Tiki at Cowboy Up

Business was good, she said, until Hurricane Harvey struck the
Texas Gulf Coast in August 2017.
It impacted our business in that people didnt have the disposable income to
come and do a recreational sport, she said. And when that stream dried up, our
bills coming in didnt dry up.
She relied on savings to get her business through the challenging time.
But now that the business is barely back in the black, Mashy is having to deal
with a new issue: Her partner will be leaving Cowboy Up in April, which is a big
blow to the business.
This business counts on two of us, two pilots working in tandem to service one
customer, she said. So when one pilot leaves its impossible for that business
model to work anymore.
Finding a new partner is proving very difficult, because that person needs to
have experience teaching hang gliding, be able to fly the plane and know how to
work on the engine and equipment.
Looking for that person in my industry is extremely difficult and I want to
find the right person, Mashy said.
