Denzil Williams was the kiteboarder under the spotlights at the 2011 Pasty Cup, the third round of the British Kite Surfing Association South West Cup. On Saturday, Long Rock, Penzance, offered perfect winds and kites rose up in the sky for a windward/leeward course of a mile in length. At the front of the pro fleet, a good battle commenced between Lee Harvey and Denzil Williams, until Lee snapped a line during a big crash and had to be rescued. Gareth Morgan finished second behind Denzil for races 1 and 2. Lee returned for races 3 and 4 taking out the wins in windy conditions now gusting over 40mph. In the AM's fleet, Stubbie sailed well in his first ever race event to take four bullets. In the Long Distance race, a 4.7 mile course was set around Mounts Bay, starting at Long Rock and heading out towards Mousehole, across to the Promenade and back to finish at Long Rock. Lee Harvey came home first in an amazing time of 13.27 mins. Sunday came and what a difference a day makes. Now rigging their biggest kites the racers hit the water in nice sunny conditions. Suddenly a large black cloud came over and the wind died, leaving world champion Steph Bridge, as the only rider able to reach the start line. 1st Denzil Williams (Par) AM 1st Paul Stebbings (Lowestoft) Long Distance 1st Lee Harvey Surfboard Wipeout Award
