Intermediate Kitesurf Course


	[Full Image]

If you have taken a beginners course and learnt to stand on the board and move downwind, then this is the course for you.

Our intermediate course will take you from being at the mercy of the wind to surfing up wind, jumping and starting to pull some tricks!

Safaga, 50 Km South of Hurghada, with its charming bay, is and remains the guarantee of a relaxing windsurfing and water sports holiday.

The TORNADO Surfcenter is located directly on the beach of Holiday Inn Resort with only 15metres from the shore. If you are lucky with your room, not much further from your bed!

What makes Safaga Bay unique is that it's not overcrowded and remains untouched from the crazy development. There is friendly atmosphere in the TORNADO Surfcenter.
