The ultimate kitesurfing experience in Cumbria
For over 20 years, our Cumbrian kitesurfing beaches have been a hotspot for world champion kitesurfers, thanks to their perfect shallow lagoons and thrilling waves
Earnse bay has to be one of the most perfect teaching location to learn with the bays, shallow lagoons and small waves. In the summer months the wind blows in from the Irish sea and down from the lake District mountains - it's a kitesurfing paradise! Looking out from the surf school, you'll see the Isle of Man out to the west and the English Lake District to the North - a truly stunning and scenic kitesurfing location.
In 2019, Chris Ainsbury, a former Senior BKSA Instructor, constructed Earnse Bay Kitesurfing school and the Surfshack Café to become one of the most independent schools in the Northwest to visit and teach from. Today, we're proud to partner with the IKO, International Kiteboarding Organization aiming to inspire the next generation of kitesurfing champions. Join us and experience the thrill of kitesurfing in the best spots in the north of England!
Kitesurfing's not the only thing on offer here either! From our SUP tours and Wing Boarding on the sands to Wing Foiling at Roa Island and Piel Island there’s a wealth of attractions to explore right on our doorstep, there's something for everyone!




EXPERT TRAINING, STUNNING SURROUNDINGS
What we offer
QUALITY KIT FOR THE BEST EXPERIENCE
The equipment we use
We don’t mess about when it comes to gear. We use Peter Lynn/Crazyfly kites and Ozone Wings because they’re solid, safe, and do the job of keeping you safe. When you’re learning, you want equipment you can trust, so you can focus on getting the hang of things without second-guessing your kit.
Our teaching techniques from the safety of the BKSA to the more intense and enjoyable IKO make it fun for everyone and will give you the confidence to proceed with kite and wing sports into the future injury free (Until you sign up for the King of the Air).
Expert coaching, proven techniques, unbeatable location.
