30th March – 6th April – Max 6 spotsYouri Zoon needs no introduction. One of the best rider of all time, he is now fully dedicated to kite camps and coaching all over the world. His kite clinics are oriented to small groups and to intermediate and advanced riders only, riders that know what they want and where to progress, from simple jumping or a perfect riding technique to advanced freestyle manoeuvres and big airs.
On this kite cruise, he will focus on a max number of 6 kiters – every kiter is different, with different needs and different progression in mind, that’s why every one will be trained on a One on One session with Youri, with live directions using the BBtalking system to Kite Video Analysis to help you make it right.

OUR BOAT
We will be cruising in style, with one of our favorite boat – New Regency. This luxury motor yacht hosts up to 22 kiters and 2 extra kite guides, so it has plenty of space for every one. There is a cozy restaurant and a chef ready to cook 3 meals per day, a main lounge with TV and DVD, a sun deck, a second main deck with a small bar for a well deserved drinks at sunset, and a deck for gear set up. All cabins have air-condition, comfortable beds, and a private toilet with shower. This boat and its crew have tons of experience in kite safaris, and of course I will be personally on board, as a kite tour leader – we organize Kite cruises in Egypt since 2015, and we know the sea and its kite spots.
