About the Winner

This is based on the number of votes received and does not reflect the quality of the business or chances of winning.
How can you get the opportunity surf and travel every day of the year, without having to call in to your boss or punch a clock? Create a surf travel company and a website that markets to surfers traveling to Costa Rica.

CRsurf.com was started in 1999, and now is ranked #1 on Google for 'Costa Rica surf'. We are also recommended in the Lonely Planet, Frommer's, and Hunter Travel guides as the experts on surfing in Costa Rica.

So we promote local hotels and businesses that give back to the surf community, helping them find more eco-friendly travelers to stay with them. Then we use some of the income to support environmental charities like the Surfrider Foundation, PRETOMA (protecting sea turtles), and 1% for the Planet. That way the waves stays clean for future generations of surfers.
