Hey guys,Some of u wanted to know about wakeboarding and wakeskating in egypt well it's very nice but not much,meaning there in no more than 10 riders in egypt.It all started when a french guy started to teach me and my mates how is ride good and when we started teaching each other but we aren't that good we need a good instructor to help us with our skills and some of us are really talented,if anybody is intersted in helping teaching or even coming to have a nice holiday in egypt plz let us know,you have my e-mail and u can contact me at any time...Two things that i found super cool in egypt,the friendly crowds that always cheers u up in any place in the nile (cuz it is a very crowded city off the river), u will find them on bridges and even the cars stop to cheer u up,it is a crazy feeling,the other thing is u can train all year,the water is not so flat every day in the summer but in the winter it becomes flat every day but u need a shorty wetsuit...that's all for now and i hope to hear from every one of u guys....Later buddies Cool

simmer style, same here concerning the cheerings.
I ride in the middle of downtown and there are a lot of tourists in the summertime.
They are on the shore 10-15 feet from you and when you fall they are like "Are you OK!?", "What kind of board is that??" or "Dude, why do you wear shoes in the water?".
Sometimes, I go out of the water and I start talking with them.
And that really-really annoys the driver! Hehehe... Laughing
