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. All communication was very clear and professional. The changing facilities were very clean and spacious. They lent me a wet suit which I initially thought it's a lovely day would I need this? And oh boy, did I need it. The marine lake wate was still very cool. If you're looking to learn or try out a new watersport I'd have no hesitation in recommending Northern Kites - top draw!

Great kite school! 10/10 would recommend. If you are thinking about learning kitesurf this is probably the best place to start! All the instructors are amazing, Pete, Craig, Gray, Adrian...everybody really patient and helpful. The course is great value with all the gear included. Once you have finished, Adam can also help you figuring out what gear is best to get. Amazing vibes!

Brilliant from to top to bottom: set up, location, quality of gear, quality of lesson, everything. Also a lot of fun! We have had lessons in a few different places but this was by far the best. Highly recommended!

FAQs

How long will it take to learn?

Give us a quick call to see which would be best or book onto the Learn to Wingsurf lesson to see how you get on before booking a package.

From our experience, these are the approximate times to become independent:

Experienced Kite Foiler : 4-5 Lessons

Experienced Windsurfer : 3-5 Lessons

No Experience : 5-7 Lessons

Is wingfoil hard to learn and do I need to be strong?

Winging learning curve is exponential. The more lessons you get in, the easier it will be.

You don't need to be strong to learn to wing, but climbing onto the board and holding onto the inflatable wing will make you tired after 2 hours.
