Gollito Estredo, nine-time world champion [V]
José “Gollito” Estredo was born in El Yaque and won nine PWA freestyle world titles (2006–2018). His favourite spot, per his official profile: El Yaque.
What it is
The World of wind. El Yaque bay, on Margarita’s south coast, is one of the great world stages of kitesurf and windsurf: the trade wind blows all year and sharpens its peak between February and June. Schools teach from an early hour, the town lives from the sea, and a generation of world champions learned here.

Who receives it [Pr]
The World’s host community is the kitesurf people together with the bay’s boutique hotels. Its Community Council is constituted in the Pilot Phase [Pr] and receives the community half of the retention — the full design lives on the Sovereign Retention page.
Today the real community organization is Fundaestredo, the Estredo family’s nursery [V].
“An experimental proposal, subject to consultation with communities and experts should the State adopt the SOT.”
The Worlds are a proposal of the SOT Paraguachoa. Communities and experts define their final shape if the State adopts the system: every territorial decision is consulted with those who live it.
What it protects
Its wealth is the wind [E]
The World’s asset is the trade wind that blows all year [E] and the bay that receives it. The state of its sea and weather is published by the Green Corridor traffic light, live.
The memory it carries
The memory of the Guaiquerí people, cited by page from the Cacique’s archive.
El Yaque’s memory lives in its sea people and in a recent, verifiable feat: the generation of world champions that learned to sail in its bay. The documentary “El Yaque, Town of Champions” (2013) tells it from within. [V]
