Since the beginning our vision for Las Catalinas has prominently featured a great outfitter to help our residents and visitors enjoy the natural and sporting wonders of Las Catalinas.   Pura Vida Ride fits the bill perfectly.   The combination of Pura Vida Ride and our restaurant will make Las Catalinas and Playa Danta unique in our area as a place where people can enjoy a great day at the beach with a variety of first class sporting activities and top quality food, drink, and service. The owners of Pura Vida Ride are Martyn Hoffmann and Jake Jacobs.   Both of them are accomplished businessmen AND passionate outdoor sports enthusiasts.   Jake spent 25 years with Spyder Active Sports, most recently as CEO.   He is an avid outdoor athlete, a former ski and bike racer.   He is living in Costa Rica with his wife Amy and their twin five year old girls.   Martyn lives in Flamingo with his wife Debi, and their two children.   His professional background is in luxury hotel, residential, and golf course development.   His passion is surfing and anything else ocean related. Having Jake, Martyn, and Pura Vida Ride joining our new town is especially gratifying for me personally.   I plan to be one of their very best customers! - Charles ## See related posts ## [A New Perspective on Sustainable Travel: The Car-Free Movement](https://theblog.lascatalinascr.com/spring-break-car-free-in-las-catalinas-0) [ Costa Rica is one of the hubs for sustainable travel in the world, the birthplace of ecotourism and of some of the first ecolodges in Tropical America, a world leader in conservation, and a country on the leading edge of sustainable energy, decarbonization, and combating climate change. ](https://theblog.lascatalinascr.com/spring-break-car-free-in-las-catalinas-0) [Read more](https://theblog.lascatalinascr.com/spring-break-car-free-in-las-catalinas-0) ## [Best Homes in Las Catalinas to Train and Recover](https://theblog.lascatalinascr.com/staying-for-the-las-catalinas-triathlon-0) [Read more](https://theblog.lascatalinascr.com/staying-for-the-las-catalinas-triathlon-0) ## [Spending Spring Break Car Free in Las Catalinas](https://theblog.lascatalinascr.com/spring-break-car-free-in-las-catalinas) [ Today, it’s possible to be far more conscious about the environment than ever before.
