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.

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.

Cubasurf photo shoot at the spot known as: “El Cayo”(“The Key”).On 8 February the Cubasurf team, participated alongside Ametza Nicholls (Barbados), Icah Wilmot (Jamaica), Junior Gomez and Edwin Ten, both from (Dominican Republic), in an exclusive photo session, accompanied by Luis Manuel Mazorra, surfer from (Cuba) to share in an unforgettable evening. Although the waves were small, these Caribbean surfer’s maneuvers impressed the cameras and proved who the leaders in the region are.The travel expenses for these visiting surfers were sponsored by the Pan American Surf Association (PASA). In addition to sponsoring the travel of the visiting surfers PASA sponsored a competition between Cuban surfers and these visitors to promote surfing in Cuba. The fruits of this visit and competition were many, among them were the strong friendship developed between these four visiting surfers and Cubasurf, the exposure of international surfing to our Cuban athletes, and the exposure of Cuban surfing and beaches to the world.
