Jeremie Tronet in Hurghada Egypt photo and video shooting
Sorry, but the last two weeks I haven't been able to update the site with pictures or anything else, the Internet in Egypt wasn't the most reliable and I couldn't really update the site from there. I tried to keep you informed on twitter or facebook, so if you didn't already do it, join and follow me by clicking on the small logos on the menu bar of my site !
Egypt was a very nice trip, together with Linn I flew from nice (south of France) to Paris and then directly to Hurghada where we stayed in a hotel close to the Colona water sports, the kiteschool and main kitespot there:
The Colona water sports is a very nice kiteschool offering a full range of services for the kiters, with rescue service, lockers, a bar, etc at a super nice price for the time of your stay, and the staff is very nice and helpful: http://www.colonawatersports.com
We went to Hurghada to film the next Rise kite Ocean rodeo video and shoot tonnes of nice pics of the 2010 gear.
The day we arrived the wind was already blowing strong, so I went out on my 8m diablo and had the chance to be kiting with dolphins jumping around for more than 30 minutes, they were showing of their own tricks (kind of Sbends) to remind me they are the locals there ! hehe, it was amazing, the red sea has a rich animal life and beautiful clear waters, perfect for a nice trip.
The Italian dealer for Ocean Rodeo and his girlfriend was staying in the same hotel as us, and with them we took some very cool kite pictures, I can't post them online yet, but I'm sure you will hear about those shots pretty soon.
Jeremie Tronet in Hurghada Egypt: 35 °C all day long
The weather there is amazing, you get a clear blue sky and over 35 °C temperature all day long, the water is warm and the only thing you have to worry about is to drink enough water, what the local can't do during the Ramadan in which participating Muslims refrain from eating, drinking, etc ... from dawn until sunset.
The people there were very nice and Egypt is definitely one of the top kite destinations for anybody looking for good wind this time of the year. In fact most of the European kiters chose Egypt as one of the main kite destinations for their holidays because of it's proximity and good prices.
So Egypt was a success, with amazing pictures loaded in the hard drives, several video tapes to work on and edit, I 'll be staying here in France for 10 days before to fly back to Cumbuco in Brazil and spend 3 months training and shooting with Linn.
Right now, I'm trying to enjoy the wind and small waves for SUP and surf session between the video editing work.
