Barry Garwood
I discovered my passion for kitesurfing here in Egypt in 2005, where I first learned the sport. Shortly after, I became a certified kitesurfing instructor and began teaching in various locations around the globe. A few years ago, I decided to settle in El Gouna and establish my own private teaching business.
Teaching kitesurfing has always been my greatest passion. With years of experience and advancements in equipment, I’ve developed techniques to make learning easier, more enjoyable, and focused on building confidence on the water. From beginner lessons to advanced coaching for professional competitions—including hooked jumps, kiteloops, and unhooked tricks—I tailor every session to each student’s goals
