As strong winds continue to batter the Cornish coast, one kite surfer was caught on camera showing off mad skills off Gyllyngvase Beach in Falmouth.

The kite surfer was filmed by Paul Stevens from Redruth while he walked along Falmouth seafront this afternnon in a howling gale.

The kite surfer was caught racing across the squally seas and performing some impressive take-offs. 

Mr Stevens said: "It was amazing watching him, such great skills."

The video was taken after yesterday's warning from Falmouth Coastguard Rescue team about people getting too close to the sea during bad weather.

They say they are risking not only their lives but those of the emergency teams trying to rescue them.

Currently winds are gusting at around 50mph but these are expected to die off later this evening, although it will still be windy.

So far this weekend the coastguard rescue team has had to deal with a grounded yacht, a lost dog that was about to leap into the sea at Swanpool and a man in a dinghy.

They had to close roads because of huge waves at Swanpool and a lone surfer was given words of advice having gone in at Gyllyngvase and found themselves unable to make it back to shore, due to the stormy conditions, and instead had to come out at Swanpool.
