Epic Badger

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!!!!

Best wing on the market for the money?

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.

Lieuwe Falcon

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

Unbelievable!!

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. 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

Ocean Rodeo / Mustang Survival - Dry Suit - SOUL

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 loving my suit .

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.
