“Hastings is a really good place to learn kitesurfing, it’s always windy and gets me excited about ‘bad’ weather.

“We have many beaches and a really nice community. the local spot is up at Bulverhythe but on special occasions I kite at the harbour arm in front of the RNLI boat house, however, this is not a beginner spot.

“Water sports are a family pastime so I get lots of support, although of course my mum and grandparents worry.

“When doing such things as jumping the wall. it’s really important to know your limits and be confident in your skills. before trying such a thing.”
