This is the perfect school for Kitesurfing, Windsurfing and Stand-Up Paddling.If you have already experience in watersports you can rent the equipment.I'm in Hurghada for two weeks and now I know after the first week of practice with the nice and professional instructors, that it's very easy to learn Kitesurfing and Windsurfing in short time.The wind is coming from the sea and it's a flat area with sandbanks and the sea is not deep at all.Perfect conditions for Kitesurfing and Windsurfing.It's the best school with the best prices in Hurghada.read more

The school was suggested by my hotel and I am thankful for that.They are one of the best service provider I encountered in my life.The spot is lovely and the material looks and feel new.The teaching is great. On top of the great knowledge and experience, they are very cool, they see and help you with your mistakes. The cherry on the cake is the atmosphere. I also shared meals with the team every day and this makes the experience unique. I will certainly be back.read more

Wonderful! A very professional team, they are patient with the students of the school and provide the right equipment to learn. Besides these aspects, it mattered how I was taught, Hassan is wonderful, the best teacher, he explained to me in detail every time what I have to do or where I went wrong. Plus they are extremely extremely friendly and that mattered a lot to me. They managed to make a good impression on me about Egypt and Egyptians and I want to come back!read more

A very good windsurfing and kite school in Hurgada! The whole team is very friendly and attentive. Moreover, their package deals are the best in the whole area.We took a 6-hour course in windsurfing plus 4 hours extra over four days. After the first hour, I was already able to ride both directions, slow but steady.Especially thanks to our great instructor Aimen who sincerely wanted to help ride up to speed! His English is very good so I could understand all the details even being a beginner myself.Highly recommended 🏄‍♂️read more

Really bad experience. Basically, they charged money, but did not properly explain and teach me anything. Their instructor did spend the agreed number of hours with me, but did not explain much. He was trying to show, but was not explaining. I suppose the reason for this is that he didn't really speak English. I of course told them before booking the lessons that I needed an English speaking instructor and they said their instructor speaks very good English. I now have to either take other lessons or try to learn everything myself by watching YouTube or just give up.read more

I have had two huge issues with this school.When I went for my first 3 hours (110 EUR) I was told that I can pay as I go up to a maximum of 300 EUR for 10 hours. I liked the idea, because the wind wasn't strong for the next two weeks and there was a chance that I wouldn't be able to finish the whole course, hence did not want to prepay everything and then lose my money. I agreed that I would monitor the wind and come back to the school to take more lessons. The school only offered this to me, because they understood that I might not be able to take further lessons otherwise.On the same day, after I had finished my 3 hours, I went back to the changing room and found out that someone had stolen some of my money. I had gone to the ATM beforehand to get enough cash to pay for the lessons (most places in Egypt want cash), so was completely aware of how much money I had with me (i was counting it before and after I started my lessons just to make sure). I only left my valuables in the changing room, because I was told that it's super safe and nothing had ever been taken or lost from there. Also, there was barley anyone there except 1 or 2 students in their 40s-50s during that time and a few people from the school. After I found out that my money had been taken, I immediately informed the school and they had absolutely no problem giving it back to me. I felt the whole situation was strange. I was then told I should have left my valuables in the main office with the instructors, which of course did not match with what I was initially told.Since I had no evidence the school took my money and I had already prepaid 110 EUR, I wanted to give them another chance. This time I brought my partner along who was hanging out on the beach and looking after my belongings. I did another 3 hours for 110 EUR.I contacted the school to schedule my last 4 hours and told them I would bring the remaining 80 EUR with me, but was told that I will need to pay another 110 EUR for 3 hours. They refused to stick to their initial offer, which I find unprofessional, especially after what had happened to me there. I am aware that this might not sound like a big difference, but I am now paying 30 EUR more and getting one hour less plus the experience with the stolen money.Please do yourself a favour and stay away from this school. There are so many other places in the area that provide a much better and more importantly honest service.I tried escalating this issue to their management, but it led nowhere. I am not happy how I was treated providing that I gave this school a second chance after what had happened.read more

Amazing Kiteschool! I was here to learn how to kitesurf and had a great time. The teachers are really friendly, professional and helpful. Thanks to the great teaching of Hassan, I was able to kitesurf on my own after my 15 hour course. During the lessons he always had the right instructions for me to improve and learn new skills. The atmosphere at the kitespot is very nice, the whole team is very friendly and help you with setting up your equipment but also keep an eye on you when you are kitesurfing on your own and offer assistance when needed. I had such a wonderful time here and would 100% recommend this kiteschool.read more

There is so much good to say about this kiteschool!This was by far the best kite experience I've ever had. I've been to 2 other kite schools before, but this kite school surpasses everything. The two teachers are incredibly friendly and very good teachers. I have learned more than ever in a kite school. The team of the kite school is also super friendly and helpful. I have never experienced such great service at a kite school. The guys help you set up/take down the kite, they wash your equipment and fix small problems immediately. And dont forget about the tasty tea they will serve you in your lunch break!Every single day I looked forward to going back to the kite school. Just amazing & wonderful.Thank you for everything we will never forget this time.Nick & Lindaread more

Highsurf and kite Hurghada - if you want to learn kitesurfing from scratch, this place should be your choice. Fantastic spot with shallow water, spacious, always good wind. And the school - great people, cordial, polite and most importantly true professionals.My instructor was Salah Abdel Sabour, the nicest guy you can meet. Only 24 years old, but with teaching skills that a teacher 20 years older would envy. Patient, understanding, actively capturing student's mistakes and weaknesses, and then professionally correcting them.Due to the short stay, I only did 8.5 hours of the course, but by the end I was able to do waterstart and control the tack. (when I started my skills were 0).Of course, I will come back here again for 109%👍👍👍 and this is probably the best opinion about the place and people 😀😀😀Robert Kaminskiread more

I can warmly recommend this kite school to everyone! I chosed this school because of the very good reviews that already existed. My goal was to complete my apprenticeship while I was on vacation. The entire team is always helpful and reliable! My instructor trained me very conscientiously and paid attention to every detail. Now i feel really confident in what I'm doing! It's very good feeling to go on the water alone so well prepared! The spot consists largely of a shallow water zone, so that beginners in particular will find a safe environment here. Otherwise, a reef keeps the biggest waves from the open sea. The school only uses equipment of excellent quality! I had a Cabrinha kite 95% of the time!read more

I had kitesurfing classes in March 2023 with Hight Surf & Kite School.Started as total beginner, I was able to do some rides and have some nice feelings after 7 hours of private course (Planed 9 hours as group class but turned to private class as there was no other student).The team is very friendly and professional. Everything was clearly explained. The equipment is recent. The price was as displayed on the website. Training hours were perfectly respected. The spot is very nice. My coach was very pedagogic and patient. All the safety procedures were clearly explained. I have always felt safe. I had good progress and fun learning kite surfing there.TIP: Plan to pay by cash as they don’t take card payment. I was sleeping in a hotel a bit far away from the school (15min by car) it was possible to drive there without problem using Uber.I definitely recommend and would go back there if I am around.Have fun!read more

Attention, it will be long.This is the best kitesurf school I have been taught so far in terms of the beginners teaching quality.I had lessons with Hassan. He is a very pedagogic and patient teacher, trying his best. Very flexible as well, if physically you are unable to do 3 hours without a break. He cares about your comfort and progression. I stuck on the water start level, and finally I unlocked this step thanks to Hassan. It's definitely worth your money.Big thanks for preparing the kite. even if you rent, they pump it for you and help with launching,you only take care of the bar.The spot is also a big shout "lovely".There is a chill area and they provide thé water and tea.The equipment is ok:) it's not like brand New, but it's operational and sage to use.I would give 6 stars if i could.In a nutshell, a Big thanks to Hassan, Amr and the rest of the team.read more

Great kite surfing school. I had a super pleasant first time experience. My instructors Ahmed and Hassan were fantastic. Very hands on and easy going. They were very flexibel and organised the lessons according to my vacation. Unfortunately we were unlucky with 4 days of no wind in between but we managed to fit all the remaining lessons into the last day. I recommend them and the school highly. Also the other instructors were very nice and helpful. You are in safe and good hands.The prices are fair when I compared with other schools. Only thing to notice, bring euros, dollars, British pounds as the lessons and rental need to be paid in those currencies. One tip for the school to highlight that better to bring cash as credit cards will not be taken or only in EGP which gives a very bad exchange rate due to the current devalued Egyptian currency. I had a mix of euros and British pounds. Fortunately they accepted and used the proper rates for GBP not like all the other vendors which pretend EUR = GBP.To conclude, very fair and friendly treatment.Keep the good work going guys!read more

I can see that there are a lot of 5-star reviews, but I was not as satisfied. The atmosphere was very chill and nice and the guys at the school were very friendly. I had 2 main issues during the course; the gear and the teacher.The gear was old, all shoes had holes and the harness kept opening during the second day, which was very scary and dangerous. Tye teacher, even though acknowledged the problem with the harness, did not really do anything about it.My teacher was a piece of art. Unfortunately, my teacher was a 15yo kid, who was a very good kite surfer, but without teaching experience. It was clear he was teaching from his own kite experience, meaning he did not know how to teach it well enough.I had to ask questions and constantly fall until I found the missing steps that he was not describing. It was mainly a waste of time, since I could had progressed the same in half time, if I had an experienced instructor. I continued the courses in Denmark and the instructor here pretty much told me to forget what I was thought by the kid.On top, the kid found it appropriate to get angry and yell at me, because I was constantly falling (undoubtedly due to him not explaining well enough). It was quite funny at the beginning having a 1,50m and 45kg kid screaming at a grown man, but it became quite annoying after a little.The owner was also instructing students, maybe he is better.read more
