The Redcar Kiteival, held up north as you may have guessed in Redcar, the Tees Valley, was blessed with a southerly thermal wind which kicked in each day giving the land crew and the race competitors in particular something to get stuck into.

I am running a BKSA Powerkite Instructors course on the 10th – 12th July at The Surf Sanctuary; the course is a mixture of class room theory and group work and practical work on the beach with the kites in the air.

It’s been a while since I updated the blog, didn’t realise how long it had been…18 days; terrible!
 Righto, the first significant event of the last three weeks was the BKSA Kiteival Round 1 at Swansea. I won’t give you all the deets on who won what, because you can find all that on the BKSA [...]
