If you're a kitesurfer familiar with kitesurfing in Egypt, then I'm sure you've heard about El Gouna. But have you ever heard of Seahorse Bay? Seahorse Bay is a small area situated between El Gouna and Hurghada. The moment we arrived there I realised I could not have dreamt up a better spot.

It evokes loving thoughts of family, home baked meals and laughter-filled get-togethers. It is also a saying that comes to my mind when thinking of the hotel we recently stayed at in Egypt. It's no wonder the hotel is called Sweet Home!

My dad has always said "Kitesurfers never drink enough water!" Well dad, that won't be a problem for me anymore!

I felt like the the first day of the King of the Air was very busy for me. If only I had known how much busier the second and final day would be! I was constantly on my phone! But of course I made sure I checked out the action too. I reported for Kitesoul… Continue reading Red Bull KOTA 2018: The Final
In my previous post I spoke about how I was only going to do work for my own social media and blog during the event.

One of my favourite times of the year is slowly approaching: The Red Bull King of the Air!
Paros is definitely a place I would love to travel to again! Not only is the wind consistent and predictable, but the water is warm, the beaches are beautiful and there is plenty to do when you are done Kitesurfing.
