The south west lakes trust rules actually state that two kitesurfers are allowed on there lakes at any one time! So, officially, kitesurfing IS allowed. However, if you call any of the lakes, the staff will tell you otherwise. I would suggest turning up with a copy of the rules and pointing out to the staff at the centre that their own rules state that you can fly. They'll probably try and charge you a launch fee but its gotta be worth a go!! Stithians might be the better option as Siblyback gets V gust and isn't as big!

Apologies for the rant Tweak! Im not a lifeguard, I kite around the SW. I just think the lifeguards are attempting to make the best of a bad situation and from my experience generally make the right calls. I saw a guy get dragged about 400m down the beach today with his kite looping and crashing repeatedly. The lifeguards managed to chase the guy down the beach and grap his kite - im sure he was v grateful they were around!

I assume you were kiting in perranporth this afternoon, I would just like to make a few comments Re your original post: "go kite over their infront of the rocks" and "go kite infront of that cliff in the huge wind shadow". In perranporth on a NNW (such as today) the cliffs don't cast a wind shadow anywhere near the sea! and on low to mid tide (the time you were out on the water) the cliffs are approx 150m across the wind from the sea! "carefull not to run over the one dog walker on the 5 mile beach" Perranporth beach is 3 miles long! "The only people in the water are kitesurfers" there were swimmers in the sea between the flags at the time the lifeguard approached you. "One of them had the cheek to say "we have given you the whole of the beach today so stay away from the flags."" The flat water pool that has appeared on the beach over the past few days is located in the banned area of the beach. The lifeguards allowed people to kite in this area as they could recognise the kitesurfers were making full use of the conditions it provided. I suggest the compromise of having use of the whole beach with the exception of the flagged off area was quite reasonable to be honest.
