“Over 20 kiters from Sharm el Sheikh flying on the water. It is our downwinder trip, kiting Nabq from top to bottom!
Our Nabq downwind trip lets you kite the whole length of Nabq, from top to bottom, with the Sinai mountains on one side and the Gulf of Aqaba all around you. It’s one of the best ways to experience kitesurfing in Sharm El Sheikh.
Why go downwind?
Going downwind is a completely different experience. Because you’re riding with the wind, the kite’s power is reduced, and you don’t need to edge the board hard. As a result, you cover long distances quickly while you relax and look around. It’s also a great chance to learn new skills. For example, you can try toeside riding and long carved turns without worrying about losing ground.
Adventure and sightseeing
The trip combines adventure with spectacular scenery. You’ll ride a long stretch along the Nabq Protected Area, with the high mountains of Sinai in view. Toward the end, the coastline changes to beautiful beach resorts. Finally, you arrive at our home beach at Coral Sea Waterworld.
How the Nabq downwind trip works
We meet at The Kite Bubble at 7:30 am on a windy day. From there, a bus drives us about 30 minutes upwind into Nabq National Park. Our team then helps you set up your kite on the beach. Before we start, we brief you on every detail of the trip.
Safety on the water
Safety is built into every part of the trip. Our team includes beach helpers and IKO certified instructors, and we carry a first aid kit. In addition, a rescue boat with an IKO instructor on board keeps an eye on every rider. On the water, one instructor guides the group from the front, while another rides behind everyone. That way, you can relax and enjoy the ride.
