George Haddad

My course at this school was excellent, conducted by a very experienced instructor and in a stunning, quiet location. I progressed quickly and noticed considerable improvement in my kite control in particular. I look forward to returning one day.

George was an incredible instructor. He quickly assessed the level I was at and showed me what was necessary to get me to ride independently. Super knowledgeable, patient and overall nice guy. Thanks George for all your help! The rest of the crew at Tribe Watersports are also amazing. Shout out to Ben and Ellie for running such a smooth operation!

My girlfriend and me were invited to a wedding in Israel and we wanted to combine that trip with a kitecourse. We found a lot of schools on the Israelian side but locals told a that it would be rather crowded due to holiday season. But we also found one school on the Jordanian side of the Red Sea and thought, why not go on a trip to Jordan? And we never regret our decision. School: The school is rather a small one with super friendly staff and a family-like touch. Good equipment, nice beach and a relaxed atmosphere. During our one week stay we had good thermal wind every day. The spot itself is amazing with a lot of space on the water and rather few other kiters. Kitesurfing is still at the very beginning in Jordan. Trainer: George is an amazing kite instructor. Very experienced, super motivating and it was a lot of fun to improve my kitesurfing skills with him. In the couple of lessons, I took with him he really got me on another level.

I had imagined Kiteboarding to be something easy to learn and master, but I was mistaken. The level of focus and balance required is something to take as a challenge. But with accomplishing that challenge, one day, comes personal growth. That growth, as I witnessed in my instructor's capabilities, will show that you do not need a boat to traverse and explore the sea.

George is a wonderful kitesurfing instructor, and H & S is a great school that has the newest equipment and super helpful staff. George is very knowledgeable, experienced and patient. He makes sure your safety comes first and plans for all different scenarios even when the wind and the environmental circumstances are unpredictable. I would highly recommend it.

An out of this world experience, George is a wonderful patient instructor extremely professional with excellent follow-up, outstanding center with excellent safety measurements and perfect management,Jane was extremely helpful from the very beginning and so was the general Manager Sarah. Thank you for accepting me is such a wonderful community - Kitesurfing community 🙏🙏🙏

The H&S kite center and the spot in Aqaba was fabulous. I tried kite surfing at Lefkada in Greece and Dahab in Egypt and did not enjoy the experience and was about to give up on the sport. If it was not for one trial at H&S in Aqaba I would have stopped trying to learn kite surfing. The whole experience from owners, to employees, to coaches are very helpful and the fees are very reasonable.

in Jordan i have got my first lesson. In this lesson i was studying how to carry kite and control it. my teacher was giving all information and i wsa studiyng very fast. In this school i can take trenning kite and prictice my skills. I thin this school is the best for children to study kiting!

I spent 2 days in Aqaba for diving initially but i found myself learning kite surfing because of windy conditions - what a chance! H&S Water Sports Academy is the perfect center with lovely people. I had the opportunity to meet George and I learned basics of this water sport in a beautiful environment - the red sea. George is an experienced kitesurfer and teacher - calm and easy going guy he taught me first how to prepare my equipment (the kite, the lines, the control bar etc.) - how to analyze the wind (direction and strength) - what are the safety procedures and more. After this first class i met him directly in the water and i learned how to fly a kite (kite control, body dragging, control and re-launching) - it was really intensive but i loved it. I appreciated George's patience and approach with his clear instructions - i felt at ease quickly. Through him (one-to-one coaching), i could manipulate the kite myself guided by his voice and felt independent hour after hour. Finally I managed to get up twice and ride along for a few seconds. I had a blast! Thanks again George (you deserve 5 stars as instructor) and H&S Water Sports Academy crew - I can't wait for the next session!

HS Water Sports Academy is a super place to start learning to Kite surf due to the uncrowded beach and water, and the very friendly staff that make you feel welcome immediately. As a beginner it was a luxury to literally have the sea to myself, with the exception of a few professional kite surfers around. This enabled me to feel at ease, and to be able to fully focus. George was a wonderful teacher; calm, patient, easy going and really fun to learn from. Being out of my comfort zone, he made the whole experience really positive and enjoyable - so much so that I'm now hooked and eager to keep learning more. I would highly recommend anyone that is a beginner to start learning at this school, and I certainly hope I will return in the future, as the small community of kite surfers are a really great group of people. All in all a really wonderful and fun experience. Thumbs up!
