On September 28th, GVI Quepos and Quepos Bodyboard hosted the Corona Cocaleña, a youth bodyboard competition that took place in El Cocal. This sport is popular with the kids of Cocal, but they often do not get the chance to compete in competitions where they can learn the structure and rules of the sport and teamwork. This competition was the second annual event and it was very successful!

The day will filled with smiles, backflips, arroz con pollo, reggae, and fun. All the money raised from the event went towards prizes for the kids such as new fins, a bodyboard cover, and inscription fees. We hope that any child with talent and motivation to stay healthy and continue in school can be involved with bodyboarding. I’m sure we’ll see some of them at the Worlds Competition in Chile!
