Itinerary of the day trip

Departs from the Tornado Surf Center
It starts in the morning between 8 and 8:15 o’clock: Every day we drive you from the center to the kite and wing spot in Soma Bay. You either go to the spot with the Kite Adventure Boat or with a transfer boat, depending on whether the Kite Adventure Boat stayed at the spot overnight. The half-hour drive takes you along the coast - with a bit of luck you might even see a dolphin. If you are not in Safaga, we will pick you up with a transfer boat from one of the surrounding marinas.

Would you like to avoid the hustle and bustle of large hotels and instead spend the night on one of our two boats? This is possible! And even better: spend the night with the Legends directly in Soma Bay at the spot and jump from the bed straight onto the board in the morning.
Would you rather go shopping, eating or going to one of the weekly parties on land in the evening? Then spend the night on the Kite Adventure, which returns to the center in the evening. Go ashore flexibly before we go kitesurfing again during the day in Soma Bay the next day.

Our spot
Wind statistics
Spot description
Soma Bay not only offers a lot of wind and warm temperatures all year round but it is also one of the most beautiful kite spots on the Red Sea. The area is suitable for all skill levels: beginners will find ideal conditions for learning in the approx. 2 km² large lagoon, which is mostly knee to waist deep. Advanced riders, whether freeriders or freestylers, can enjoy endless space in the turquoise waters of Soma Bay, regardless of the tides. The surface is mostly flat to choppy. In the morning, the wind usually starts off-shore from the north-west – often around 5 to 10 knots stronger than the wind forecast predicts. At noon the wind turns to "sideshore" from the north. Depending on the time of year, the wind slowly dies down in the afternoon, but can also blow through until just before sunset.
