Set on the very tip of the Peninsula with stunning views of the Welsh Hills and the Dee Estuary, this man-made saltwater lake is fast becoming a top wing surfing destination. It is 52 acres in size, 5 foot deep and totally enclosed, making it an exceptionally safe space.
Safe directions from North North West (NNW), round through West to South South East (ESE). North East and East Winds are not advisable as the wind comes over the land causing gusty conditions and the Marine wall and houses cause a wind shadow
9 Day Forecast. Generally, only the next 3 days can be trusted.
Tides above 8.9m creates a confused chop with waves over the wall and bouncing off the walls. Jettys can also become submerged and difficult to see.
The jetties are supported on metal posts, so watch your hydrofoil winds on theses to avoid damage.
The depth of the water next to the sea wall becomes shallow. So make sure you stay 5 meters away from the wall.
Advisable to wear boots as there are weever fish and some razor clams.
Most people use 70cm - 85cm masts.

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.
