Where can I learn to kite board and buy the equipment in Qatar?
I just moved to Qatar with my familiy and would like to continue to learn to kite board after taking up the sport a couple of years ago. Qatar seems perfect with wide beaches a shallow water. Where can I learn to kite board here and where can I buy the equipment (or is it better to buy in Europe and bring back with me)? Anyboad have any ideas?
Buy your stuff on the internet. www.surfstore.co.uk deliver here no problems (the VAT you save normally covers postage).
Skate shack is terrible and overpriced and the guys have no idea.
Otherwise buy from Dubai. Go on the Dubai kite forum (google it) there are plenty on sale there.
As for instruction there is one guy on this site but he is madly overpriced (QR350 an hour)
You can have a look at http://www.kitesurfqatar.com/
This webpage seems to be "down" at the moment but hopefully it's only temporarily, it has been working before...
Hi,
I dont believe there are any schools here in Qatar.
However there is a shop on the Salwa Road called Skate Shack they have a variety of boards, kites and rigs. Seem to be good guys in there as well.
have fun
