How many hours do you need to learn kitesurfing?
Kitesurfing, despite being classified as an extreme sport, is not that difficult. The skills achieved very quickly begin to bring joy! However, everyone progresses at different times, and it is difficult to predict unequivocally after how many hours you will start sailing on the board. Whether it’s 8 or 14 hours, there’s no reason to worry – after all, it’s still not much! Learning kitesurfing is a very individual thing, don’t worry if it goes a tad slower than your friends!
If you’re just starting out in kitesurfing and want to feel for yourself the pleasure of the sport, consider a 10-hour individual or 12-hour group course. These are the most common options chosen by our students and generally the average time needed to master your first board launches! Let’s get to it! The Polish kitesurfing base located in El Gouna awaits you!
PROMOTIONAL packages: course + rental
Course + rental packages are the best choice for people who want to squeeze the most out of their trip. Using our packages, you get a week-long equipment rental package along with the course at a discounted price.

Tandem kitesurfing course
Tandem kitesurfing is a unique, modern method of learning kitesurfing – no skills are required to get started! Such lessons are recommended for people who would like to try real kitesurfing (glide swimming, jumping) without going through a full course, as well as for those who have stalled and can’t manage the transition to the next level of skill – if you can’t perform a board launch or are afraid of your first jump, riding in a tandem will take away those barriers! Tandem = double your progress!
