The team has received recognition and support from the State of Quintana Roo in the form of uniforms and other branded gear. A portion of the funds required for airfare, accommodation and other related travel expenses were raised by the kids themselves. The Nohoch Surf Team has received great interest and support from the community which is just one of the many reasons to love Puerto Aventuras!
The surf competition in Ixtapa began on November 8th and will conclude on November 20th. The Shortboard surfing categories began today with great results from all of our local surfers!
