We will also be organising several informal competitions through out the year in- Course Racing, Wave and Big Air for those that want to experience the thrill of competition in a fun environment.

In addition we are talking about some organised trips and possibly coaching days. At the moment, the most talked about trip idea is the Scilly Islands.

The next set of planned events are some friendly competitions, namely Course Racing and Wave events.
Racing

A Race series on a couple of weekends at 2 different venues-

Course Racing
Details of the first event below
St Austel bay (par) with the help of Porthpean Sailing club and Mounts Bay (marazion) with help from MBSC.
Thinking 3 races at each venue with 4 races counting towards the Overall Result.
This needs interest to run as well as a few volunteers to help with time keeping etc.
We already have rescue boats and committee boats lined up but if anyone can offer rescue cover or whatever any help will be appreciated.
If you are interested email chairman@kernowkitesurfclub.co.uk ,subject -course race and include contact details (mobile no.) and KKC member no.
There will be prizes for Top 3 Overall, 1st ladie, 1st junior, 1st TT, 1st Surfboard as well as others so plenty for all. There will be a small entrance fee to cover costs but the more interest the cheaper it will be, £10 probably for both.
Wave
Starting from October we will be running a wave series consisting of 3 seperate days riding at the best spots possible around the county. The format will be wave jam style (as the windsurfers use) where you get an alloted time to perform and the rest of the riders judge and decide who wins/goes through to next heat.
The Jam will happen only on good forecasts which will be decided on thursdays to run either sat or sun with the actual location being decided on the day and format depending on numbers/conditions but all wave events will be filmed to avoid any arguements on who is ripping the best!
Register by emailing chairman@kernowkitesurfclub.co.uk ,subject -wave event and include contact details (mobile no.) and KKC member no.
Your best 2 results will count towards the Kernow Wave Cup with prizes for top 3, ladies/juniors (if enough entrants) and various others. There will be a small entrance fee to cover costs but the more interest the cheaper it will be, £10 probably at most.

Overall prizes and videos will be awared at our party/agm in Jan 2010.
If anyone wants to video and has a good camera, please let me know.

Beach Meet Up - Sunday 6th December, Perranporth

Nice to have seen so many of us on the beach. Good effort considering it was up to and over 30 knots, rained at times and not that warm. There were regularly over 10 kiters on the water and a few peole with cameras helping with the mulled wind and mince pies. If you have any photos etc, send them in to rory@kernowkitesurfclub.co.uk for the Web site.

The next event is going to be in the first few months onf 2010 and aims to link in with the club AGM.
