Hello surfers!

Welcome to the website of surfstation PlayKite

My name is Alexander Vashlyaev, aka Bara.

I'm in professional windsurfing and kiteboarding since 2003 when I had first time come to Egypt and stayed here to work and live, because the climate of this country allows me to do my favourite work during whole year. I've got my instructor's experience working at the station of Monster - legendary russian surfer. During that time I've found my own instructor style which can be described in three words as: sharp, friendly and patient :)

I have two sons and beloved wife. I'm going high on reading books on molecular biology, chemistry, physics and astronomy. I love to play guitar and kaossilator. Every day I try to progress in windsurfing and kiteboarding freestyle.

My egyptian friend and partner - Salah El Deeb.

He is in kiteboarding and windsurfing over 14 years. He started to work at the first Monster's station as assistant and water rescue, have learned to speak russian, german and english languages, learned to kite and windsurf masterly and become professional instructor. He had received all certificates and licences for water sports. He is experienced in solving problems with different Egyptian instances, virtuosic backgammon player and is really great in art of cookery.

In 2008 we have started to work on our kite spot on the north of Hurghada, near the hotel Sultana.

We are competent and experienced instructors. The atmosphere at our station is informal and friendly, the sun shines and wind blows whole the year round. Here you will feel yourself comfortable to learn and ride.
