Why ride with us

We are not a big school that processes people. Two students per instructor, shallow water you can stand in, and coaching that stops when the wind stops.

The Red Sea gives us flat lagoons and steady northerly wind for most of the year. Our job is to make sure you actually use it — with the right kite for the day, someone watching the water, and an honest answer about what you can achieve in the time you have.

    This is more than just an experience — it’s a feeling, a moment, a long-lasting beautiful memory. And not just that: the team and staff were amazing, making sure everything was taken care of. Thanks for this, and it sure won’t be my last time.

    Really nice spot, good for everybody, from beginner to pro because of the conditions there — steady wind, not crowded. The instructors are very friendly and teach really well. After kiting you sit around with the crew, drink coffee or good tea and talk about your practice and what you can do better the next day. Pick-up service from the hotel was the best, and for free, and always on time. If the wind is not good you don’t go out, so you don’t pay for bad conditions — that’s great. I definitely recommend it. The kite rental was also very good, nice equipment.

Frequently asked questions

Everything people usually ask before booking. If yours is not here, message us — we answer quickly.

All questions
How do I book a kite course in Hurghada?
Pick your course, choose a date and number of participants, and submit the booking form. We confirm availability by email or WhatsApp, usually the same day, and tell you your meeting time and transfer pick-up. You can pay a deposit to hold the place or settle in full on arrival — the payment methods currently accepted are shown at checkout.
Do I need to pay in advance?
A deposit secures your dates in high season, which is when courses fill up. The balance is due before your first session. If a gateway is not switched on for your preferred method, we will send you payment instructions directly rather than take card details through the site.
What is your cancellation policy?
Free cancellation up to 48 hours before your first session. Inside 48 hours the deposit is retained and the balance is refunded. No-shows are charged in full. Sessions cancelled by us for wind or safety reasons are always rescheduled or refunded.
When is the best time to kitesurf in Hurghada?
Hurghada gets wind for most of the year. The most consistent period runs through the summer, roughly May to September, with spring and autumn also very reliable and more comfortable in terms of air temperature. Winter has more variable days but still delivers plenty of sessions.
Is the water shallow enough to learn?
Yes — that is the main reason people learn here. The lagoon stays shallow a long way out, so when something goes wrong you can stand up and reset rather than swim. The prevailing northerly wind also arrives side-onshore, which is the safest direction for teaching.
I have never kitesurfed. Where do I start?
Start with the Beginner Kite Intro — three hours covering kite control, safety systems and equipment setup, with no board involved. Almost everyone then continues into the Level 2 & 3 course, which is where body dragging and your first rides on the board happen. The minimum age is 8.
