Onboard of the M/V Kite Adventure, you live in a floating hotel - simple and comfortable in a familiar atmosphere. Each of the eight twin-bed and two double-bed cabins is set functional and has its shower and toilet. Fan, power sockets (230 volts), and storage space are standard. The boat goes back to the marina in the evening, so overnight guests will have the opportunity to dine at one of the surrounding restaurants or attend one of the weekly party events at Safaga.
Program
The boat is a mobile kite and wing station and will take you out every day to the kite spot. Soma Bay, Tornado Surf Center's operational spot, offers a lot of wind and warm temperatures all year round. You will spend the whole day with kiters and wingfoilers - far away from the tourist hustle and bustle of the big hotel complexes. Tornado Surf Center will anchor at the edge of a huge lagoon where you can jump straight into the water and start kitesurfing or wingfoiling.
During this camp, your IKO-certified instructor shows you how to fly a kite, how to do body-dragging, and finally, how to get on the board. In the evening, the Kite Adventure returns to the jetty in front of Tornado Surf Center Center in Safaga. You might enjoy what the small town has to offer or chill with the other guests on the boat.
Duration of lessons
- One student = 45-minute session
- Two and more students sharing the instructor = 60-minute session
Daily schedule
- 08:00 Departure from Tornado Surf's center at Safaga
Every day, the group will change from there to the kite and wing spot in Soma Bay. The half-hour trip takes you along the beautiful coastline with a bit of luck you might even see a class of dolphins.
- 08:30 Arrival at the spot
As soon as the boat is anchored, you can get ready for your first kite or wing session of the day. Your instructor will support you in deciding on the equipment. You check the wind strength, grab your equipment, pump with the compressor, and off you go: Have fun. As soon as the boat is anchored, your lesson can begin. Your instructor will familiarize you with the first steps such as safety, and spot knowledge, and off you go.
- 12:30 Lunchtime
What could be nicer after an extensive kite or wing session than dedicating yourself to lunch? Help yourself to the lovingly prepared buffet with various dishes, freshly prepared every day in the onboard kitchen. Recharge your batteries for the next round in the water.
- 13:00 Relax and chill
Use the time to relax on the sun deck or chill in the hammocks and bean bags under the shade roof.
- 14:00 Second session on the water
In the afternoon, Soma Bay awaits you in beautiful light. The perfect conditions for another session and practice a new trick or take another lesson. And if something goes wrong, the rescue team keeps an eye on the area and will help you with the Zodiac in case of need.
- 15:45 Downwinder
Depending on your level and the wind conditions in the late afternoon, you can ride the five-kilometer route back to the center in Safaga as a downwinder, accompanied by a boat.
- 16:00 Return journey
Now it is time to enjoy "Apéro-Time", "Beer-o'clock" or simply a cool soft drink: Now you are heading back to the jetty at the Tornado Surf Center.
- 19:00 Dinner
The chef serves dinner either as a plate service or in the form of a buffet. Review the day with the other guests, look at the starry sky on the sun deck, and enjoy the evening.

Location
Abu Soma is located 50 kilometers south of Hurghada and is a location of numerous kitesurfing, windsurfing, and diving centers. The contrast between the turquoise blue sea and the barren desert landscape makes this area an impressive backdrop. The pleasant temperatures and the steady winds make Abu Soma a perfect spot for kitesurfing and wing foiling all year round. The wind is usually around one or two BFT stronger than in Hurghada, because of the thermal effect from the desert.
Especially from April to October, the wind is very steady and constant. A few kilometers north of Abu Soma is the "world-famous" Soma Bay. This bay has an area of several square kilometers and offers beautiful scenery and perfect conditions for water sports. Tornado Surf runs with the boat a mobile kite or wing station and school - with the home spot in the middle of Soma Bay. The platform on the boat for launching or landing saves you long walks to the beach and even less pumping the kite or wing in the sand.
In the city of Safaga, you will get an impression of the colorful life of an Egyptian fishing village, and you can easily get in touch with the very friendly locals. Here is one of the oldest ports of the Red Sea, Port Safaga. It was established already under the Egyptian Pharaoh Sahure about 4,000 years ago, as a base for trade and exploration in the Red Sea. Today, it is the main base for the Egyptian Navy for patrols in the Southeast of Egypt.
It also serves as a starting point for pilgrimages to Mecca, the export of aluminum, and the import of wheat. Accordingly, the city is dominated by an industrial complex and cargo district. Outside of the hotels and resorts, the village has few further attractions to offer to the tourists. Along the coastline of Safaga, many inner and outer reefs are very popular for divers and snorkelers.
Food
You will be served daily breakfast, lunch, dinner, and seasonal fresh fruits as well as unlimited refills from the water dispenser included in the price. As soon as the chef's magic words "Food is ready!" ring out, the salon becomes the meeting place for hungry water sports enthusiasts. Guests will find a range of different dishes at the buffet. Tornado Surf Center is happy to cater to vegetarian, vegan, lactose, or gluten-free diets or other allergies.
At the bar counter, guests will find the right drink at any time of the day: In the morning, there is an energy kick with Nespresso coffee or tea. Then soft drinks to cool down, for example, Coca-Cola, Sprite, Fanta, or Schweppes. Snacks are available for in-between enjoyment; be it sweet with Twix, KitKat, Bounty, Snickers, and Mars or salty in the form of crisps. And if it is time for an aperitif afterward, Tornado Surf Center offers cold beer, wine, and cocktails.
