Around 250 schoolchildren from Hayling Island schools attended for an afternoon of talks about kitesurfing, wind energy and general health and fitness from pro-kitesurfer Lewis Crathern.
Havant MP Alan Mak, who attended the event, said: ‘We are very proud to have the Virgin Kitesurfing Armada here on Hayling Island. I came last year and it was a fantastic atmosphere.’
