This is how our clinic was on El Anclote beach.

On August 20, we had a parasurf clinic on “El Anclote” beach with the participation of 43 people of different ages and types of disabilities, where they had the opportunity to practice Stand Up Paddle (SUP) on a sunny day with sea in calm, giving us the opportunity to live together and enjoy water sports.

For some it was their first time getting on a surfboard, and for others their first time in the sea, since we had participants from Guanajuato and the city of Tepic, showing that Surfing Smiles continues to generate an inclusion movement that reaches beyond the coasts of Nayarit and Jalisco.

We know that we could not achieve all this without the collaboration of our instructors and volunteers, who are a fundamental part of our clinics.

As well as the help and participation of our sponsors: DIF Bahía de Banderas, DIF Puerto Vallarta, Instituto del Deporte de Bahía de Banderas, TRON, and many more who have been joining this great family of Surfing Smiles.

Thank you very much for riding the wave with us and helping us continue this work.
