How did you start kiteboarding? In RedSeaZone, I was assistant, and I practiced a lot. All of my friends gave me the lessons and tips.

What do you like the most about kiting?: I love kiteloops in 30 knots, airpasses. I also like to go for kiting trips. And for sure I'd like to get better, and practice new tricks. And I will:) It's extreme sport, very good for the body. Kiting makes you active all the time.

Competitions: KiteJamboree'09 I won Freestyle Jam (amateurs), and I was 3rd at Egyptian Championship. I was also a finalist of Billiards (pool) Competition in El Gouna:))

Other sports: Football, and wakeboarding. Now I can do some tricks.

Kite adventure: I took a trip downwind from RedSeaZone to Club Med with my friend Emad. All the way downwind, my board broke, and then my harness as well. Emad's equipment also started to break, although we checked everything before. We were trying to help each other out, but it was very hard. The wind was very strong, and it was like a fight with the wind, instead of a downwind trip. At the end, we came too close to each other, and both kites got tangled, and fell in the water. We packed down everything and swam back to the shore.

RedSeaZone: RSZ is the best, the best, the best, the best.... for 4 years. I learnt all my kiting skills in RedSeaZone, Mike helped me out a lot in teaching, kiting and everything.

Beyond kite: Watching movies: action, comedy and romantic, I like them all.

Something from Nemo: Thank you RedSeaZone:)
