Manzanillo sufres in the sports parade of november 20th

Translation: Heido Sundstrom

The Colima State Extreme Sports Association (DEEC, for its initials in Spanish), made an appearance on the streets of Manzanillo, Colima once again this year, participating in the traditional Sports Parade of November 20th.

The DEEC is one of the most active surf associations in Mexico and, in addition to appearing in parades, the association organizes surf contests, gives free surf classes to support kids of different disabilities, and also organizes musical and skating events. Very few associations (if any) have the same presence in these types of parades, but on November 20th, members of the DEEC went out to “surf” the streets, with the sun at their backs and the offshore winds hitting their face, making their presence known and gaining acceptance among the mainstream sporting community.

Way to go, DEEC! You’ve carried the baton and are an example to follow for all the surfing associations.
