Soma Bay's not cheap. But you do get what you pay for. There's not a lot of kiteclubs that offer the kind of facilities that they do. If you can be happy with less, there's for sure other clubs around that'll be happy with less too. As for the actual price, when I went this summer I paid about 90€ f...

We went to Soma Bay last June. Staid at the The Cascades hotel. Not cheap, but the food and service are the best I've had in Egypt, by far. There's a daily, free shuttle to the 7bft kitehouse. The spot has perfect flat water close to shore, with a bit more chop further out. In front of the club, the...

Don't worry, they have a compressor. You can save the space in your luggage. Unless you're pump is made from solid metal, you won't save much weight though

Apart from smaller fins, a different design and better footstraps, I don't think there'll be much difference.

All others September as well.

Hey Feng, Egypt has plenty of possibilities. It all just depends on what you and your family are looking for. Ras Sudr is a great kite spot with really good winds, but that's about all there's to it. The hotels aren't great, there isn't much to do for non-kiters and there's no life outside of the ho...

Only a 2010 Helix. Could be that they brought some kites as well, but didn't see any on the beach.

Just saw some of the stuff last week in Egypt. It seems that white is the new black for Naish in 2011. Both the Momentum and the Thorn go back to a mainly white colour scheme for the top. Between the straps/bindings its more a multicolour affair. Some colourful drawings for the Thorn and for the Mom...
