2011 Punta Sayulita Surf Classic – March 12 to 13

2nd Annual Punta Sayulita Longboard & Stand-Up Paddle Classic
March 12 – 13, 2011

The Second Annual Punta Sayulita Long Board & Stand-Up Paddle Classic will be held March 12 – 13 in Sayulita, 40 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta, in Riviera Nayarit. Building on the success of last year’s inaugural Punta Sayulita Classic, where thousands of spectators packed Sayulita’s beach to watch an elite field of international professional and amateur surfers compete in long board and stand-up paddle (SUP) contests, as well as in offshore SUP distance races, the event is shaping up to be one of the premier long board and SUP events worldwide, with participation commitments from some of the top international professionals in the sport.

Funds raised during the Second Annual Punta Sayulita Classic will be donated to the Reef Check and Punta Sayulita foundations. To learn more about the event, please visit their website, www.puntasayulitasurfclassic.com.

Vallarta Pit Bull Club Show

Pit bull show vallarta

Será el Próximo Domingo 23, en Unidad Deportiva “La Lija”…

Por Ricardo Barragán Ibarra

Con la finalidad de combatir la mala imagen que se les ha dado, el Club Vallarta de Pitbull el próximo domingo 23 de los corrientes en punto de las dos y media de la tarde en la Unidad Deportiva de La Lija, estará dando inicio a su Quinto Evento en el cual los perros de esa raza estarán realizando algunas demostraciones.

Debido a la irresponsabilidad de algunas personas que se dedican a realizar combates clandestinos de perros de esa raza y para lo cual entrenan a los animales, eso ha generado que mucha gente les tenga temor.

Esa es la razón principal que ha llevado a Roy Palacios, Víctor Martínez y Jorge López, responsables de ese club a la realización de un evento en el cual los animales muestran su destreza y nobleza, dando fe de que los pitbull son perros atléticos, con un excelente temperamento, dóciles y protectores.

“En nombre de PITBULL VALLARTA CLUB le hacemos una cordial invitación a la ciudadanía para que asista a nuestro Quinto Evento que se llevará a cabo en la cancha la Lija del Coapinole, el día 23 de Enero del 2011, en punto de las 2:30 de la tarde daremos inicio el evento”.

“PITBULL VALLARTA es un club que inició el 25 de Julio del 2010 dedicado a limpiar la imagen de esta raza, queremos ayudar, proteger y cuidar a estos animales, es por eso que hemos decidido reunirnos cada semana con el fin de realizar actividades recreativas que permitan demostrar el carácter noble de dicha raza, así como la manera en que es encauzada el talento de estos animales, tales como actividades de arrastre, jalar entre muchas otras”.

“De igual manera, ayudamos a aquellas personas que necesitan de otros, nos proponemos objetivos para estar en contacto con nuestro entorno, nuestro prójimo y todo aquello a lo que podamos contribuir, nosotros NO APOYAMOS organizaciones o algún tipo de delincuencia. Podemos decir con orgullo, que hemos organizado actividades deportivas con el fin de reunir recursos para el ayudar al tratamiento de quimioterapia hacia un colega y pretendemos seguir ayudando a nuestros semejantes. Hemos también cooperado para rescatar PITBULLS que se encuentran en condiciones deplorables y buscar una familia que adopte y les brinde una vida mejor”.

“Nuestro fin NO ES PELEAR PERROS, podemos demostrar con hechos y pruebas que lo que hacemos es totalmente entrenamientos deportivos para los perros, para que en un futuro se lleven pitbulls vallartenses a competencias nacionales, ya que somos socios de la FEDERACION MEXICANA DE AMERICAN PITBULL TERRIER , para el crecimiento de este club y de esta manera continuar ayudando”.
“Nosotros nos sostenemos de donaciones y aportaciones voluntarias, en ningún momento se pretende lo contrario, ya que creemos que nuestra comunidad necesita de la unión de todos nosotros”.

“Por esta razón hemos realizado eventos en donde se demuestre todo el trabajo de quienes conformamos el club, invitando a la gente a participar llevando a sus perros a formar parte en estas actividades adecuadas para esta raza, ofreciéndole a la gente la oportunidad de convivir y compartir esta experiencia”.

“Nuestra misión es dar a conocer que los pitbull no son como los pinta, un pitbull en manos de un dueño responsable, es una mascota fiel y cariñosa que convive con la familia”.

“Pretendemos inculcarle a la sociedad que un pitbull antes que ser un pitbull, es un perro, y que sea visto de la misma manera que ven a las otras razas. salvaguardaremos esta noble raza siempre”, así lo informaron los organizadores.

Para las personas que quieran obtener una mejor información sobre ese club, pueden llamar al teléfono celular 044 322 132 62 00 o bien, acudir a la finca marcada con el número 669 de la calle Mar del Sur en la colonia Palmar de Aramara.
