Find out what it’s all about right here.

The Red Sea sparkled under the sun as Kitefest 2024 kicked off its second edition, bringing together kitesurfing riders from all over the world. Organised by The Wind Seekers, a company founded by Egyptian kitesurfing entrepreneur Mostafa Abbas, Kitefest has quickly established itself as a premier kitesurfing event, offering an extraordinary blend of sport, luxury, and community.

The Kitefest isn't just any kitesurfing event. It's an experience designed to explore the stunning beauty of the Red Sea while providing riders with the opportunity to kite, connect, and celebrate life. Mostafa Abbas, the visionary behind Kitefest, set out to create an adventure that extends beyond kiting: "The Kitefest isn't just about kiting; it's about creating memories, building connections, and enjoying the beauty of the Red Sea while throwing some epic parties," Mostafa shared.

Unlike typical kitesurfing events, the Kitefest takes place aboard three luxurious yachts that cruise the Red Sea, allowing riders to explore its most unique and untouched islands. Guests experience the remote, serene kitesurfing spots that make Egypt a hidden gem in the kitesurfing world. The underwater beauty of the Red Sea, coupled with top amenities, sets Kitefest apart from any other kitesurfing adventure.

"The Kitefest brings together people from all over the world and invites the best riders in the industry. Not only can they practice and coach, but they also help build a stronger kitesurfing community," said Mostafa.

Living on these luxurious yachts is more than just accommodation; it's a defining element of Kitefest. The yachts offer a week of luxury with delicious meals, great service, and an unbeatable vibe!

"We're so grateful to Mostafa for shining light on Egypt as a beautiful kite destination, both because of the hidden spots and the amazing people," said Nicole Lambrecht, founder of Rising Stars Egypt and Nicole's Greenhouse. "He just has this way of bringing people together to experience it in the best possible way. For many people, that's through kiting and dancing."

Beyond the daily kiting sessions, Kitefest offers activities like beach barbecues, volleyball tournaments, scuba diving, and wakeboarding. With the best demo gear available for guests to try out and nightly parties on the yachts, the fun doesn't stop when the sun goes down.

"Eat, sleep, kite, repeat together on a super yacht? That's Windseekers! Exploring the best kiting islands around Egypt with like-minded people all sharing one passion is the best way to describe this unforgettable experience," said Luca Ceruti, one of Kitefest riders.

One of the highlights of Kitefest is the presence of world-class professional riders who enjoy the experience, coach, and share their knowledge with guests. This year's event saw incredible talents like Ruben Lenten, Luca Ceruti, Jason van der Spuy, Beto Gomez and more took part in the action.

"I first met Mostafa a few years back, and since then, we've been hanging out and working together," said Ruben Lenten. "Fast forward to this year, and the vibe just keeps getting better. Three yachts packed with like-minded kiters, sick sessions, and yacht parties... it's hard to beat that!"

For many riders, the Kitefest is more than just a kitesurfing event; it's a chance to build lifelong friendships and enjoy Egypt's hidden treasures.

"One of the most memorable weeks of my life. Cruising on three yachts to all the best kite spots in the Red Sea with all your friends and amazing people is as good as it sounds," said Jason van der Spuy. "Endless things to do even when there's no wind and an epic party every night. A truly unforgettable experience."

For Beto Gomez, the Kitefest exceeded all expectations: "Papi, for me, Wind Seekers Kitefest was magical. I still can't believe we were in the middle of the Red Sea with three mega yachts and great people. The vibes during this event were on another level."

As Kitefest 2024 comes to a close, guests are already looking forward to next year's edition. With its unique mix of luxury, adventure, and community, Kitefest has become a must-attend event for kitesurfers worldwide.

"People should not miss Kitefest next year," urged Nicole Lambrecht. "Thanks to events like these, we can support young kids in Egypt who compete in international events, and we're already planning for next year's edition."

With each passing year, Kitefest continues solidifying its place as one of the global premier kitesurfing events. It offers an experience that's not just about the sport but about embracing life to the fullest—on the water, under the stars, and with a community as vibrant as the Red Sea itself.
