“I had a fantastic kitesurfing lesson with Northern Kites and couldn’t recommend them highly enough… Graham was an awesome instructor, patient, encouraging and brilliant at explaining everything clearly.”

What our students say.
“A amazing place to learn to wing foil, Nigel and Simon are brilliant and look after you on the water. Anyone thinking of booking lessons with Northern Kites shouldn’t hesitate.”
“Pump foil lesson was great. The coach, Adam, was very patient and the lesson went on much longer than the allocated 2hr slot. It was great fun and I'd definitely go back.”
“If I can do it, so can you!”Rachael's story — learning to kitesurf on the Wirral
