Beach Side Location in New Brighton, Wirral | Wallasey Beach.
Just a short drive from Liverpool, Manchester, Chester, North Wales and the Midlands. The Wirral peninsula offers a variety of spots that covers nearly all wind directions and provides lots of flat water areas and lagoons. The majority of our lessons take place at Wallasey Beach in flat water lagoons, where the vast waist deep water couldn’t be more perfect to take your first steps into kitesports.
Northern Kites HQ is based on Coastal Drive within Wallasey Beach Club. We are situated 100 meters from the beach, forming the perfect base for our kiteboarding and water sport services. We have a classroom, chill area, changing facilities, bar, beer garden, BBQ and ample kiteboarding kit for demo.
We welcome a friendly local community who are as excited as us about riding in the Norths kiteboarding capital!
Safe directions from South West through to North East. Wind from the East can be gusty due to traveling over Liverpool.

It is not advised to kitesurf 2 hours on either side of high tide due to very choppy water and lack of beach.

Northern Kites are the only licenced operator
Great stable board as a beginner.
Lots of help from Adam
Bought the badger to progress my riding (had a north cross prior) and noticed a massive difference on first time out, super responsive, fast turns and can charge down the line!!! Highly recommend!!! Top advice and assistance from Northern Watersports to help me choose this board!!!!
Northern kites are a great company and Ozone are the best kites
I have tried a multitude of high tier wings over the past year, and the Vayu's are my favourite by far. I opted for the Blue in 3.5m. I have had a few sessions on it now, and I am blown away by the performance. There is so much power, control, and maneuverability in this wing, it handles the gusts with ease, has a crazy good upwind angle, and is insanely stiff and light, thanks to the aluula section where the front leading edge meets the strut. I also opted for the boom for this 3.5m, but not for my 5m Aura X, as I wasnt sure on the idea, but now I regret not buying one for the 5m, as its definitely a must for winging now.
after nearly 3 years of riding a well known and very very good carbon TT i decided it was time to have a new TT. Many searches and opinions gathered over a few days and i had 3 in the basket - one however was consistently out front ...so i got a Falcon.
This TT is magic ! it suits my riding perfectly - jumping , going fast and carving about - the Falcon i cannot get to skip out on carves - it just grips and grips heel side to toeside and vice versa its on rails.
Its super soft in chop with just the right amount of flex when needed and oh boy is it light ! and there's the downside - be careful on the beach because as its so light it can get blown up the beach- superb board ! Only tip I'd have is to try and get the black fins - mine are white and the leading edge of the fins are stained brown - probably a result of blasting around with seaweed in the water
Great Service and always like dealing with a Supplier you can trust, thank you for my recent order and making sure it was delivered on time - Rare these days however I know that Adam will ensure a great price and great service.
Coming from another carbon board, the Lieuwe Falcon is in another league! Instantly felt grippy, fast and playful with effortless pop but the main difference was how easy it was on my knees in chop compared to my other carbon board. Lieuwe have got the flex absolutely perfect!! Can’t wait to get more sessions in now. I thought the Shotgun was good years ago but this was definitely the right decision to buy.
Big thanks to Adam at Northern Watersports for the fast order and setting up the board. 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Loved this board from the first second. Grips the water to give amazing jumps.
Great price, super fast delivery, will definitely be back !
I love my C-skins beanie, it’s perfect for winter sea dips
Great good quality shirt to join my kite surfing collection
I have not actually used this yet on the water, but the quality is great along with the Fit. Very easy to get on and off with the bonus that the dry suit does not actually look like most and infact looks and feels very good
I'm now very happy with the suit and service from Northern Kites . I did find the neck seal far too tight and my efforts to stretch it enough didn't work. Northern diver did a great job of putting in a replacement seal and now it fits perfectly. I've no hesitation in recommending it overall.
