2011 EPIC SCREAMER

Lanzan ‘Viva México en la Playa’ por mes patrio .

Como parte de las celebraciones de Bicentenario de la Independencia de México, la Asociación de Propietarios, Inversionistas y Prestadores de Servicios de Playa del Carmen (APIPPC) anunció su evento gastronómico, deportivo y recreativo llamado Viva México en la Playa.



En rueda de prensa, Lenin Amaro Betancourt, presidente de APIPPC, destacó que el evento se realizará en los 800 metros de playa que comprenden del parque Fundadores a la calle 14 norte.

"Se trata de un magno evento que incluso será histórico. Tendremos actividades deportivas, culturales, familiares. Buscamos que convivan el turismo con la gente de la localidad", indicó el empresario.

De acuerdo con la información de los organizadores, durante los tres días que dure el evento se realizarán actividades como escultura en arena, voleibol, fútbol y rugby de playa, kite surfing, yoga, muestra gastronómica, entre otras. Del mismo modo se coronará a la Señorita Corazón Riviera Maya.

"Se trata de impulsar esta zona de playas y promover la Riviera Maya, pero, particularmente a Playa del Carmen, como Corazón de la Riviera Maya. Somos un destino de sol y playa y queremos desarrollar eventos e infraestructura para la gente que camine en esta área", dijo Amaro.

"Sabemos muy bien que se estima una temporada muy mala pero esperamos que venga gente de Cancún y otras ciudades del estado, incluso de Mérida", remarcó.

La inauguración del evento será el 14 de septiembre a las 10:30 de la mañana, en el restaurante y club de playa Zenzi -ubicado en la calle 10 con zona federal marítima. La clausura será el 16 de septiembre, a las nueve de la noche. Habrá ceremonia de premiación para los participantes.

Kiteboarding Zone in PDC for 2010/2011 wind Season

Playa del Carmen Kiteboarding Areas for coming 2010/2011 Wind season.
Thanks to the work of “PDC KITEBOARDING”(Sandos Playacar Kiteboarding School), the AKQR(Associacion de Kitesurfing de Quintana Roo), ZOFEMAT(Zona Federal Marítimo Terrestre) and the support and help of few local Kiteboarders, we finally could organize and rule 4 different Kitesurfing Areas on 4 different beaches in Playa del Carmen with a designated “Kiteboarding Launching Zone” where EXPERIENCED and CERTIFIED riders will be able to Launch and Land there kites in total respect to other “beach goes” and swimmers!

For beginners and non certified riders, the School of PDC Kiteboarding offers IKO (International Kiteboarding Organization) certification courses given by experienced and IKO certified Instructors at their beach location: The Sandos Playacar Resort beach. (ex Gala Resort beach).
The school is the only Certified and Authorized center in Playa del Carmen.







Those 4 Kiteboarding Zone are the following:
*Sandos Playacar Resort Beach/PDC Kiteboarding School
*Playacar Phase 1 (Next to Xaman Ha condos)
*Coco Beach, about 300m north of the Grand Coco Beach Resort
*Xcalacoco

At each of those Kite Zone will be very soon installed by ZOFEMAT(in coordination with PDC Kiteboarding and the AKQR) a sign and map showing the exact “Designated Kite Area” and special rules for Kiteboarders and “beach users”.





The goal of this action is to allow the practice of this amazing sport while respecting the other water activities and other beach users!

It is very important that Kiteboarders respect those rules to be able to keep practicing our sport in the future in our hometown!!!
