small and low key… And from there grow as it can only grow…
Any ideas of paths to tread? Anyone have any experience in surfcamp beginings?
