Day Use Program for Riders
If you already ride independently, the Day Use Program gives you the spot without the lesson. You get unlimited kiting time for the day, transport within Hurghada, rescue cover on the water, and beach boy service for launching, landing and carrying.
It is the simplest way to ride safely somewhere you do not know: someone is watching the water, someone can get to you, and your gear does not sit unattended on the sand.
Who this is for
You must be able to ride upwind, self-launch and self-land without assistance. Equipment is not included.
Minimum age 8.
What is included
- Unlimited kiting time for the day
- Transportation service within Hurghada
- Rescue service on the water
- Beach boy service — launching, landing and gear handling
- Access to the kite centre facilities
What is not included
- Kite equipment — bring your own or add a rental
- Instruction or coaching
- Personal insurance
- Food
- Transfer from Makadi Bay, Sahl Hasheesh or El Gouna (€20 per car)
What to bring
- Your own kite, board, bar and harness
- Impact vest and helmet if you use them
- Swimwear, towel and sun protection
- A refillable water bottle
Safety
Day Use is supervised riding, not instruction. You are responsible for your own equipment and decisions. Rescue cover means someone is watching the water and can reach you — it does not replace your own judgement about wind, gear choice and right of way. Riders who cannot self-launch, self-land and ride upwind should book a course instead.
Meeting point
Kite Dates ECC centre, El Ahia Street, Hurghada — or your hotel lobby if you are using the free transfer.
