Int'l Surfing Tournament in Quimixto
 Pamela Thompson - PVNN
January 27, 2010
Mark your calendar for January 30 and 31, 2010 to head for the small village of Quimixto, on the south coast of Puerto Vallarta's Banderas Bay, where surfers from all around the world will participate in the 2nd Annual Torneo de Surf Quimixto. Last year's tournament was a huge success - and the word has gotten out that this is THE place to surf!
Rolo Romero (tournament organizer) says: "This year we are projecting twice as many visitors that we had the first time. By going to the event, you’ll be contributing a lot to the village of Quimixto, who happens to be the poorest of the so-called 'islands' (Las Animas, Quimixto and Yelapa).
We know of people and charities who go to Quimixto and bring toys and candy to the children, which is praiseworthy, but this event truly brings these children & families hope by realizing the potential they have as a surfing destination, that, well-nurtured, could become a type of Sayulita (with its limitations), where surfing keeps a large number of the population working and earning decent money."
Organizers: Tourist Department of Jalisco, Fideicomiso Costalegre, City of Cabo Corrientes, Surfing Association of Jalisco, the whole town of Quimixto and private enterprises.
What? You don't surf? Well, neither do I - but I'm sure heading over there to see those who do and enjoy a fabulous beach day! If you are interested in going along with a group (of non-surfing beach lovers!) please contact me, as I already have a few who would like to attend! For further information regarding the tournament, please contact pvrolomx(at)yahoo.com.mx, or visit SurfingJalisco.com.
