It’s A Shore Thing: You + Costa Rica

October 16th, 2009

its a shore thing

Dear thrill seekers and sun chasers:

Much is feeling extra saucy these days, and in a fit of sugar-induced kindness, we’re looking to send four people to Costa Rica for some serious adventure!

We’ll ship you off and put you up in the jungle-filled country, whereupon you and a coupla VJs will fill your days with surf lessons, zip-lining, mud hikes, horseback riding and more! Plus, we’ll film it all for TV. Schwing!

If you’re into it, whip up a creative video explaining why we should choose to send you to Costa Rica! Are you adventurous? Have you always wanted to learn how to surf? Why do you deserve to take off for something so exciting? Plead your case - even better, show us - and then GO HERE to upload it!

Remember: 1. Don’t get nekkid in your video, and don’t cross any copyright violations. 2. You’ve got until October 30 @ 6pm ET to enter! 3. You’ve gotta be at least 18 and have a valid passport!

And please remember to read the full rules & regs! *shakes fist*

  2. I remember trying to surf when i went to hawaii for a few weeks hahaha aww man i was brutal, couldn’t keep my balance on the board at all the slightest wave and i’d fall off. Body boarding was fun though :D

  3. Hey there, my name’s Curt. I’m about to tell you how I can fit into your cost rican surf adventure. Unfortunately i don’t have access to a camera at the moment so this lame text will have to do… I’m 23 and from Vancouver,BC. I work in calgary and haven’t had a day off in 60 days. living on the road takes quite the toll on a guy. This is where you come in. My first and last surf adventure was in Mexico 3 years ago. Where I would have drown if it wasn’t for my brother. I could definately use the lessons, I own two surfboards which haven’t left the garage since i got them.

  4. OK, I am a lot older than most of your fans, but I still like the music, the bands, and the contests! I love walking on the beach and swimming in the ocean and dancing by the pool. I have talked about going to Costa Rica for years, but it is expensive for a vacation there, so this could be my big chance! Gracias!!

  6. Hi, so I was just about to send my video that would have made me look like a crazy person when i read that you have to be 18. That blows more then this windy weather that is going on right now. When is the trip going to be is there any IF AND OR BUT to letting a 17 year old go? I Live on my own and still go to school and really need to get away. Please much music don’t be a heartless monster that wont let me go just because of my age.

    Sincerely

    - To young :’(

I am a full time student, studying psychology and would like getting my nose out of the books for a while. I am not sure how to upload videos! so I thought I would write instead. Love MuchMusic too!!! Hope that scores me some brownie points :)
