What is Bayoud?
Bayoud is a stretch of glassy, turquoise flat water about 2–3 km off the Kitepower beach in El Gouna — the kind of empty, butter-flat riding you normally only see in kite movies. It's not reachable on foot, which is exactly why it never gets the main-spot crowd: you ride it with boat support.
How does a Bayoud trip work?
You book the day in advance at our reception, and we arrange our Zodiac rescue boat for the day. In the morning you ride out to Bayoud on your own gear while the Zodiac heads out and anchors on the spot; you ride around it with basic rescue cover, fresh water, fruit and sandwiches on board. Because the boat is booked for the whole day, you can ride back to the base for lunch and go out for a second session in the afternoon.
How do I get to Bayoud?
Riding, on your own gear — Bayoud is about 2–3 km from our beach, and the crossing is part of why the trip is advanced-only. The Zodiac doesn't ferry riders or equipment; it's anchored on the spot as your rescue cover and refreshment base.
Who is a Bayoud trip for?
Advanced, independent riders — kitesurfers, wingfoilers, parawing riders and kite hydrofoilers who ride confidently upwind and want clean, empty water with their friends, away from the busy main spot. It's not for beginners or students: if you're still learning, our lagoon and lessons are the right place.
Is it safe to ride 2–3 km offshore?
That's the whole point of the format: our Zodiac rescue boat is anchored on the spot with you for the entire session, with basic rescue included. You're never riding open water alone — the boat is your fixed reference point and your rest stop, and if you need a rescue, it's already on site.
What's on the boat?
Basic rescue cover, fresh drinking water, fresh fruit and sandwiches. The Zodiac is a rescue and refreshment base, not a transport boat — you ride out and back on your own gear. Full meals wait back at SALT, our beach restaurant, and the day format is built so you can ride the morning, eat lunch at the base and go back out after.
Can we mix sports on the same trip?
Yes — kitesurfing, wingfoil, parawing and kite hydrofoil all work at Bayoud, and one boat covers everyone riding around it. Bring the friends you want to ride with; and because the Zodiac is on anchor, other kiters from our beach can come out and ride around it too.
Do I have to book the whole boat or come as a group?
No. You can arrange a Bayoud day with your friends, but it isn't a fixed private charter — because the Zodiac sits on anchor at the spot, other kiters from our beach can come out and ride around it too. That's why we arrange each Bayoud day individually at reception rather than selling a fixed ticket: talk to us (+20 128 888 2047) and we'll sort out the day and the price.
Do I need my own gear?
Own gear or rental both work. Our rental fleet covers wings, foils and kite-foil setups — tell us what you need when you book the trip and we'll have it ready on the day.
How do I book a Bayoud trip?
Always in advance, at our reception or on WhatsApp (+20 128 888 2047). Tell us your date, who's riding and what you ride — we'll arrange the Zodiac rescue boat, the crew and the on-board refreshments, and confirm the day and the price with you.
How much does it cost?
It isn't a fixed ticket — the Zodiac sits on anchor at the spot for the whole day, and we arrange each Bayoud day individually, so the price depends on your day. Message us or ask at reception and we'll quote it for your date before you commit.
