So I'm here in Mauritius for the 1st stop of the KSP World Tour and what an amzing place it is here in Le Mourne on the south west tip of the island paradise in the indian ocean. Unfortunately I went out the comp in round 2 as wasn't able to find a decent 2nd wave and kept getting closed down on as i pulled into the barrel but the forecast is looking amazing and it looks like they will run a super session or best tube ride on the weekend so still plenty to come and stay tuned for the finals today with myself in the commentary booth at www.kspworldtour.com
I am so impressed with the set up here of flat water inside the lagoon and 2 waves outside on the reef that I am looking at running a trip here next year in conjunction with my sponsors for this event www.sportif.travel
cheers

Kitesurfer, Lee joins the Worlds elite

Lee Harvey aka Pasty from Penzance, Cornwall has been selected to compete on the Kite Surf Pro world tour. An extensive voting process was initiated by the International Kiteboarding Association, involving National Kite Associations, the panel of judges and wave riders committee, the IKA industry partners and the world’s kitesurfing media who were asked to submit their Top 15 male and Top 8 Female kitesurf wave riders. These are then added to the 7 pre qualified male riders bringing together the World’s Top 22 male and 8 females to battle out for the 2011 World Kite Surfing crown in the best waves on the planet. The only other UK rider to be selected was 3 x Women’s World Wave champion, Kirsty Jones from Wales.

Lee says; ‘I am so stoked to be recognised as one of the best wave riders in the world with a kite and can’t wait to fly the Cornish flag at the best spots in the World. To be listed alongside the sports superstars, is amazing and gives me extra motivation to train hard and represent my country as best as I possibly can. Hopefully I’ll be bringing the World title home to Penzance for Christmas.’

The first stop of the tour is in Mauritius in September, then goes to Peru in October and finally Cape Verde in December where the World Champion will be crowned in the famous right hand point break of Ponta Preta.

Lee is now in need of sponsors to help with the travel costs. If you are interested or can help, please contact lee by email- lee@leepasty.co.uk to discuss which level of sponsorship is best suited to you or your business.

Check out this vid from the 2nd stop of the 2011 PKRA Kitesurf Wave World Tour featuring Lee Harvey.
Didin't win the event but got the best wave surfing 1:34 on the vid.

Today is my first day back after 31/2 weeks away on the PKRA World Tour and what a glorious day it is. After being in the desert in Dakhla, Morrocco then the desolate landscapes of Lanzarote and Fuerteventura its so nice to wake up at home in Penzance to the sun shining, birds tweeting and all the nice flowers and plants in the garden. Looks like the surf is pumping too so going to get a Pasty and head to the beach! 
We are now fully open for all lessons so please contact me for any more info by phone 07814501920 or email lee@pastyadventures.co.uk
Looks like we are going to have perfect weather for learning to kitesurf at Gwithian over the next week and we still have some spaces for courses and lessons in the afternoons so get in touch quick and put some adventure into your life.
Remember to like us on Facebook where I will be uploading all the pics from my trip and I also keep up to date reports of the conditions here in West Cornwall.
