In the event of no wind on the saturday we will move to sunday if the forecast looks good. If the forecast is really bad on the wednesday before we will reschedule to another time.
You should have previous experience of waves but do not need to have ridden them with a kite, however you should have ridden a surfboard with a kite prior to the clinic as we will be focusing on perfecting you wave technique.

We had a great day Kitesurfing at Marazion Cornwall yesterday, Saturday 14th Jan  for the KKC Frostbite gathering. With 2012 kit available to test from North, Slingshot and Ocean Rodeo and a SE wind blowing at 20-25knts the 40 or so kitesurfers that came along put up with the cold 6 degree temps on the beach and had some great times in the water boosting some big airs and learning some new stuff by watching some of the pro riders who came along to help with the demo  kit. I even went on the Twin Tip and boosted some massive airs on the new 2012 Fuse 10m.
We then all went back to Lodeys for a chilli and mulled wine/cider while watching the days action on the big screen, thanks to Mel from Splashography.

The next club meet is in March at Watergate for the AGM  followed by a big party.

Our 1st Kite wave clinic of this winter went down in deepest Cornwall on the weekend just gone, 12/13th Nov with great success. 5 guys traveled down from as far as Ipswich & Hayling Island to be greated at Gwithian on Saturday morning to perfect 4-5ft waves but unfortunately no wind.
Some of us jumped in for a surf before we got Pasties and recoveined at Marazion at 12pm to await the forecasted se wind. With small waves and the breeze filling in we kicked off with a board talk, showing the differences between all the 2012 North surfboards.
We then pumped our 12s and went for a quick wave ride before the wind dropped slightly and we were back on the beach for a tacking talk followed by an on water demo. We then postponed until the sunday.
As soon as it got dark then wind filled right in (typical) and sunday dawned with 25-30 knts and 2 ft waves at Marazion. A full day followed, covering riding tech, getting out, Gybing, Tacking and strapless jumping, with everyone leaving happy, tired and with plenty to practise.
We received some great feedback, such as; 'Best £60 I've spent in a long time'
Big thanks to Joe from JNP Events for doing the photos. All the pics of the demos and the guys ripping are availble to buy their website- http://jnpevents.co.uk/photocart/ 

Our next clinic is on the 26th Nov @ Gwithian and there are currently 3 spaces available so be quick at just £60 for 6 hours. contact me by email lee@pastyadventures.co.uk

At Pasty Adventures we now have the full range of 2012 North Surfboards available to demo and so far I am super impressed with all the boards now being nice and light. 

The Wam is the allround model, suited for strapless as well as strapped riding, the 6’0 is
amazing for riders over 80kg while if you are 70-80 the 5’10 and under 70 the 5’8. I prefer the thrusters set up, but the quad option does give you more drive in onshore conditions.

The Kontact is aimed at big wave riding but it also works really well in onshore (which was a big surprise to me) due to
  its narrower shape allowing you to lay down full speed carves without bouncing out. It is also real fast and smooth in choppy water. If you like going fast and carving big cutbacks into the pocket, in chunky onshore conditions then
  this is probably the board for you.

The Whip this year comes in 2 sizes and I’ve found it performs best when ridden with straps. The 5’8 has a fair bit of volume and is good for over 80kg riders and the 5’6 under 80kgs, who mostly ride strapped in onshore or cross on waves up to head high, if you ride in bigger stuff, I’d recommend the Wam.

 The last 2 boards are the X Surf 5’11 and Nugget 5’0 which I haven’t had time to get on yet but both look really exciting as strapless boards. The X Surf is going to be my board for strapless fun in not ideal waves up to head high while the Nugget is a chop and small wave fun strapless jumping board.

If you want to demo any of the boards I will have them in the van when I’m back or email lee@pastyadventures.co.uk

All the demo boards will also be available to test on our wave clinics and coaching holidays this winter.

The autumn seems to have suddenly kicked in and has brought with it the long awaited wind. The result is perfect kitesurfing weather at marazion and gwithian and with the schools gone back the beaches of Cornwall are now a lot quieter making september the perfect time of year to learn to kitesurf in cornwall.
Pasty Adventures have just taken new stock of 2012 North kites and boards so be one of the first people to test out the latest kit with a kitesurfing lesson at West Cornwall only BKSA recognised school.
We have also recruited pro surfer and kiter, Richie Sills who along with Lee Pasty will be running wave clinics at Gwithian in November. The school is planned to stay open right up until Christmas and we have also organised some exciting coaching trips abroad for the new year. Be sure to check out the details on the holiday page.
Stay safe and see you on the water in West Cornwall, the UKs premier kite destination.
