Help me save our beach paradise in Mexico

Postby avillax » Sat Nov 01, 2014 5:22 pm

Hello guys, we have a beautiful surf beach in Mexico that is being taken away from us by corporate greed. The beach is in the Puerto Vallarta, Mexico area. There are many surf spots in this area, the waters are warm and the beaches are beautiful, however the corrupt government in Mexico is selling beaches to private entrepreneurs and closing beach accesses to the public.

They have already taken some beaches away from us and now they're doing the same with our favorite playground, however this time we can prevent this from happening.

Please visit our Indiegogo campaign to find out more and I promise that if you ever come to Puerto Vallarta, I'll personally take you surfing to the best spots. And if you don't come to Puerto Vallarta please do so for the surfer spirit in you. Thanks.

We are losing an entire State in terms of surf spots, the best one was in the famous Four Seasons Punta Mita in which fishermen were displaced and all access closed, some even say you are bullied by boat even if you get there by boat. A few years ago they also tried to close another major beach break and almost succeeded but they only failed because the constructor scammed the investors and the government who was going to get a cut from it. And now La Lancha is the last paradise in this area, if we lose this one then we lose them all. Please, surf community, contribute, I'll swear if you ever come to Puerto Vallarta which is a nice destination, I will take you to the breaks. Thanks.
