"Hopefully it will be windy!”
said
Adam Jones, sales and marketing manager with Mutiny Kites and one of
the UK’s premier kitesurfing instructors in kitesurfing . You could
normally bet on a decent gale to blow onto the beach at Seascale,
but slow drizzle was not quite what he had been hoping for.
Nevertheless, Seascale car park was packed for Kitesurf Copeland as
families from all over the borough came to enjoy a community
festival focused on kitesurfing and the beach. At least thirty
adventurous spirits got Kitesurf taster session from North West
Kites surfing, and there was enough breeze for scores of children
from St Bees and Gosforth to keep their kites in the air, specially
made for the event at workshops in their schools. All day and
children pitched their skills and
daring
against the climbing tower brought in from Keswick Leisure Centre.
Many families joined in a sandcastle building competition creating
not castles but living creatures, like a truly gorgeous mermaid and
Sonny Richards' Nooka, a cross between a dragon and a lizard, the
eventual winner of the competition.
Copeland Council’s youth engagement officer Emma Dickinson and
leisure partnerships officer Christopher Davidson led the workshops
and prepared the massive free beach event for all the family.
Councillor Hugh Branney, portfolio holder for leisure, culture and
youth promises that that the kites will be flying again, with any
luck in a fresher breeze, on one of England's most exciting
coastlines.
