Beach of S. João – Spot officially recognize

 

 

In September 2006, began the project Such as mobile school with the aim of providing a range of services, in which, in addition to teaching windsurfing, stood out, too, the many trips that have been organized.

With the change of time, also appeared to need to broaden the range of services in addition to classes and trips, is starting to justify the renting equipment, in order to give students who have not yet had its own material, the possibility of training of their own.

 

Since this component began to be asked, it became necessary to find a beach that meet a set of characteristics and allow the school operate efficiently in all its aspects, baptism, initiation, improvement, and advanced waves.  

The beach has been really tested and are in full compliance with all requirements, it was the Beach of São João in Costa de Caparica and that all students not only loved it, creating the most varied praise, either by the wind, the water quality, the plane of water, and access (near Lisbon, fast, with little traffic and good parking), or the excellent support bar (Palmeiras BeachBar).

 

With the passage of time has become essential, not only officially legalize the beach before the authorities (Captaincy of the Port of Lisbon), but also create conditions of security for all users (sailors and bathers) through the placement of a corridor of access with 400 meters long and 35 meters wide, and the acquisition of a vessel to support the activity.

Thus, inform all concerned that since September 1, 2008 was authorized to install the school of windsurfing on the beach of São João da Caparica in the area of granting "Palmeiras" with the license No 159 / 2008 with the following conditions:

 

1. The windsurf teaching should be carried out by accredited instructors and authorized by the Portuguese Sailing Federation,
2. During the bathing season should be a delimiter of the corridor space for activity, with a maximum of 35 meters wide,
3. During the teaching of the sport should be permanently available at least one boat rescue and recovery of practitioners in difficulty,
4. The surfing boards, outside the corridor of access to the beach, should not navigate to less than 300 meters from the waterline,
5. All students should be covered by insurance to cover any damage done to them and others,
6. Should be available means of First Aid to assist in case of accident.

 

I recognize that this way we will all benefit from a beach that, over time, could be one of the most sought spots by sailors, not only for its excellent conditions for the practice of windsurfing (beginner, freeride, slalon, waves and Freestyle), but also because they create conditions of security, which hitherto had existed.

On behalf of the School and the Triologia as well as on behalf of owners of the concession Palmeiras, who gave one of the most important contributions to this be possible, we will do everything possible to create more and better conditions for each receive more sailors of all levels and throughout the year.

 

Good winds,
