Stand Up Paddling
Overview
On windless days, stand-up paddling (SUP) is the perfect activity for young and old. Hire SUPs from Tornado Surf Center and explore the Safaga coastline from the water. If you rent from the Kite Adventure, you can take your board and paddle around the boat and through Soma Bay - in shallow water you can directly see the exciting underwater world of the Red Sea.
"Stand-up paddling" is an excellent fitness workout for the whole body. It is not difficult to learn. Apart from a certain sense of balance, no special physical requirements are needed. And since you are in control of the intensity of the paddling, SUP is suitable for all ages and fitness levels.

Spot
Safaga offers the perfect spot, suitable for all skill levels. In Safaga you will definitely enjoy windsurfing, no matter whether you are beginner, intermediate or expert. The varied spot offers ideal slalom, freeride and freestyle conditions.
The spot is directly in front of our Center in Hotel Solymar Paradise Beach. Our ready-to-use Neilpryde Riggs and JP Boards are stored not more than 30m away from the water.
With moderate wind, the water is flat to choppy. In strong wind there is a nice slight swell outside, which invites to jump.
The wind usually starts in the morning cross-offshore from north-west. This wind conditions favour an excursion to Tobia Island, a sandy island surrounded by turquoise water, about 4 km away from our center – don't miss it! Later in the morning, the wind turns to side shore from the north. In the afternoon the wind is normally very steady. Depending on the season, the wind slowly dies down in the late afternoon, but can also blow until sunset.
The shallow, protected area in front of our center is ideal for beginners and intermediates to practice on their basic skills. Advanced windsurfers can easy beach-start from here and continue to practice on their jibes and tricks further outside.
Spot surveillance with binoculars, and rescue service with Zodiac are part of our standard.
