Imagine the possibilities of art when we start combining the elements of fire and water.
The skeptics among us will say that buying a private island is just a crazy dream... but the price of an
entire island in Nicaragua is less than a house in San Francisco.

1) Unlike Burningman, or any of the regional "burns", Floatingman will be a full-time community rather than an annual event.
2) Floatingman must be somewhere that "excites the imagination".
3) Floatingman needs to be near, on, or under water. After more than a decade of visiting the playa, we believe the burningman community should start experimenting in a new element.
4) Floatingman should be somewhere remote so that we have our privacy, but should not be so remote that it's completely inaccessible.
5) The community should be as free from legal restrictions and rules as possible.
6) The community members should strive to protect the environment and use sustainable energy, however art and fun come first. We would hate to build a place where flamethrowers are discouraged because they're bad for the environment.
7) Participants will follow Burning Man's 10 Principles.
Floatingman is legally incorporated as a LLC, which will hold the property title. All 100 owners will be partners in this LLC. But this project is largely about self-reliance, other than holding the property title, and handling required actions such as paying taxes, the org will be as hands off as possible.
We believe in transparency - our finances, our meetings, and our plans are public.
There are currently two people on the leadership committee of the LLC (Adam and Trae) We plan to gradually grow the size of our board. None of the leaders of the LLC will be paid for their service.
And finally, we are trying to build a community rather than a commercial venture; we specifically don't have any intentions to make a profit off of this project.
That's who we are, and what we're doing. If you have any questions, mail us, or post in the tribe.
