This is something I've been thinking for a while for my long term future!

A dream of mine would be to setup a hostel of sorts, with an area for camping, a cafe, maybe food trucks in the summer?, surf/climbing options nearby and perhaps a partnership with schools/guides.

And the main thing: a big hangar to work on campervan conversions, with a ton of tools available and some staff supervision. The idea being that you bring your van, pay some sort of membership/one-time fee and work on it, with our help.

Perhaps do some in-house conversions for clients, but that would be just a side business to help keep things going.

When I was younger I visited Timsplace in the Grampians in Australia, just this kinda joing (though it was hiking/climbing, no surfing).

Don't know if Tim has retired, but was a ton of fun to stay there:

Just an FYI, but if it’s at an airfield, the FAA can come after you if you don’t also use it for some kind of aviation. I forget the exact wording, but it’s basically to help protect hangar prices for people who fly.
