2024 Kitesurfing, Kite Foiling, and Wing Foiling Instruction

We offer the highest quality IKO- and VDWS-certified kitesurfing, kite foiling, and wing foiling instruction on Egypt’s Red Sea—whether you’re a beginner eager to try kiting or wing foiling, an advanced freerider looking to dial in new tricks, or a seasoned kiter who wants to check out foiling, our instructors will help you achieve your kitesurfing and wing foiling dreams.

At Dragonfly Kite Safaris we offer four main types of instructional courses: Introductory, Refresher, Progression, and Kite/Wing Foiling. All of the courses have curriculum and duration that has proven to be highly efficient and effective; the structure, however, is fully customizable for you—private or group; mornings or afternoons; one day or every day; your equipment or ours. We will work with you before the trip to personalize an instructional course that perfectly meets your riding goals.

Introductory

Waist-deep, warm water, sand bottoms, and clean, consistent wind—our kite safari locations are absolutely ideal for learning. We begin with learning about kite equipment, wind theory, and safety systems. Very quickly and safely we get you out on the water, learning how to fly and control a kite, launch and land the kite, water relaunch of the kite, and body dragging. After that, it’s time to get on the board and ride! Our instructors will work with you on riding skills crucial to becoming an independent kiteboarder, including water starts and upwind riding. Our Introductory course will get you out riding quickly, safely, and confidently.

Refresher

Has it been a while since you’ve been on the water and you’d like to refresh your skillset? Or maybe you’re not completely confident in riding on your own yet and would prefer to have an instructor alongside? We’ve got you covered. This two-hour Refresher Course will keep you progressing as a kiteboarder, safely and smoothly. We will review the basics and then concentrate on personalized instruction—from upwind riding to water re-launch to transitions—to quickly get you back to the level you were at and beyond!
