Survivor island is the arriving spot of our downwinders. It’s a beautiful and remote sandy island in the middle of the Red Sea, with a reef that makes a bit complicated the arrival, and with side and off-shore wind. Let’s go more in details on this spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The island is very small, but not all of it is suitable for launching and landing without watershoes – that’s why I consider Survivor Island a side-shore wind or an off-shore spot only. If you have watershoes, and the tide is high enough to let you kite over the reef, then you can find any wind condition you want. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
No students in Survivor island – there is no space for lessons (unless we decide to teach in deep water). We use Survivor island ONLY as our arrival place for our downwinder – it is located 2km south of Geisum Marina Spot, so normally we kite from South Geisum to Survivor island for about 30mins, a very easy downwinder, but logically a certain level of kitesurfing is needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Preparation is key<\/strong> – when you approach Survivor Island from upwind (as we always do, cause we kite there only during our downwinders) you need to know that there will be a reef, and you need to pay attention to it. Keep an eye on the water and on the tide, and listen to our downwinder briefing<\/strong>. Avoid kiting on the reef, and just approach the island from its EAST side and never from the WEST side<\/strong>. Kite always on the EAST and SOUTH side of the island. That’s it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Survivor Island Kite Spot Survivor island is the arriving spot of our downwinders.
