George is the man to know at the beach loves fixing and tweaking things.When we first started kitesurfing on the Wirral it was just Dave up at West Kirby being a keen fisherman he had spotted the benifits of leasowe bay so he approached the lifeguards asked if it was ok for us to kite @ Leasowe,Melvyn and George started to kite there closely followed by Dave quickly realising we had found the best kite spot in the North West things led on from there.George knows every inch of this beach and is more than happy to advise you on when and where is best to kite.Also if u kill your kite he can reincarnate it for you.
