Back in 1979, several young people from Pontes began practicing canoeing in the Presa da Ribeira with two old canoes lent by Naútico Firrete de Pontedeume. This was the beginning of a long and successful history of Pontés canoeing.
With very few means and a lot of enthusiasm, the Youth Canoe Group was formed in 1980 with Pepe Severiano as president.
The first generation of youth canoeists was formed: Alén, Vispalia, Sanjurjo, Mieres, Luis Vega... they began to participate in the first competitions.
Our canoeists are the fundamental piece of the club.
Our work philosophy is based on them, the best for the canoeists will be the best for the club.
The canoeing club is one of the most important clubs in As Pontes.
To affirm this we not only refer to results, budget or infrastructure; but also because, throughout the history of the club, most of the children and adults of our town practiced canoeing.
The fundamental values that the technical team and the board of directors use to train so many canoeists year after year are:
