EGYPT
LONG KITESAFARI
Kitesafari is one of the trips you just HAVE TO DO if you consider yourself a kitesurfer (or want to become one). The classic formula means a week on the boat, but what we offer you here is even 12 days on the yacht! Why is that? We don’t want you to come back home exhausted – eventually you are on holidays, right? So we give you a chance to rest, recover, do yoga and make even better kite progress.
This trip is about intense training but relaxing as well. Surrounded by pure nature and quiet Red Sea we would invite you for kite lessons, PROGRESS Camp if you are an independent rider, yoga sessions, snorkeling, diving, Stand-Up Paddling, wakeboarding, chilling and chatting with a glass of wine or beer in the evening.
Kitesafari is a super comfortable journey. We stay on a yacht C-Avenue, which gives just the best quality and service possible. It has everything you need: 3 big docks where you can rest, spaceful and pretty cabins, delicious and variety food. With this boat we will discover uninhabited islands and best kite spots on the Red Sea! Honestly, you will not find such conditions nowhere else.
Dates:
22.05-2.06.2022
4-15.09.2022
Egypt - Hurghada
Price: starts from 1650€/per.
Feel comfortable on 42-meters long yacht. C-Avenue has 4 decks. 2 on the top gives us a lot of space to relax outside but in the shade – there are sunbeds, sofas and bean bags. Main dock has a indoor living room with an AC, on the lower dock we will find a restaurant, which will serve 3 meals a day. In the front of the yacht is located an jacuzzi.
Cabins are very spaceful and have comfortable beds, big window, many lockers, manually controlled AC, bathroom with toilet and shower, beach and bath towels. What is important none of the cabins is located on the lower deck, what will make your experience and the view you have from your room even better.
You can choose between 3 types of rooms:
Standard – main deck, single beds: 1650€/per.
Suit – upper deck, single beds (can be connected into double bed): 1750€/per.
Master suit – upper deck, main and biggest cabin, double bed, panoramic window: 1850€/per.
Period from the middle of May until the end of September is a perfect time to visit Egypt for kiting. Statistics say about 80-90% of windy days. Additionally, on the open sea there are always few knots more than on land, so we really have a great chance to kite every day. It is very warm so you don’t need to worry about wearing a wetsuit.
During this journey we will visit a few kite spots, like islands Geysum, Tawila, Ashrafi. They are mainly flat and shallow with amazing blue water, but you can find some deeper water too. You can play wherever you want as there are 2 rescue boats which takes care of you on the water. We plan to make one downwind trip which is optional. You are going to discover the most of the Red Sea’s beauty.
Our session starts on the island, where we pump the kites on the beach. There will also be a compressed air cylinder, which will make pumping fast and effortless. Our team will help you to set up the gear, start and land the kites, pack everything after a session. On the spot we would also have a fridge with cold drinks, snacks will be served between the main meals.
This trip is created for both: advanced riders and completely beginners. Very steady and rather strong wind, spots without any waves, currents and dangerous creatures (like jelly fishes, etc.) means really perfect conditions for learning – no matter where you start!
During Kitesafari we offer individual lessons for beginners and group camp for advanced (doesn’t mean pro ;)) riders. If you are not an independent kitesurfer yet, choose one of our packages. For those who want to get new skills, learn few tricks and just get better in kiting we propose a PROGRESS CAMP with Grzesiek.
Long Kitesafari gives you a great opportunity to improve. We would not say it is guaranteed, but we actually believe so 😉 First of all, you have a lot of time to practice with experienced instructors in perfect conditions. Moreover you have also time for recovery as the trip is longer than usual one. So instead of another kite session you can practice restorative yoga (what we give for free!) and you will not miss hours on the water.
BEGINNER COURSE:
- 4h – 215€
- 8h – 400€
- 12h – 570€
Price includes all necessary gear: kite, board, harness, helmet, vest and teaching with the radios as well.
PROGRESS CAMP:
- teaching in small groups (max. 5 ppl.)
- practice every day on water (1,5h) + video analyze of the training
- individual attitude towards each student
- learn the tricks you are dreaming of
- dedicated to people who can ride upwind
With us you will never get bored – doesn’t matter what the wind conditions are. We will organize for you:
- snorkeling,
- wakeboarding,
- foil kiting
- diving (extra charged)
There is more coming! During Kitesafari you will have a chance to participate in free yoga classes. This will help you to recover after kiting sessions and get ready for another windy day. This will be relaxing for your mind as well. The classes will be done by Marta, who is a certified yoga teacher. The level of the classes will be fitting to your possibilities and needs.
