LAST month 'Aussie Kiss', the Student Windsurfing Association's (SWA) flagship event, took place at Roadford Lake, near Launceston.

This annual student windsurf festival is now in its 13th year. Outdoor and Active Roadford welcomed more than 400 student windsurfers from the SWA for the event — one of the largest student windsurfing rallies in the world and was attended by over 20 university clubs from across the UK.

Aussi Kiss was a huge success and included beginner training, workshops from windsurfing experts and a freestyle competition as well as live music and trade stands.

The weather over the weekend was much drier than in previous years, even occasional patches of sunshine, but with a good southerly breeze it meant there was still plenty of exhilarating windsurfing.

Phil Timings, outdoor plus active manager at Roadford, said: 'We at Roadford all look forward to the Aussie Kiss each year. It is such a fun event to be involved in and showcases the size and quality of events that we can host.'
