Summary
Beautiful, flat, turquoise knee-hip deep water provides the best conditions for learning or perfecting tricks. There are no waves or current and minimal tides. Underfoot is mainly white sand, however at the shore there are a few sharp rocks. Whilst in lessons we recommend wetsuit shoes. Egypt has very steady consistent wind the majority of the time, with a steady 15-25knots. The spot is located at the most northern tip of El Gouna, providing the cleanest wind, in a spacious and newly refurbished kite station. The have shower facilities, Kite storage, Kite repair shops and a great restaurant which serves delicious food all day! Kites and all equipment during lessons will be provided and included in the booking price. If bringing your own, recommended kite sizes are anything between 8-14m (we will send you a live wind update and packing list a week prior to the trip) In June it is beautifully warm and a 3/2mm or 1mm wetsuit or rash suit is usually enough.
The Destination
The Experience
Join us in El Gouna, Egypt for a week of kitesurfing in the best conditions for progressing with new tricks or learning from scratch whilst enjoying the relaxing vibe this magical place has to offer. The day-to-day will unfold with waking up in a beautiful private villa overlooking the lagoon and distant mountains beyond the infinity pool. We'll start each day with a yoga session to limber up before setting intentions and visual goals for our kite sessions over a delicious breakfast. Once at the spot, as long as the wind is pumping, we will be spending every moment possible on the water! With equipment and teachers at the ready for our beginners and coaches on hand for tips and tricks for those of you progressing. Expect delicious lunches at the newly refurbished kite station, a chilled vibe, bean bags and sun beds to chill on with brand new facilities including kite storage, kite repair and care, showers, changing rooms, work spaces, great wifi and a spacious beach with compressors for swift and easy launching and landing. After a full days kiting with lunch together, feedback and goal check ins, we'll head back to the Villa to change for dinner and drinks out in El Gouna. There are a plethora of incredible restaurants of which we have hand picked our favourites, offering a different style cuisine each evening. For those of you looking to continue the party, there are always great bars to continue the evening. For no wind days, the adventure doesn't stop! We have the opportunity for desert trips, horse riding, quad bikes, or hiking in the nearby mountain range guided by the locals. Boat days on the Red Sea with snorkelling or diving and even swimming with dolphins if we're lucky is also possible!
