Kite refresher in El Gouna — a focused route back to the water.

Semi-private means 2 students of similar weight share one kite. If we can't pair you with a same-weight partner, you have two options: ride private 1:1 at the private rate, or keep the semi-private price and ride 1:1 for the equivalent (shorter) water time. We tell you up front, so it's never a surprise — and you never pay more than you booked.

If you've ridden before — you can body-drag, water-start and have ridden away from the beach at some point — the refresher is for you, even if it was years ago. If you've genuinely never kited, you'll learn faster (and have more fun) on our Zero to Hero beginner course instead. Not sure? Tell us your level on WhatsApp and we'll point you to the right one.

There is no fixed refresher length that guarantees confident or independent riding. The 4-hour plan is designed for a focused diagnosis and tune-up; the 6-hour plan creates more coached time for upwind control and transitions. Your starting level, the skills demonstrated, wind and actual conditions determine the result, and we explain your current level after the session.

Yes — a long lay-off is exactly what this course is for. In the first roughly 800 m knee-to-waist-deep teaching area, many riders can stop, stand and reset while confidence returns; the exact lesson zone follows the tide and conditions. We start with a quick diagnosis so we meet you exactly where you are now, not where you were.

No — gear and beach access are included in the course price: kite, board, harness, helmet and wetsuit, with no separate Kitepass. Our 250+ kites across 3–21 m² give the team broad options to match your weight, level and measured conditions, subject to availability and safe rideability. Independent rental is released only after you demonstrate controlled upwind riding and self-rescue; local rules, current conditions and equipment availability still apply.

Your booked hours never expire — that's our Wind Guarantee, so a calm day never costs you. And the wind shows up: from our own weather station, about 77% of days a year are rideable.

In summer, boardshorts or a bikini. In winter the daytime air sits around 22 °C, so you'll want a full wetsuit (we provide it) — not boardshorts.

Upwind and your first controlled transitions, absolutely — that's the natural focus of the 6-hour course. Once you're riding upwind comfortably and want to push into jumps, freestyle or foil, the next step is Open Hours coaching with our team — just ask and we'll set it up.
