Baller Laz Posted January 29, 2012 Baller Share Posted January 29, 2012 A few weeks ago we spent 8 days with Jim Kilsdonk at WaterSki Costa Rica. This time we were two families, 4 adults and 6 kids. This was by far the best family vacation in memory. The skiing is without compromise. Jim is a fantastic and patient coach. Most of the kids skied every day, with the older ones skiing twice. The lake, course and conditions were usually perfect. Although we had a few cloudy days, we had very little wind. The kids (and adults) loved the non-ski activities, especially the zip lining and hot springs. Everyone made progress and skied as much as much as our bodies could handle. My 6 year old got up on two skis by herself and crossed the wake for the first time. My 9 year old made the course at 40k and my 11 year old actually skied and with a smile. My wife is very close to making the course and I finally got some consistency with 28' off. Hopefully, we can do it again next year. See www.waterskicostarica.com for details. I will post a 28' off video for critical analysis! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller 6balls Posted January 29, 2012 Baller Share Posted January 29, 2012 Looks fantastic. What is the per person rate or is it one rate to rent the villa and take the appropriate number of people? In general, what was the cost of non-ski excursions per person? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Laz Posted January 30, 2012 Author Baller Share Posted January 30, 2012 It's a per person rate for the week. Email Jim and he'll let you know. All meals and most activities are included. I think we only paid separately for the zip lining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Laz Posted January 31, 2012 Author Baller Share Posted January 31, 2012 We stayed at the Villa. It was just the two families so we had the place to ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller 6balls Posted January 31, 2012 Baller Share Posted January 31, 2012 Already plans to dive w/family in Cozumel spring break this year, but discussing possibility of next year. Suspect it will be a ski buddy trip rather than family, though, as the rest not enough into skiing and expensive trip for non-skier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Laz Posted January 31, 2012 Author Baller Share Posted January 31, 2012 Send Jim an email. He will give a non-skier discount and provide some other activities for non-skiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller 6balls Posted January 31, 2012 Baller Share Posted January 31, 2012 I did so, thanks. He sent a great response outlining all that can be done. The question is whether I can sell it in place of an annual SCUBA trip to the family. It might be more fun w/ski buds just because I don't have to be concerned that everyone else is having fun, too.
