NATIONAL WINDSURFING WEEK...UPDATE National Windsurfing Week, The Windsurfing Movie and the photography competition... Back in the eighties in seemed as if every other car had a windsurfer strapped to the roof and every pond, lake and stretch of coastline was decorated with an array of brightly coloured triangular sails. Since then the sport has taken a lower profile, but all that is beginning to change. Modern design and manufacturing techniques have resulted in equipment that is far easier to learn on, and today’s participants are taking the sport in directions only dreamed of by the original pioneers. It's therefore not surprising that windsurfing is experiencing a worldwide renaissance.

WINDSURFING AT GWITHIAN THREATENED The landowners at Gwithian are talking about introducing restrictions to all wind powered sports and horse riding on the beach from Godrevy to Peter’s Point, including rigging kites and windsurfers. This is in theory set for an introductory trial this year over a two month period 7th July to 7th September during the hours the lifeguards are on the beach. It would mean that if you Windsurf. Kitesurf. Kite Buggy, Kiteboard, Speedsail, Blokart, ride a horse or just want to fly a kite, you will not be able to.
