CubaSurf & Surfing Oeste

2010-05-01T14:10:00.000-07:00

On the morning of 20 February, Cubasurf visited the team SURFING-Oeste, made by children less than 16 years old, from Santa Fe, a neighborhood located in the municipality of Playa in Havana City.

It was founded in October 2007 by Yaima Espinosa with the aim of realizing the dream of every one of them, become figures of Cuban surf. Our organization made a photo shoot, after he had donated T-shirts with logo of our team. Our idea is to help and supports to raise funds for children of SURFING-OESTE that melts are a surf school. Many of these children began with pleybo (a piece of wood with some modifications), since they have the resources to obtain the required tables for better learning. They have acquired through donations from people like the Australian: Blair Cording, which he interested in the idea of this great work. That's why Cubasurf team convenes to support this project.

¨Barbados opens doors to Cuba¨ by Ametza Nicholls

2010-05-01T14:01:00.000-07:00

My journey to visit the Hispanic Island of Cuba for “PROJECT CUBA” was an inspirational first Pan-American Surfing Association’s (PASA) trip to open doors and develop relationships with our Spanish Speaking Caribbean Neighbour.

My Friend Icah Wilmot from Jamaica had been working on a discovery trip to Cuba for some time and was trying to get some sponsorship from various international Surf Companies and magazines. It all looked really good until the last minute…. It ended up being way too expensive so just about everyone backed out. Maile Aguerre, the President of PASA, took the opportunity that Icah was working on Cuba to join in his initiative and help put together the first Cuban Surf Nationals and a PASA invitational in the Island at the same time as we were there. Icah and I surfed the event representing our own countries against participants from Cuba and The Dominican Republic. Those were the 4 countries participating in this, the first ever International Surfing Event in Cuba, which really meant a lot to the surf lovers of Cuba and to us being the first participants and hopefully the first of many.

PASA conducted a training/judging seminar lead by Marcos and Juca of Brazil, which was very well received by all of those involved in the sport there and our job was to showcase our talents as top surfers in our respective countries and to let the Cuban surfers experience the competition first hand. There were only two divisions for the competition. This was the bodyboarding and the open. There were no girls participating and therefore I was asked to surf in the open. At the end of the prize giving I donated one of my personal boards to top Cuban surfer Umberto Rodriguez who had recently broken his favourite board and also a 7’ board given by Alan Burke of Burkie Boards, compliments of Nick Parker, to Yaima Espinosa who runs a kid’s surf training camp in Santa Fe, La Habana, Cuba.

The final of the open went as follows:

1^st Icah Wilmot – JAMAICA – 2^nd Junior Gomez - DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

3^rd Umberto Rodriguez – CUBA – 4^th Ametza Nicholls – BARBADOS

The Association of Cuban Surfers – as it translates – is not yet recognized by the Cuban Government. It is run by self appointed Eduardo Valdes who makes, fixes, lends and donates boards to whoever cares to learn the sport if he happens to be in a position to do so. Hopefully this can change soon.

There is also CubaSurf, headed by Luis Manuel Mazorra. This is a group of young surfers who pretty much do the same as well as make sure that any surfer coming to experience the surf of this island is taken to where they should go, told where they should not go, shown a great time, personally entertained and provided with an insight into the life of a Young Cuban Surfer.

Hay Surf en Cuba ?

2010-04-19T12:21:00.001-07:00

Esta Revolucionaria Web del surf en cuba (CubaSurf) demuestra la gran verdad acerca del deporte en la isla, muchos e inclusos habitantes del caiman piensan que este deporte no se practica en cuba, creen que son cosas del primer mundo pero esa no es la realidad...

Un grupo de jóvenes de Ciudad de la Habana en representación de todos los surfista de Cuba (existen muchos) demuestran que para surfear solo se necesita una tabla y mucho valor. Con la Ayuda de CubaSurf Association (canada) los surfers empiezan a unirse y organizarse, para lograr que algún día que el deporte al fin se puede institucionalizar en el país.
Muchos han sido los esfuerzos de los muchachos que practican surf en cuba pero no han sido en vano. En Febrero del 2010 viajara a cuba Maile Rodríguez Presidentas de la PASA (panamericana surf asociación) donde efectuaran un evento con todos los surfistas de cuba, se impartirán clases y una competencia, el objetivo es que nuestros chicos cubanos puedan competir en arenas internacionales de surf profesional y así demostrar sus agresivos estilos.

Cualquier duda o pregunta que tenga acerca del tema puede dirigirse a la web de CubaSurf
