Sunday’s open day cancelled
Wow – that was a scorcher!
THANK YOU! to everyone that helped out at the taster day today and i hope everyone who took part enjoyed themselves
Just to say we’re going to have to cancel the open day tomorrow (Sunday) as with up to 45mph offshore winds forecast – it would simply be unsafe.
Apologies to anyone who was hoping to come tomorrow….

On friday evening the BKSA are holding their Annual General Meeting at the club starting at 6.30 pm. Straight after the AGM – top kitesurf coach Jo Wilson will be giving us a talk and this will be followed by some of the latest video releases. Free drinks and nibbles provided courtesy of the BKSA during the evening.
Saturday sees the first possible start for the BKC finals with categories including mens pros, womens pros, amateur men, amateur women, Juniors (under 16) and masters. If you’ve never competed before this a great opportunity to dip your toe into the competitive kitesurfing scene. Competing is undoubtedly one of the best motivators for improving your kitesurfing skills and also great fun socially.

Youth Week update
This years Youth Week (4th-8th August) was blessed with some glorious weather allowing 115 sessions in sailing, windsurfing, canoeing, stand-up paddle-boarding and much more…
We have received amazingly positive feedback from the children (and parents) including cards and chocolates to emails and even an article in the Lynn News from a grateful parent!
We have also gained a new family membership as a result and hopefully 2 more in the near future.
The week also made a healthy profit for the club not least thanks to all the amazing volunteers – so massive thank you to Gay, Beth, Bob, Les, Jon, Julia, Dave, Dennis, Ian, Sol, Dawn, Dawn G, Graham, Bee, Nicky and everyone else who gave any of their time no matter how small – not only raising money for the club but raising a smile on the clubs future — the youth.
Last but not least – HUUUGE thank you to Tim Starling and Dave Harding without who’s energy, enthusiasm and committment none of this would have happened
Kayaking the Wash
Hunstanton Sailing Club will be hosting a BBQ this Sunday 25th to welcome home a team of firefighters kayaking across the wash.
The firefighters from Cambridge Airport are raising funds for a variety of charities including the RNLI and have received support, training and equipment from our very own Les Collinson at Hunstanton Kayaks.
All welcome – so come on down and cheer them home – the bar will be open, the barbie on – and collection tins on hand if you want to make a contribution to the chosen charities.
The team are setting off from Skegness at 0900 with a support team consisting of Rib’s / jet ski’s and hope to land at Hunstanton around 1600.
