Learn to kitesurf at Wallasey Beach on the Wirral — under an hour from Flintshire and Wrexham, and an easy run along the A55 from the North Wales coast. BKSA-qualified instructors, all equipment included.
Wind and weather decide the best lesson days. Forecasts are most reliable 3–5 days ahead, so we post openings in our WhatsApp group as soon as conditions line up — you then book the slot that suits you. Read the booking process first so you know exactly how it works.
North Wales has some great kitesurf beaches — Rhosneigr, Rhyl and Talacre among them — but many are exposed, have strong tidal currents or no lesson provider on the beach. For learning from scratch, a lot of riders from Flintshire, Wrexham and the coast make the short trip across the Dee to Wallasey instead.
We base lessons at Wallasey Beach Club, with changing rooms, showers and a café, so you can arrive, change and get straight on the beach.
Most beginners start with the Intro Day, then carry on with 1:1 or two-person lessons.
4–5 hours, max 2 people. Beach skills with trainer kites, then your first water session.
Your confirmation 1–2 days before the lesson includes the exact meeting point: Wallasey Beach Club, Coastal Drive, Wallasey CH45 3PZ.
“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.”
“I've been putting off doing this lesson for so long — I shouldn't have!! An awesome kitesurf school, with laid back vibes and a very professional team.”
“Can’t recommend Northern Kites enough! The whole setup they have is fantastic, and from day one, the team has been incredibly welcoming and full of helpful advice for a new rider like me.”
There are beaches to kitesurf in North Wales, but for beginners from Flintshire, Wrexham and the North Wales coast, Wallasey Beach on the Wirral is often the easiest place to learn — under an hour from the border, with a shallow lagoon and lessons booked around the forecast.
Once you're riding independently, Rhyl, Talacre and Rhosneigr on Anglesey are popular. Each has its own tides and hazards, so ask us which suits your level before you go.
No. The Kitesurf Intro Day is designed for complete beginners and starts on the beach with trainer kites before moving into the water.
All kitesurfing equipment is included, including wetsuits. Bring swimwear, a towel, snacks and water.
Lessons depend on the tide and wind. Slots are loaded into the booking system around the tides and you book the one that suits you. We post wind updates and any open slots that haven't been booked in our WhatsApp group, and you can check the forecast on our lesson pages.
Safety comes first. If conditions aren't suitable, your lesson is moved to the next good day at no extra cost.
Buy your lesson, tell us when you're free, and we'll book you in when the forecast lines up.
