How to rent kitesurfing equipment

[Happy-Kite]

The students who finished their kitesurfing course at the IKO (International Kiteboarding Organization) Intermediate Level 2I are ready for independent rental of the kiteboarding gear. The level assessed as 2I assumes the following skills:

- Water starts in both directions and ride a short distance

- Come to a controlled stop

- Know equipment set up and choice according to the weather conditions

- Know the right of way rules

 

Happy Kite school in Dahab extends equipment rental to all guests possessing IKO certificate of no less than 2I level.

 

All students who completed their course are automatically recommended for rental by his/her instructor as soon as the skills listed above are accomplished.

 

The convenience of the equipment rental at the kite center is as follows: the center stuff are always ready to help choosing the correct size of the kite and board for not confident freshman. In addition there is full line of kites of all sizes available at the school and this way the student is assured to have the best suitable gear instead of making his/her first independent attempts being overpowered or on a too small board as usually is the case when you have already purchased your own single kite and board. The rental student is also rest assured to be supervised by center assistant, who will not only help with setting up of the equipment but also helps launching and landing of the kite as well as is ready to rescue in case of emergency.

 

The prices for kiteboarding equipment rental are listed at Кайтcерфинг школа в Египте в Дахабе — это Happy Kite. We calculate the factual fees instead of advance payment. (However some deposit is required) Therefore, if you are planning to take 7 days rental it will not necessarily mean that you will ride all 7 days as it is weather permitted. At the end of your vacation we shall count the actual rental hours or days to finalize your account. Also in case you don't kite more than 2 hours per day, we will calculate the hourly rate as it is cheaper than daily. Also the several days packages don't mean you should kite every day, you can choose to make breaks, same concerns the breaks you take during the day, we shall count only actual hours spent on water. We are always ready to make discounts for rental in times off season and for long-term requests. In case you have your own board or kite and you need to rent to rest of the equipment, than you can expect 30% DISCOUNT off the rental price (PLUS 10% for our frequent customers).

 

You can also request the group rental option which means you will use one set of equipment for two people. It is much cheaper this way and gives opportunity for both to practice and help each other at the same time.

 

When you take kiteboarding equipment for rent you should discuss, accept or decline the equipment insurance. Your health & sport insurance has to be organized prior to coming to Egypt. The equipment insurance means a voluntary, non-refundable payment for the possible repairs of the equipment. Insurance covers all equipment repair costs but it does not cover the complete loss of the equipment or its parts. Insurance does not include accidents on the opposite shore of the kite lagoon in Dahab and in open sea (including kite safaris). Insurance is valid until the first insured event. 1 day of rental - insurance fee 10 EUR, 2 days - 15 EUR, 3 days 20 EUR, 4 days 25 EUR, 1 week 30 EUR. In case insurance was declined by the customer and kiteboarding equipment is subject for repair, all costs will be carried by the guest.

 

I hope this information is helpful for kiters who were curious about the rental of kiteboarding equipment
