NORTHERN FREESTYLE
POWERKITES

What others say about their experience of training with Northern Freestyle................

Lara from Widdrington   The instruction was really good and clear - I felt very comfortable with the whole process of getting a kite up and flying - and being able to easily relaunch it. I think it is really worthwhile to learn how to use the kite first and I would definitely recommend the course to friends.

Peter from Darlington As a complete novice to powerkiting the course was incredibly informative giving detailed instruction of how to fly with confidence and safely. Extremely enjoyable would recommend it to anyone who wants to try a new experience. I'm sure it has saved me hours of frustration by speeding up the learning process.

Philip from Newcastle  Excellent day out, excellent value for money. I felt slightly nervous at handling a powerkite having only experience of a small delta kite, but with the excellent theory in the morning when it came to actually flying I had no problems and got an awful lot out of it. 

Michael. An excellent course, providing a full understanding of the principles of powerkiting. Can't wait for my buggy lesson.

Sophie from Newcastle  Any anxieties I had prior to coming were dispelled before we even hit the beach. Excellent teaching - excellent fun! I am a powerkite convert!

Sue from Durham   Great, have learnt enough organisation, safety and skills to be able to go out and practice with a powerkite and now feel, that I am in a position to progress. Excellent instruction and progression, just enough to give you the basics and maintain an interest before moving on. Varied and excellent equipment. 

John from Sunderland   Now feel confident handing a kite. Excellent tuition from a safety point of view. Very friendly. Very helpful. Comes highly recommended to anyone from total beginner onwards.

Mike from Sunderland   Very good day, learnt a lot. Hope to try to buggy next.

Jake from Hauxley Great! It's the best sport I've tried so far.

Paul from Newcastle  Excellent! Learnt skills which I never thought I would be doing on day 1. Now feel very confident with a kite and confident to go out on my own. Excellent tuition as well.

Hannah and Rebecca from Newcastle. Powerkiting is really fun. We have learnt the basics and the important things about it. It has been a great experience and I would love to do it again.

The day was good - we learned important safety procedures for managing powerkites. I now feel that I am able to control and fly a powerkite safely. A very worthwhile day. The instruction was thorough and easy to understand.

Ryan and Jennie from Bedlington

Well worth it, excellent training really helped us get to grips with flying. I would highly recommend this course to anyone interested in kiting.

A fantastic day. Los of handy hits and enthusiastic encouragement throughout the course. I will definitely be recommending the course to my friends.

Rupert from Felton  An excellent experience with confidence and skill building. Well worth it. 

Jeremy and Adam -  from down South somewhere who came on a father and son weekend "Wings" course and ended staying five days. The weather was a mixed bag though and the picture is of the dynamic duo hiding from the rain under a Flexifoil board during one of the downpours.  They had a great time, traded in old stock  and bought loads of new gear.

A letter from the leader of a family group on a powerkite experience day

Dear Nigel, Nadia, Richard and crew,

Safe to say that our whole family - all 18 of them including the hangers on! - had a fantastic day last week with you all.  With the added bonus of entering a newly discovered crime scene and briefly appearing on the regional evening news (my back disappearing into your house!), the day was set to be an exciting one and it didn't disappoint.

We were grateful to be briefed about how to work the kites with confidence and safely (!), which meant that the rest of the day was a never-ending discovery of how much fun it could be to fly a kite and get blown along the beach in the blowcart.  The day was definitely one of the highlights of the holiday and we will plan to be back for more when we come up to the coast next year - by which time you will no doubt have worked out different ways of exciting us.

I speak for all of us when I say a thousand thanks to you and all your team for such a genuine and friendly welcome, an action packed day of fantastic variety and whole heap of fun.  All I ask is that next year you keep us away from your shop - it's far too packed with tempting things to play on!

Have a great season and we all look forward to seeing you next year.  We will keep an eye on the website to see what became of the bones found in your garden.

Christophe and everyone.

Following a Wings weekend that suffered from the July high winds and Day 2 had to be rescheduled.

To all at Northern Freestyle:

We would like to thanks you for the wonderful weekend we've had over in Amble. Even though the weather wasn't great, both of us have learnt many useful things which will improve our kiting!.....Looking forward to seeing you in August,

Anya & Peter

Ruth hasn't actually said anything yet - but the pictures, taken on a very windy day speak for themselves! Ruth was on a fast track one to one session that turned out to be wicked fun and definitely not for the faint hearted.
