Would you be interested in a group skating trip to the Grand Cayman?

[skategeezer]

I met a guy who books surf trips with legends like Robert August.

We have been discussing the possibility of doing a skate trip to the Grand Cayman Island.

The trip would include skating on the Friday, Saturday and part of Sunday.
Sometime in October (Columbus weekend)
It would cover flight, hotel, ground transportation, skatepark admission and a few surprises.

Any thoughts?

Ballpark idea?

I was there over Christmas break. If you're into park skating, they have a huge park. But if you're into pretty much anything else besides going for a mellow cruise, There isn't much.

[skategeezer]

about $750

limited to about 40 folks

you could bring young uns....non-skating partners would relax on the beach.
3 days of skating...or 2 days of skating and some fishing...

just a party...a skate party!

it sounds like a good deal, Mikey

[Jerzey@AdvancedSlideLabs]

I def. think I'd be into that

The wave generator right beside it is awesome. There were people on it when I was there. A word of caution though, the local skatepark, the Black Pearl (pretty much the only one I think there are a few other sports stores with stuff but that's the only skate shop) is almost never open so I would suggest bringing things you needed with you.

i think the pricing would work for NYC and Miami..

as for the park, we'd coordinate things and make sure they are open!

Very interested
So I have to book my own flight to get to NYC or Miami and theen meet up ?

[WAX]

that would be awesome....

[skategeezer]

well, here's the deal...we would limit it to 40 folks...
and we'd make pricing with or without flight...there are some who can get better deals...
but, the key thing is that hotel, ground transportation and skatepark fees would be bundled together

I will know more next week

<--was thinking about taking park lesson's from "J" anyway. Maybe I need to hurry and learn to go to the Cayman's.

Grand Slam Tennis Tours has a really good model for tennis fans to get flights, rooms, and entertainment in various price packages to watch major tennis events. One of the founders came to a class of mine and talked to us. I have no interest in tennis, but the idea of a tour package that includes flight, food, simple shelter, and a good time for the Downhill scene would be cool.

Have a family package, single, team package, flight or no flight included, camping or hotel packages, maybe even a media package to help bring promoters to more events.

I want to go to the Black Pearl.... what a great idea. Must save money.

I'd ride this park.

Nice warm-up area. Where's the main part of the park?

I'm sure it's a good deal, but that's a lot of coin. Still, I might be interested.

The black pearl is closed. I was there recently and I tried several times but it was never open.
