- The biggest update is water moratorium in place for new water approval letters. The ASADA can not say when this will change because we need to provide 20 year in advance coverage so need new wells & legal processing all to take place
- Rich predicts existing construction & properties with water meters like K45 & ones with approved water letters like R6 will become highly sought after. However, there are not many properties with water letters in place

Tim Marsh Announces Safari Surf School’s 25th Anniversary with G Love & Friends Benefit Show Plus 1990’s stories about Garza & Casa Toucan
In this Nosara Podcast episode, Tim Marsh from Safari Surf School shares stories from mid 1990’s PLUS announces benefit concert with G Love & Friends happening November 16th to celebrate Safari Surf School’s 25th year anniversary.
Tim recounts how his Nosara journey started mid 1990’s in Playa Garza (small town just south of Playa Guiones), with a little super market & deli type of shop, right as you roll into town along Ruta 160 smack in front of where Soda Garza sits today. That building is still sitting there & most people are unaware about Tim’s family entry portal to Nosara.
Many of us may remember Casa Tucan, where Safari operated for many years until ultimately being bought out by the Johnson family as they expanded the Harmony Hotel’s services & presence into what is today is Al Chile & Sunset Shack. Tim jokes about karaoke night being the end of their successful run too close to a nice hotel 🙂
The G Love show proceeds are set to benefit Dreamcatcher’s Foundation CR and the International Animal Rescue (IAR ).
Anyways, hope you enjoy this episode with Tim & the good news he provides for us all both in & celebratory service to the community. Reserve tickets for the show November 16th &/or the private dinner auction November 15th with G Love Friday night at Tierra Magnifica.
Safari is looking for donations from businesses, homeowners, artists, etc so hit them up if you want to contribute in any manner.

Pao Barrera details purpose of the Triple Crown of Surf Nosara hosted by Asociacion de Surf Nosara + ideas on how to help
Long time friend Pao Barrera dropped in for her first Nosara Podcast episode to explain the purpose & intentions for Triple Crown of Surf Nosara contests plus explain how & why the Asociacion de Surf Nosara is asking for support from the local community & visitors.
Pao is pleasure to be around, and it is fun to see her growing family evolve while she continues to be a pillar in the community.
She serves as vice president for the Asociacion de Surf Nosara & their main objective is to unite people through surfing to make a difference in the community for a greater good.
They are paying prize $ to winners plus they are getting local children involved in the festivities. They are asking for people to come join in on the fun plus consider anything and everything from financial to gift donations which may help serve as prizes & or benefit local kids. Some local leaders of the surf community are assisting Dreamcatchers Foundation on a regular basis & overall the Asociacion is committed to uniting the community through surfing.
*There’s several ‘Rich rants’ in this episode pertaining to community items; especially about empowering the local Tico populace with the education and skill set systems to acquire higher end jobs and own their own successful businesses and become the future.Personally I am growing quite tired of people directing anger & frustration about Nosara’s challenges without being part of a solution. Being upset or angry is OK, but direct it to the right direction… The Asociacion de Surf Nosara is doing this & it has my attention a great deal.
The Asociacion de Surf Nosara is happy for anyone & everyone to help any number of ways ranging from financial assistance to used surfboards, games for kids, and even just some ideas &/or helping local kids learn to surf are super appreciated as Pao explains in this episode.
Per usual, I ask 3 favorite restaurants question of Pao plus a bunch more.If you’re in town get to the contest to participate or just cheer on the folks involved. Shout out to all sponsors and everyone involved looking to help for a greater good.
