Send Email Send Email
 
Hi guys, my names jamie I just joined this group, I'm a beginner and I got
myself a best 3m to learn with, and a mbs board. I have learned how to ride/kite
and I am ready to upgrade my kite. I have been on the net and I have picked out
the  hq apex as my number one pick, I want to be able to fly and do tricks. Any
ideas for me guys? I don't live near a beachor a mountain so I'm kinda limited
on riding style. Help me!! I need a good land kite needs to be depowerable!

Have a look at some of the ozone foil kites, or if you have the money
the flysurfers are pretty sweet (my main land kite is a 15m psycho 4,
the pulse is probably more forgiving though).

So i know nearly nothing of this sport, i have been researching for the past
couple weeks but am still unsure exactly what to go with. I need a trainer kite
for a 160 lb. individual that will be used in 10-15 mph. winds. Any help would
be much appreciated, i can't wait to get out there. thank you for your time.

My 6 meter flysurfer Titan would probably be to small for your weight on the
water. I also have a 8 meter slingshot, however that one is just a foil kite for
snow or board kiting. It would be a fun kite to learn how to fly in lite winds.
Where are you located?

My 6 meter flysurfer Titan would probably be to small for your weight on the
water. I also have a 8 meter slingshot, however that one is just a foil kite for
snow or board kiting. It would be a fun kite to learn how to fly in lite winds.
Where are you located?

Hydra will be your best bet. But to be truthfull take a kitsurf lesson there
should be schools there.  Cheaper and safer in the long run.

Hi all just a note to let you know I started a new Kitesurfing Website a couple
months ago and just launched the Session Reporting Application for Kitesurfers
to enter the reports about their kitesurfing on and off the water reports. To
get things started I am giving away $50 to one random entry and $50 to the best
report submitted that month all summer long.

http://www.waterhound.com/win-for-your-water-sports-session-reports.html

Also starting next week a brand new newsletter loaded with Kitesurfing content
launches, pun intended. Looking forward to hearing about all your good times,
and maybe some bad ones too.

Thanks ahead of time and let me know anything I can do to make the site better
serve the Kitesurfing Community.

I would like to purchase a good trainer kite for kitesurfing. I will take some
lessons to learn how to properly control this kite on land, as well as practice
on my own. This will not be the kite that I will use once I start taking courses
on the water. I would like this trainer kite to have the power to pull me on
snow (kite skiing) if possible.

I'm currently quite interested in the HQ Rush III 350 Pro. My second choice
would be the HQ Hydra 350. Can someone recommend me other options, or comment on
my current choices? I'm looking for something safe that has similar safety
features as the HQ trainer kites and also something in the <$400 price range as
I will need another kite for the actualy kitesurfing in the near future.

Thanks!

Of course the choice is yours, but in my opinion the ground training time is
very short and its no worth buying new equipment for that period. Instead
use your instructor's equipment and get a decent kite once you go to water.
Or else you can consider searching second hand market.

Good luck

KITESURFING HOLIDAYS - HURGHADA


THE LURE

KITE RENTAL AND EQUIPMENT RENTAL IS THE NORM!

In the UK it is practically impossible to rent kites, (nice work H&S) so anybody
considering the sport must shell out for the kit, or borrow from a friend. In
Hurghada, and El Gouna, all the necessary equipment can be hired, at very cheap
prices.

Year-round wind and sun add to Hurghada's appeal as the liveliest kite surfing
destination in Egypt. The shallow, flat waters and amazingly cheap packages mean
that this has long been a favourite with kiters through out Europe.


THE SET UP:

Although various areas can be ridden, the kite surfing focuses around three main
sites:

From Hurghada Marina there is company that operate kite surfing trips out on the
Red Sea sand bars located 10 mins from the marina by speedboat, or 45 mins on a
ketch. Day courses or weekly courses are available, and are perfect for
beginners as well as intermediate, veterans, and pros. The company is taking
advantage of the growth in the sport, and offer a 5 star service, with brand new
top quality equipment, which is replaced on a regular basis (with participants
regularly buying the equipment they use). Wakeboarding, as well as kiting is
available in the pristine unpolluted waters, as the sand bars are located off
shore, and not blighted by detritus and rubbish that seems to collect on the on
shore sites. A maximum of 8 kites at a time will be transported and flown at any
one time, so beginners do not have the headache of negotiating traffic which can
hamper learning. Dutch/German rider Robbie Feldman's company Waterkite
exclusively uses North equipment, which is one of the sports most innovative
companies. English is spoken perfectly, and is the teaching language however
courses can also be undertaken in Dutch, German, and Russian.

Waterkite is a kite surfing school offering you professional teaching in one of
the best kite surfing locations worldwide, namely Hurghada in Egypt. WaterKite
isn't tied to specific spots, but rather chooses the most suitable location for
YOUR level and goal, - according to their motto "YOU DON'T NEED A DESTINATION!".
In addition to that, they will introduce you to some of stunning landscapes of
the area. Furthermore, they have access to some secret top spots, which we can
easily reach by means of our modern 150 hp power boat which are specifically
customized to suit kite surfers' needs. Waterkite strictly follows VDWS
guidelines and therefore guarantees your safety to a maximum degree and most
efficient teaching methodology. Our instructors are very experienced as they
have worked, amongst others, in Germany, the Dominican Republic, the
Netherlands, Italy, Cyprus and Egypt for years. Hence they will guarantee
beginners as well as improvers both smooth and perfectly tailored teaching
procedures to suit needs.

Apart from the teaching they also have complete packages on offer for you. Those
booking a kite surfing course with us will enjoy an all-inclusive-package
similar to that of a club holiday. We offer you a 24 hour service and entertain
you with numerous other activities, such as visits to clubs, bars, restaurants
or sightseeing. Which weekly activities are chosen in particular completely
depends on YOUR choice and liking.

An additional special service only our centre has on offer is a shuttle service
from the airport in Hurghada. If you book with us, you will personally be
welcomed and picked up from the airport. They also cater for those of you
wanting to avoid the hassle of organizing their flight and accommodation: They
book flights for you or/and refer you to the best local hotels and apartments.

The Magawish Hotel is home to the Colona Watersports centre. The spot is
well-known for its sand bar approximately 400 metres from the main beach, with
cross/cross-onshore wind from the left. The launch area is pretty small but
shouldn't put learners off as there's a sandy bottomed lagoon upwind of the
centre with plenty of space for lessons and to practice those early maneuvers.
From the main launch there is plenty of space to ride both up- and downwind to
avoid the crowds. Dive boats use the channel between the launch and the main
riding area so ride sensibly here. When it's exposed, the area on the lee-side
of the sand bar is super-flat, and the surrounding areas are flat to choppy. It
can get busy here as it's the prime spot to load the rail for tricks and jumps.

Jasmin Village and Grand Seas hotels both house Tommy Friedl Pro Centres. The
kite surf beach is located between the two hotels; an 800 metre long sandy beach
that offers plenty of space to launch kites. The water depth gradually drops
away; inside, the beginner area is roughly the size of a football field, about
half a metre deep. Beyond that there's another drop off to about one and a half
metres. Roughly 400 metres from the shoreline, the water shelves into the open
sea. The areas are tidal and create differences of about half a metre. In
extreme low tides beginners move into the slightly deeper areas between the
shallows and the open sea.

WIND & WEATHER:

Forces four to six most of the year, with the most consistent months being March
to October. Air temperatures can get up to 40°C in the summer and 23°C in
winter.

WATER:

The water temperature in Egypt ranges from 20 to 28°C.

OFF THE WATER:

Plenty of hotels to choose from with great packages from Europe. Excellent
childcare facilities in some allow you more time on the water! You may not find
everything in town to your taste, but its all here. There are plenty of non-kite
surfing activities including wakeboarding, windsurfing and diving. A ferry
between Sharm El Sheikh and Hurghada makes an Egyptian road trip (by taxi) a
distinct possibility. Head to the Valley of the Kings and you'll be amazed by
the underground tombs and ancient artwork.

DON'T MISS:
• The Valley of the Kings
• Bazaar in Hurghada old town

AIRPORTS:
Hurghada (HRG) airport is about 20 minutes drive to town and 10 mins to hotels
at the kite spots. Taxis are fairly cheap and extremely plentiful.

KITESURFING HOLIDAYS - EL GOUNA

THE LURE

30 minutes North of Hurghada lies the resort of El Gouna, a lattice work of
waterways, housing, hotels, restaurants, bars and a world class golf course. On
top of all that it offers some great riding, again best in the summer but with
year-round potential. El Gouna is the gem in the crown of the Red Sea Riviera, a
reputation reinforced by the collection of expensive looking yachts in the Abu
Tig Marina and the sweep of classy hotels. El Gouna has become a favourite with
those keeping non-kite surfing other halves happy, with families or those
looking to spoil themselves, though not necessarily their bank accounts.

THE SET UP:

There are two main kite surfing areas. The Movenpick is a five star hotel with a
kite boarding centre on their private beach. The launch has plenty of space with
a designated kiting area to keep swimmers and kiters apart. The wind is
predominantly from the north, making it cross/cross-on from the left and there
is a wide, shallow area that leads out to the deep water channel. This spot is
ideal for those with kids who can be left with the day care team and for
non-kite surfing partners who want to lounge by one of the many pools, soak up
the rays on the beach, go diving or go spa while you kite surf. The area is
smaller than the other spot, Mangroovy beach, but tends not to get so busy
because the beach itself is private. You don't have to stay at the Movenpick to
use the centre. Mangroovy beach is at the northern end of El Gouna and is a
shallow water haven. Cross-shore winds from the left and a gentle shelving beach
means that there is a good amount of shallow water for beginners as well as
deeper water on the outside. There's plenty of space to go upwind if you're
competent and a number of centres on this stretch of beach to pick from.  Both
areas are tidal, more so in summer than winter, and this definitely effects the
riding as a beginner when a little more care needs to be taken and getting in
can be more difficult. It's worth finding out what is happening with the tides
when booking. Booties are recommended as coral underfoot can cause some
discomfort. As with most of Egypt there are people that will help launch and
land your kites and even put them away for you!

WIND & WEATHER:

In terms of reliability, Egypt really is up there for wind, and El Gouna doesn't
let the side down, with force four to six most of the year, with the most
consistent months being March to October. Air temperatures can get up to 40°C in
the summer and 23°C in winter.

WATER:

Like the rest of Egypt, the water temperature remains very warm all year.

GETTING ABOUT

El Gouna was built with the tourist in mind, so everything you need is here and
nowhere is more than five or ten minutes on the little electric golf
buggy-cum-buses for which you can buy a weekly ticket for about $2. There are
loads of restaurants suiting every palate and pocket, and there are plenty of
bars, though in comparison to Hurghada, things are much tamer here and you won't
be raving in a club 'til 6am. There are a whole range of accommodation options
as well, and even the cheaper end offers a good standard of room. There are a
huge range of activities including wakeboarding, horse riding, go-karting, yoga,
tennis, fishing, diving, horse riding, quad biking, volleyball and more in the
area.

DON'T MISS:

• The World Class Golf Course.
• 5 star Hotels and Restaurants.
• Yoga Lessons and Spas.

looking to spoil themselves, though not necessarily their bank accounts.
>
>THE SET UP:
>
>There are two main kite surfing areas. The Movenpick is a five star hotel with
a kite boarding centre on their private beach. The launch has plenty of space
with a designated kiting area to keep swimmers and kiters apart. The wind is
predominantly from the north, making it cross/cross-on from the left and there
is a wide, shallow area that leads out to the deep water channel. This spot is
ideal for those with kids who can be left with the day care team and for
non-kite surfing partners who want to lounge by one of the many pools, soak up
the rays on the beach, go diving or go spa while you kite surf. The area is
smaller than the other spot, Mangroovy beach, but tends not to get so busy
because the beach itself is private. You don't have to stay at the Movenpick to
use the centre. Mangroovy beach is at the northern end of El Gouna and is a
shallow water haven. Cross-shore winds from the left and a gentle shelving beach
means that there is a good amount of shallow water for beginners as well as
deeper water on the outside. There's plenty of space to go upwind if you're
competent and a number of centres on this stretch of beach to pick from.  Both
areas are tidal, more so in summer than winter, and this definitely effects the
riding as a beginner when a little more care needs to be taken and getting in
can be more difficult. It's worth finding out what is happening with the tides
when booking. Booties are recommended as coral underfoot can cause some
discomfort. As with most of Egypt there are people that will help launch and
land your kites and even put them away for you!
>
>WIND & WEATHER:
>
>In terms of reliability, Egypt really is up there for wind, and El Gouna
doesn't let the side down, with force four to six most of the year, with the
most consistent months being March to October. Air temperatures can get up to
40°C in the summer and 23°C in winter.
>
>WATER:
>
>Like the rest of Egypt, the water temperature remains very warm all year.
>
>GETTING ABOUT
>
>El Gouna was built with the tourist in mind, so everything you need is here and
nowhere is more than five or ten minutes on the little electric golf
buggy-cum-buses for which you can buy a weekly ticket for about $2. There are
loads of restaurants suiting every palate and pocket, and there are plenty of
bars, though in comparison to Hurghada, things are much tamer here and you won't
be raving in a club 'til 6am. There are a whole range of accommodation options
as well, and even the cheaper end offers a good standard of room. There are a
huge range of activities including wakeboarding, horse riding, go-karting, yoga,
tennis, fishing, diving, horse riding, quad biking, volleyball and more in the
area.

In June 2010 , we will open for 2 weeks a kitecamp at a secret kitelagoon next
to Dahab/south sinai/Egypt

You can bring you own equipment or rent kites from Core kites and Carved or
Deluxe boards.

We will travel from Scharm el Sheik airport by minibus about 1 hour to Dahab and
carry on with camels about 1 1/2 hours along the shore.
Direkt at the lagoon we're going to sleep in basic huts on the beach - campfire
camping flaire - food will be organised by a bedouin and for sure kiting all
day.
In windstatistics over the last 15 jears, we had an average of 90 % of wind at
least 15-30 knots 4 hours a day - take small kites with you ;-)
For the ones that want to learn or improve there kiting skills this will be a
perfekt trip you will never forget.


The huts will be on the beach next to the kite lagoon with a mattress and
blankets, it will be pretty warm and therefore it will be although possible to
sleep outside under the stars;
there will be toilets and we will provide a sweet water shower.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be Bedouin style buffet and changing main
course either fresh fish or chicken, fruits and vegetables, rice or potatoes and
self-made delicious Bedouin bread and Bedouin side dishes ( be suprised ;-)
  A Bedouin will take care about all the food and will cook for us daily. If you
want other refreshments than water, coffee or tea; there is an restaurant at the
lagoon were you can buy f.eg. cola or sprite.

Get ready for the upcoming season in Pedasi, Panama, January to March
We get 3 months of good wind, 15-25 knots, It is the summer time which means no
rain and the pacific ocean water are hot.
The Tuna fish are waiting for you to fish them out of the "tuna coast" all along
the beach that's when you get a non windy day.
If you like party and carnival, then you should come on February 13th-16th for
the biggest carnival of Panama in the town of Pedasi for 4 days of carnival,
kitesurf, stand up paddle surfing and surfing.
30 minutes from Pedasi you can find Playa Venao, a beautiful bay with perfect
waves starts at 0.5 meter at January and going slowly up to 2 meters on July
(offshore wind - sorry, not for kitesurfing), but perfect for surfing beginners
and pros as well.
On the beach you can find 2 bar-restaurants and good vibes!
Check out our website for more info about Pedasi, kitesurfing in Pedasi and
stand up paddle surfing in Playa Venao.

Hope to see you at the beach

I'm still monitoring the list.  Not very difficult - hardly any traffic
so no need to shut it down.  How are you doing Rick?
