Kite surfing is a fast-growing new sport combining the thrills of windsurfing, wakeboarding and kite flying. The tow kites allow reaching speeds several times the speed of wind – even average skills are quite enough to reach the speed up 70-80 km/h. Kites allow both high and long jumps, sailing at various angles to the wind and even sailing to the wind. Kiting does not require physical strength – it is the sense of balance that matters here. If you went in for windsurfing, wakeboarding or snowboarding, the first steps in kite surfing could be made in one leap.

LIfting up kite

On-ground first!

The most favorable conditions for beginners are smooth water, wind below 5-8 m/s and sufficient safe space in the training area – and there is such place in Dahab. It is situated at the end of the Lagoon where the waters are quite shallow facilitating starts, and the deserted sandy beach makes it a safe place to land. The chances of being dragged into the sea are zero. The beginners’ course of kite surfing consists of 8-10 hours with an instructor dedicated to flying a piloting kite, flying a regular kite, bodydrag (i.e. flying the kite while lying on the board). As a rule, on completion of the course students master the board.

Students with advanced skills may take individual classes.

Please bear in mind that kite surfing involves a significant degree of risk both to the kiter and the neighborhood. Nevertheless, it is much safer than many other sports and provides and is an excellent thrill!
