Pura Vida and Aloha Together
The Park family moved to Costa Rica originally in 1981. Dylan, Jonathan and Nathan along with their older sister, Elizabeth, grew up surrounded by Costa Rica’s diverse culture and adventurous lifestyle. Some early memories include deep sea fishing off the Nicoya Peninsula, water skiing over crystal clear reefs, camping on the farm during the weekends and of course, playing endlessly in the ocean. The family left Costa Rica in 1986 and a couple years later found themselves living in Hawaii for the next 11 years. All three boys graduated from high school on Maui and spent all their free time in the water; first boogie boarding then surfing. Dylan became an avid spear fisherman, Nathan took his love of surfing to the mountains to become a professional snowboard coach and Jonathan, after years as a competitive snowboarder, was drawn back to Maui to start a family and live the Aloha Spirit. All through the years on Maui, going back to Costa Rica and working on the family farm was a family goal. Now living full time on the farm and owning his own surf camp, Dylan has made the family dream a reality. All of the Park family divides their time between Costa Rica, Maui and the Rocky Mountains. They truly do bring the Aloha Spirit and the Pura Vida lifestyle together!
