The wait is over! It’s time once again for the
annual Robert August Surf & Turf charity event in Tamarindo, Costa
Rica! Mark your calendars for July 29 through August 4 and join your
friends Robert August, Wingnut, and all the regulars for a great
time that benefits the kids of Costa Rica. If you have been to any
of the previous events, you know the fun that is packed into each
day. If you haven’t been yet, here’s a look at just some of what is
in store:
Friday, July 30 – Day of surfing (may be held on Monday, August 2 if
the surf looks to be better that day)
Saturday, July 31 – Golf competition at the beautiful Hacienda
Panilla golf course
Sunday, August 1 – Sunset cruise.
What does it cost:
This year we will be charging $250 for your entry fee. This is
cheaper than it has been in previous years, so you have no excuses
for not showing up!
Who it Benefits:
For the fourth straight year, the Robert August Surf & Turf is
partnering with the Cepia Foundation, a local non-profit group that
strives to improve the lives of children in Costa Rica. The Robert
August Surf & Turf event has helped to raise over $20,000 each year
for the past three events, allowing Cepia to expand its operations
and reach more children. For more information about the
organization, please visit www.asociacioncepia.org
How to get there:
Airline flights by most major U.S. airlines can be booked into
Liberia, leaving Tamarindo only a short drive away. You may also fly
into San Jose and take a 90 minute commuter flight into Tamarindo
through Sansa Airlines. However, due to the size of the commuter
plane, surfboard restrictions apply and long boards cannot be
accommodated. For this reason, we recommend flying into Liberia.
Golf clubs will be provided at the tournament, so you are not
required to bring your own.
Where to stay:
We recommend the Cala Luna Hotel and Villas and the Tamarindo Vista
Villas for accommodations during the event. There are certainly
other options, including house rentals on the beach. Click on the
links below to make your reservations, and be sure to mention the
Robert August Surf N' Turf event.

up:

soon.
Other frequently asked questions:
Can my family come along with me?
- Of course! The structure of the event is set up to accommodate
families as well as individuals. Many people have brought their families
with them to previous events and had a great time. Most events, such as
the surfing and sunset cruise, are perfect for families.
Do I need to sign up with three other people in order to have a team for
the golf tournament?
- No. If you have three other people that you want to play with, let us
know. If you don’t, we will pair you up with others looking for
teammates
I am not a
great surfer or golfer. How competitive is it?
- The focus of the event is not competition, it is all about having a
great time while helping some people out. We have had participants of
all levels attend and enjoy previous events.
I can’t make the whole week, is that okay?
- Of course. Friday thru Sunday makes up the bulk of the scheduled
activities, but we will be there all week with activities and events
planned for anyone who is around.
