Wind Catchers promote solidarity and kitesurf!

The first WC Moving@BEACH happened last May 5th, in Nova Vaga kitebeach at Costa Caparica, Lisbon.

The purpose of this activity was to give a different day to 30 kids, letting them have the first touch in kitesurfing, which in any other way would hardly exist.

It was a success!
Lots of smiles and laughs showed the gratefulness to all the volunteers that joined Wind Catchers in this initiative.

Despite the relaxed way we handled this day, it was prepared with much dedication and care, so that all the logistic and human resources were ready when the 30 anxious kids invade the beach!

From the paramedic to the afternoon snacks, everything was carefully handled by the organization and the volunteers that gathered this sharing movement!

This Saturday is registered with some pictures and a video clip at www.WindCatchers.org, a day that will be hardly forgotten by the kids and all the participating riders!

The Wind Catchers thank for all the support, and promise a new WC Moving@BEACH further North

It's always good to see new people being able to try the sport.

Congrats on a great concept. Keep it up.

Also can you imagine the insane kiteloops with those short lines!!!!

great idea and glad to hear that it was a success,,,,could'nt dream of doing something like that in the UK far too much red tape and littigation.
