My KSP World Tour 2011-12 Highligh video

2/18/2013

0 Comments

 
A week of being stuck in ill allowed me to edit down my 2 years competing on the KSP World Kitesurfing Wave Tour to 4 mins of action.
Had some great waves in Mauritius twice and in Peru. Shame we got unlucky in Cape Verde, Portugal & Ireland.
I'd like to thank everyone who made this possible. Especially my sponsors-
North kiteboarding, ION, Freeriders & Pasty Adventures.
For 2013 I am planning on some exciting kitesurfing trips to score amazing waves in far out places.
If the KSP goes back to some epic wave spots in 2014 I may try and compete again but for now I've had enough of sitting around and using up my valuable holiday time and hard earned money for nothing! Instead I am going to spend my holiday time searching for new kitesurf waves and concentrate on making money at home with the school & fishing in Cornwall so that I can get away next winter.
Hope you like it
Cheers

9th KSP One Eye

Round 1 = big choppy & raining
I am super pleased with my riding at One Eye this year finishing in 9th place only losing to event winner Patri in the non elimination Round 1 and then narrowly missing out to 3rd place finisher Sebastian in Round 5.
The highlights for me were beating local trials winner Jerome in round 2 as he absolutely kills it at his home spot and then beating 2 x World Champ Abel Lago in round 3.
The Barrel session on Saturday was also epic. By far the best hour i've ever had in the water doing any sport!
Out of the 2 weeks I was there we only had 2 days without wind and on these days the surf was epic. We found an amazing right on the south coast which was 8-10ft heaving barrels and the other day we surfed One eye for some amazing left hand barrels with only my friends.
On the water I used the 2013 North Rebels in sizes 6,7 & 9 and i can safely say these new kites are amazing. For boards on the smaller days I used the 2013 North Pro 6'2 and on the bigger days I used my Resin8 Shotgun 6'0 which i designed with Carl Welton specifically for One Eye after last year and it worked super well!
Surfing i used the North Pro, Resin8 Tokoro 6'3 and my trusty Ultimate Style 6'6.

Big congrats to all the winners especially Patri & Ninja for killing it and standing out from the other competitors every time they went on the water and a big up to Barrel Master Mauricio for taking out the Barrel comp. So pleased one of our crew won it ;)

Big thanks to North Kiteboarding for getting me there and to my other sponsors for their continued support- Ion, Freeriders, Resin8, Pasty Adventures.
Also thanks to the organizers for such a great event and the local crew at Club Mistral for being so friendly and helping our little crew out with anything we needed. You guys are awesome and make it such a great place to spend time ;) 

Also I'd like to thank my family and friends for all the support they give my
me both when I'm away and at home. 
I couldn't do it without you.

Loads of epic pics and vid coming soon.

Peace

Through to Round 3 KSP One Eye

9/7/2012

I am through to Round 3 here in Muaritius after some nice waves in round 2 scoring a 5 & 6.17 against local trails winner Jerome Bonieux. I was riding the 2013 Rebel 6m as it was super windy and big around 12ft with some huge sets of up to 20ft faces. In the morning for round 1 it was super choppy and I couldn't find any decent waves in the 3 man heat which left me in 2nd with Patri advancing to round 4. 
Today i am up against 2 x World Champ Abel Lago, but feeling confident. Sun is shining  and its looking good for some epic waves. Should be on around 2.30 which is 11.30 uk time.
Had some epic surfs here so far, will post pics and more tales from the tour up soon. got to go get Mauricio and Juan up now and have a session at One Eye before the comp starts.
Big thanks to my sponsors, North Kiteboarding for helping me out and making such a good kite. The 2013 Rebel is rocking.
Happy waves

Good times in Lobitos,Peru

After the KSP comp in Pacasmayo I traveled North to Lobitos for a week of barrels.
I wasnt disappointed scoring some epic surfs despite the crowds and heavy rip. This place is just built for kiting and I scored many great hours either by myself or with a few others. Along with the cheap accommodation and food, this was for sure one of my best weeks of the year! Full story to come in the mags but heres a few pics for a taste.

Coming up I have a wave clinic at home here in Cornwall next week and then I'm off to Cape Verde for the last stop of the year on Tuesday. Be sure to watch it live at www.kspworldtour.com
In the new year I am running coaching holidays-
Sal Cape Verde, Wave Adventure 19-26th Jan
Dakhla, Maroc, Freeride & Beg Wave 5-12th Feb
Sagafa, Egypt, Improver (Twin tip) 24th Feb-2nd Mar
For more details check the website http://www.pastyadventures.co.uk/holidays.html 
or contact www.sportif.travel who are dealing with the bookings for Dakhla and Egypt.

Stay safe

KSP Mauritius-One Eye Pro. Can't wait!

7/22/2011

The KSP have just released details of the upcoming event at One Eye, one of if not the best kitesurfing wave on the planet. Can't wait to get there but still in need of some sponsors to help me represent Cornwall and the UK on the highest level world championship tour. See below for the offical press release-

July 21, 2011: The inaugural Mauritius One Eye Pro is set to kick off this year’s KSP World Championship Tour and promises to deliver high caliber, action packed kite surfing. From September 23 to 29, 2011, (with a possible extension period until October 2, 2011) the world’s best kite surfers will vie for the first of three coveted KSP World Tour event titles.

The event will take place at One Eye, a world-class kite surf wave located directly in front of the Indian Resort and Spa at the base of the Le Morne Mountain, a World Heritage Site, renowned for it’s stunning scenery, pristine turquoise waters and perfect surf.  

Local organizer Patrick Desvaux de Marigny states: "We are proud to be able to bring the first ever stop of the KSP world championship tour to One Eye in Le Morne, Mauritius. This event will go down in history, not only for being the launch of an amazing tour with a big future but also for radical wave conditions that give the riders the ability to express their kite surfing styles and techniques to the max."

The KSP is excited to announce it's cooperation with some amazing local partners and sponsors, such as the main event partner the Indian Resort and Spa that agreed not only to host the event, but to also supply free accommodation for the world’s top 24 male and 12 female kite surfers.

Nadine Cameleyre, Managing Director of the Apavou group says: “The Indian Resort and Spa is scattered amidst a succession of lush tropical gardens of 7 hectare, bordered by immense, pristine beaches of white sand just in front of the surfers’ mythical spot One Eye. It is within this exceptional site that the KITE SURF PRO world championship tour event will be held in September 2011. It is with much joy that the Indian Resort is associating in this event as a main sponsor. Through this worldwide event, the Indian Resort shows its implication in the development of this sport in Mauritius and in the promotion of the spot & the destination.”

Additional partners for the Mauritius One Eye Pro include Mauritours Ltd. Travel & Tourism Company, the local travel partner that will also offer free airport/hotel shuttles for all riders, as well as Club Mistral Mauritius, the KSP logistics partner for the event.

The KSP is honored to be working with such an exemplary list of sponsors and partners and is looking forward to a very exciting Mauritius One Eye Pro and the kickoff event to the 2011 KSP World Championship Tour.

Kitesurf & Kiteworld Mags

3/14/2009

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
ps. not showing you all the article and pics, you'll have to buy the mags, loads of good stuff in both so its worth it!!

2/2/2009

0 Comments

 

Well the weather has all changed and it's been snowing properly here for the first time in quite a few years.

Checked lev this morning on way to sea to shoot the nets and was surprised to see 4ft pumping. had some massive blizzards at sea and when i got back to lev it was all white on the rocks. a bit smaller but warmer in the sea at 10 degrees and with a full load of West rubber i was nice and warm staying out of the snow and in the baz!

check the pic of team mate will b covered in white stuff and loving it!

quite why the spongers don't wear any boots is beyond me though and with how good hats and gloves are now days why would you not wear them in a blizzard?


bring on the tropical south westers again, i though we were meant to be experiencing global warming!


had a lot of fun riding the booge(Tara's idea) in the park this evening with my girlfriend Tara nailing a 360 spin. ooh yeah! if its snowing near you forget the sledge, its all about the slick bottom , cheaper the better!


have fnu
