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.

Very impressed with my new 1060 which has become my go to front wing for most conditions.
Having progressed within the Sabfoil range from W1100 to begin with, then to W945 allrounder; I treated myself to the 1060 which I have found to be faster, more manoeuvrable, with a fabulous glide.
Its great fun in the waves off West Kirby and New Brighton.
Excellent leash - brilliant release mechanism !
Bangproof 💥 Bucket hat helmet
Firstly I would like to say what a fantastic experience dealing with Northern Water Sports. 10/10…
Adam at NWS being the sole supplier of BangProof hat helmets meant that I had the pleasure of dealing with him and obtaining my new bucket hat helmet. I wanted to replace my Mystic Vandal helmet with something more stylish, more comfortable and have full protection as equal to my Mystic helmet or if not better. Bangproof provided this in all aspects and I can’t fault it. Beautiful design ordered in the Khaky colour way providing full protection from impact or bright sunlight whilst looking as cool as on and off the waves. The comfort and fit are equally as impressive, but out of the box you might not think so? Make sure you read the blurb before shoving it on your head otherwise you might think you’ve bought the wrong size. Basically leave you new BangProof to acclimatise and become more supple (I left mine in the sunshine for a bit) and then popped it on my head. Once on I moulded it to my head shape and that’s where it has formed. Now it fits like a glove and doesn’t wobble about like my old Mystic and the best part is the kids say it looks “slay” so I’ll take that even though I had to ask what it meant? Apparently It’s a good thing trust me….What a great product and one you should be looking at purchasing as there is a Cap or Bucket style and looking good on the water is one thing, but staying safe is what it’s all about. Bangproof and Northern Water Sports allow you to do both. Summer is here so get your Bucket or Cap BangProof helmet and shred hard knowing that you’re fully protected from the sun and hard knocks.

Great helmet upgrade on my gath. Firstly looks so much cooler, but is more comfortable and the brim shadows you from the sun. Great no nonsense service from NK
Very comfortable helmet and great against the sun.
First thing the service from northern water sports is second to none great prompt communication and managed to get a the bangproof bucket hat to me in time for a trip away 👍👍
Second the bangproof bucket hat is a well made comfortable helmet and having a xl head and finding it difficult to find a helmet that actually fits with out pressure points has been impossible until now 👍👍 I would highly recommend seller and product and wish both huge success !!

Glad I got this, allowed me to do quick sessions on the move in the camper and not end up with puddles in the back. Nice product 🤙🏽👌🏼
I purchased a pair of neoprene car seat covers to replace old ones and wasn’t disappointed. Good quality, easy to fit and ideal for providing protection of the seats. The anti slip backing is a gem and the fit is excellent. The process from point of order to delivery was very good although the system did generate follow up emails when left in basket. This was explained to me when making telephone contact with polite and friendly staff. Thank you.
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!!!!
Bought new Sabfoil kit, very pleased with the service from Adam and the team. Many thanks.
Northern kites are a great company and Ozone are the best kites
Very pleasant and efficient to deal with, followed up by good after sales service.
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.
