If you are not in Safaga, we will pick you up with a transfer boat from one of the surrounding marinas.

return trip
Now, it's "Apéro-Time", "Beer-o'clock" or just time for a cool drink: Because now we're going back to the Tornado Surf Center. Meanwhile, you can speak with others at the large table about the day's experiences or simply stretch your tired legs on the sun deck.
Our goal is:
…to give you a perfect holiday.
On our boat you spend the whole day with kiters - far away from the tourist hustle and bustle of the big hotel complexes. We anchor at the edge of the lagoon where you can jump straight into the water and get started. It doesn't matter whether you do a wingfoil training with one of our experienced instructors, rent wing equipment or bring your own material, you are always welcome with us.
Wing foiling vs. wing surfing
What is the difference between wingsurfing and wingfoiling? Admittedly, the choice of words for the new trend sport can be confusing. Let's bring light into the darkness:
Wingsurfing: Wingsurfing means moving around using a wing and a surfboard, i.e. without a hydrofoil. The wing board is similar to a SUP and has fins that help you go upwind. As a rule, wingsurfing forms the basis for then starting with wingfoiling.
Wingfoiling: Here, too, the wing is the sail to move. The board is smaller and therefore more manoeuvrable than with wing surfing. However, the essential difference is underwater: A hydrofoil, i.e. a mast with a front and rear wing. This is the "device" that makes you fly. So you can hover majestically and almost silently over the water.

Our spot
Wind statistics
Spot description
Soma Bay not only offers a lot of wind and warm temperatures all year round but it is also one of the most beautiful kite spots on the Red Sea. The area is suitable for all skill levels: beginners will find ideal conditions for learning in the approx. 2 km² large lagoon, which is mostly knee to waist deep. Advanced riders, whether freeriders or freestylers, can enjoy endless space in the turquoise waters of Soma Bay, regardless of the tides. The surface is mostly flat to choppy. In the morning, the wind usually starts off-shore from the north-west – often around 5 to 10 knots stronger than the wind forecast predicts. At noon the wind turns to "sideshore" from the north. Depending on the time of year, the wind slowly dies down in the afternoon, but can also blow through until just before sunset.
