Happy Kite Dahab - Review
Pros:
- instructor was professional, experienced and very friendly
- same for the other staff
- nice spot with shallow water, good for learning
- nice, clean, sufficient equipment
Cons:
- old equipment
- spot with strong gusty wind, with frequent change of direction, no ideal for beginners but manageable (in May)
- lot of scratches and cuts from underwater corals, stones etc., also no ideal for beginners if you fall too often

Tony is very open and sociable guy.
Tony is very open and sociable guy. He is always ready to give advice or consultation (including outside of class time). He can find an approach to different students and explain the same thing in different ways (all people are different and they need an individual approach). Tony helps riders on the water who are having difficulty (he brings boards or things that have flown away, like a cap, etc.). He was the initiator of watching films about kiteboarding several times. I think it develops and strengthens the kite community.

The most skilled and caring instructor
Tony Mikhailyuk is an instructor, who, along with being a totally advanced kitesurfer himself, sees all the mistakes of kitesurfers of any level, including mine - beginner's, and helps get rid of them, motivating students to go on with this kind of sports. He's calm and patient, always has positive attitude, in a good mood, never raises his voice - just a perfect instructor)) having had 25 hrs of private lessons before, I started stably going only with him. Definitely willing to learn with him more, when I get a chance)

The greatest experience in my life
It’s one of my greatest achievements of life: I started making jumps from the very basic level in less than two weeks studying with my kite instructor Tony. My progress appeared to be really amazing: from now on I can Kite freely, easily navigate kite, make turns, jumps. It’s hard to believe that all this skills I acquired so quickly and in the very effective and friendly way. Thank you very much Tony!

Zero to hero course at Red Sea Zone El Gouna with Tony Mikhalyuk
Prior to the course I had no kiting experience.
The spot - Red Sea Zone is a Cabrinha supplied base in El Gouna, Egypt. Out of 10 days 8 had a 10+ up to 26 knots wind. The spot is convenient for beginners thanks to a long shallow plain of flat water. The spot has a learning area designated where you can practice safely. The base is spacious with equipment storage, lockers, changing rooms, bathrooms and a bar serving cold beer and meals. There is a compressor to inflate kites. The beach boys are helpful and there is a rescue boat.
During the course I've learned a lot thanks to my instructor - Tony Mikhalyuk. He is a kiter with vast experience and a passionate tutor. He managed to create a pleasant atmosphere while keeping things very professional. Emphasizing safety he chose the right equipment for the conditions and the lesson topic. The time spent on the water was always productive which resulted in my very satisfying progress. At the end of the course I was able to ride upwind and I was making first attempts at turns.
I strongly recommend both the Red Sea Zone base and Tony Mikhlayuk.

First steps to a long journey
I have made my first steps in kite surfing at the Red Sea Zone with Tony as instructor. The school is prepared for giving a helping hand to beginners, offers advise , help on site with equipment , on the beach and while in the water . People in the reception are always caring and friendly. My instructor Tony has been very professional, patient and supportive. I appreciate his communication style which is very precise in technical aspects yet also calm and empowering. He made me feel that despite all troubles I can make it and I will make it when I try and try again . Tony never makes you feel bad when you make mistakes but he would rather encourage to see what was wrong and how to change it . He provides security in the water and always observes if the student is well , has power to continue and if the wind isn’t too strong etc. I am thankful for these lessons !

Absolutely cannot fault them
I have spent 8 years and tens of thousands of miles travelling the world watching my boyfriend kite surf. Never have I dared have a go! The the warm, friendly, and patient reception at kite junkies gave me the confidence to try something I never thought I would do.
Tony was an excellent instructor, who explored what i wanted out of the experience. We established common goals and we worked together and achieved them. Tonys' humour and passion for the sport is infectious and I can guarantee he could take the most nervous of pupil and have them in the water and enjoying the experience within an hour.
A wonderful experience for me and now I'm kicking myself we didn't go to kite junkies years ago, because I've missed out on some great kite surfing experiences....
