 Pasty at the Bluff Really pleased to see Gwithian or more specifically St Ives Bay which includes our beginner kitesurf teaching spot of Sandy Acres as well as Gwithian and the Bluff where we run more advanced coaching, has been voted the No.1 place to Kitesurf in the UK by Red Bull.
Even better is the fact that our other spot of Marazion came out at No. 3, proving that there is no better place to learn or improve your kitesurf skills than here in West Cornwall. Read the full article here- http://www.redbull.com/uk/en/adventure/stories/1331758180222/10-top-uk-kitesurfing-spots_

 Despite the crazy weather with torrential rain and hosepipe bans up country, its been almost perfect for learning to kitesurf down here in Cornwall.
With small waves and North to West winds, Gwithian has been amazing with all the beaches around St Ives bay offering up amazing kite conditions. In the southerly winds we have been having, Marazion has been perfect, although some waves last week have stirred up a bit of weed making for some line tangles and the students learning about the importance of staying away from weed and cleaning your lines after your kitesurf session. The beach have now been cleaned by Cornwall Council who use the weed to fertilize the farms around Penzance. With great winds forecast again all this week and the beaches pretty empty, there has been no better time to learn to kitesurf in Cornwall, so make the most of this summer and get in touch today to book in your extreme adventure with Pasty Adventures, West Cornwalls only British Kite Surfing Association recognised school. We also pride ourselves on offering the best value kitesurf instruction in the UK concentrating on giving intimate instruction to the students. To do this we recommend 1:1 instruction so that you can learn at your own pace. We also offer the 'Learn with a friend' option for all of our kitesurf courses as kitesurfing is a really socialable sport and great to learn with your mates. 2:1 is the biggest class size we run, unlike most other schools who operate on a 4:1 basis. We believe this is unfair as you spend a lot of time hanging around and we want you to learn quickly, while having an amazing time and feeling like you are getting amazing value. Kitesurfing is an expensive sport to learn but we feel it is worth every penny and want you to feel this right from your first lesson! We can also sort you out with some great deals on new equipment thanks to local shop Westcountry Watersports in Truro and our sponsors North Kiteboarding so there has been no better time to get into the Worlds fastest growing extreme sport. 
Despite all the increases and numerous comments from shops when I pull up in the Pasty Wagon we are not putting our prices up for Kitesurf lessons in 2012 at Gwithian and Marazion.
Show your support and sign the petition to stop this tax and keep the best food at a reasonable price we can afford down ere. http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/32044 Well after all that coldness we now seem to be back to normal and have been in the water most days. We've already had a couple of cracking south coast swells which saw loads of people surfing at Marazion while I scored some dredging barrels at Perranuthnoe. Praa has been firing a couple of times and Leve has been fairly good when not too chunky and saw a sweet kite day. Also been down Gwenver a few times as well as Gwithian, Towans and Perranporth. Lots of driving but its been worth it and nice and warm now its back above 10 degrees as its meant to be! Be sure to like us on facebook and check out some of the pics from New Years Eve in St Ives, which was a blast as always. If the weather keeps getting warmer we will soon be open again for wave clinics and intermediate/advanced coaching with beginner lessons starting when we return from Cape Verde. See ya in the water!
