Our People

Life is short and we find it important to do what we can for one another.

“Rising stars is our way of giving a helping hand to the young generation in Egypt to learn, evolve and feel stability through equipment, education and inspiration" — Founders N & N. We aim to give kids opportunities that for many cases in this lifestyle are a privilege. We are here to inspire, impact & educate.

We are asking to come together to give back to this community and support the kids to go for their dreams & inspire others to do the same

“The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take that away from you” - B.B. King. No matter what path the kids decide to take within this program and the kite world. Whether it’s competing, becoming an ambassador for brands, being a kite teacher or even starting your own business.

Just being part of this industry opens doors into a different world for the kids to grow and take a different path in life than what they were maybe born into. Being part of rising stars is a direct impact into the kids lives, this program and the future of Egyptian kiteboarding.

Through joining forces we harness our passion, experience, expertise and knowledge

It’s a domino effect of like minded people wanting to help make a difference. Everything is a spider web of network connections, our aim is to connect with inspiring individuals, brands and groups to grow rising stars together and make the sport more accessible to all. We do this through collaboration camps, individual coaching, language, social media workshops, and boat safaris.

The combination of having a mentor in our program is to have stability and a connection between the kids and role models who become trusted people they can always be in contact with. The older brother reminds them to go to English classes, motivates them on and off the water and takes care of their potential sponsorship deals. Also in line with language barriers to be a check-in when following up on their individual programs.

Thank you to all our mentors, sponsors, and collaboration partners for supporting us in each way they can — Holix Watersports, Makani Beach Club, Katanawave, North Sails, Brunotti, Core Kites, The Three Corners, Duotone, Mystic Kiteboarding and Kite Power El Gouna.
