Windsurfing in Cornwall is a popular water sport taken to the extreme. And why not? The county offers some of the best windsurfing conditions in the UK, such as Gwithian, Hayle and Marazion. Cornwall also produces homegrown windsurfing talent such as world competitor Ian Black who can often be seen defiantly contorting himself into various positions high above Cornish waters, at breakneck speed.
