Great introduction to Kitesurfing
Kitesurfing always seemed quite inaccessible; expensive and dangerous.
But when I looked into classes at Soul, it seemed feasible, and my experience there was really exceptional - a very professional outfit, where I felt my safety was prioritised at every step of the way. I never felt out of my depth. For example, when I was beginning to feel tired towards the end of my session, my instructor Morne would notice this before I even said anything and would suggest we finish. I appreciated this, as there is always a temptation to keep pushing myself but when I'm exhausted is when I'm most likely to injure myself.
I would highly recommend any beginner to come to Soul to learn to Kitesurf. The conditions there were excellent with very consistent wind the whole week.
Thank you guys!

My kitesurfing course
It was a dream for me to take the course and to try the kite, and the dream just came true!
It was a great experience for me with the amazing instructor Saad Mahran.
Saad is so professional and always during the course cares about safety which is one of the most important things of the course.
I would really like to thank all the team for the great help and the friendly treatment and special thanks to Saad.
I can't wait to come again soon! :)
Thanks once again.

Focused attention made me progress rapidly
The 2 hour session was ideal for me because it initially reviewed my performance and tweaked it, giving me specific tasks and techniques to focus on until I could do it every time. We then built on it with more skills. The encouragement from Matt was very motivating too and overall the session was invaluable!

Feeling kiteboarding as a science..
With Audrius Bukauskas in Soul kitesurfing, Ras Sudr, Egypt, you do not have to train in Europe; It’s all there. You just need a pen and notebook to write down the plethora of information he gives you every minute. He is like a professor in the college of kitesurfing.

Determined to get on that board!
This was my 3rd time to travel to Egypt and go to Soul2 Kitesurfing, the first time, I lazed on the beach, the send time, I only had a chance to learn for one hour over four days (no wind). This time, there was enough wind, and I was determined to control the kite, get on that board, stay on, and stop safely. Ahmed helped me understand and comprehend the many nuances and moving parts of this sport with ease, he broke down the steps I needed to take to get up and stay up on the board in small bite-size pieces and allowed me the chance to practice again and again. In one day, Ahmed and Nezar (another amazing teacher) gave me the tools and confidence I needed to really get a handle on this amazing sport. The facilities at Soul2 are spot on, the atmosphere is relaxed, fun, welcoming and safety is everyone's top priority. I simply can't say enough good things about this place and all the team at Soul2 or 1. If you are into kitesurfing and have not made the trip to Soul2, you need to. If you are not into kitesurfing and simply want to relax on an amazing beach with great facilities, then you have to go to Soul1 (both Souls' are a short walk on the beach from each other). This is a very affordable and memorable bucket list trip! Now I'm off to buy my kitesurfing equipment.

Soul Kitesurfing
I had a great time with Reinart, being attached to a 10 metre kite is intimidating but Reinart made me feel at ease and comfortable very quickly, he taught me all about the safety steps to take if things go wrong before even getting near a kite and then ran me through it again when starting to get hands on with it. With his instructing it wasn’t long before kite control started to come together and I was attempting to get on the board. By the end of my course I was riding both directions and Reinart and even the local kite surfers were cheering me on and giving me support. It left me with the bug and I will be carrying on with Kitesurfing. I can’t recommend Soul and my instructor enough, the location is amazing the staff are really friendly and so are the local kite surfers.

Mythical level lessons.
I had a fantastic time throughout my lesson. The instructor - Justin - was extremely friendly, patient, understanding, and ludicrously attractive. It's like Hathor and Thor made the sexy time and out came this Greek god of water sports. Seriously. I found out in more ways than one why they call it a 'wet' suit. If he wasn't such a good instuctor, and the lesson made to be so interesting, I fear I would have risked a case of sexual assault.
10/10 will 'come' again.
