Kernow Kitesurf Club in School



            On the Thursday before half term, as part of Mounts Bay Schools, learning week KKC chairman, Lee ’Pasty’ Harvey gave a talk on kites and Kitesurfing to 170 year 7 pupils. With gasps of excitement as the kite inflated, all the youngsters were really keen on trying the sport and were interested in both Kitesurfing and Powerkites.

Lee gave a brief history of kites and the sport of Kitesurfing before showing the different types of kites, boards and harnesses you can use.

            With a lot of questions being asked as well as most of them wanting to have a go (teachers as well), lee in his new job role for Penwith Schools Sports Partnership as school/club links co-ordinator, is now formulating a plan to deliver power kiting within all Cornish schools as part of an after school club, with a view to the youngsters moving onto Kitesurfing through their local kite school.

 

After featuring in most issues of Kitesurf magazine for around a year, March 2009 sees me feature for the first time in both magazines at once and the same mag as Mick Fanning!

After an epic winter of waves here in Cornwall, its good to see the UK being regognised as having top quality breaks alongside far away dream destinations. Working with top surf photographers, you can be sure to see me in many more mags and websites, such as www.surftwisted.com where they are realising the potential of kites in waves and spreading the word to surfers across the world.

Been some epic days this past week and they got some cracking shots so as well as this months, make sure you buy next monts issues!

Happy Riding

Lee
