Crossing Scilly-Cornwall

Kitesurf crossing from the isles of Scilly to Cornwall!

Andreya Wharry is leading an attempt by the world’s top ten women kitesurfers to make the first kitesurf crossing from the Isles of Scilly to the Extreme Academy at Watergate Bay, Cornwall.

May 2004"Dreya hopes the 70 mile crossing, which is planned for May 2004, will raise over £10,000 for charity and make the Guinness Book of Records for the largest kitesurf crossing.
Individual crossings have been successfully made across the Irish Sea and English Channel, but this attempt is a double first in both the route and the number of riders taking part.
Joining Dreya, who is ranked ninth in the world, will be current world champion Cindy Mosey (New Zealand), world no.2 Ingrid Kollbichler (Austria) and world no.3 Petra Goeschl (Germany/Holland), along with six others.
“This route has never been done before and coming in at Watergate Bay was the obvious choice – it’s where I learned to kitesurf, and it’s home to me,” said an enthusiastic Dreya. “I was also the first person to kitesurf in the Scillies so this crossing is a natural link between the two.”"
