Why we rate this centre

Kindly note the below regarding the Egypt amusement tax to be paid on site: 
The Egyptian parliament has passed a so-called amusement tax. From 16 July 2023, this tax must be paid to the Egyptian tax office. Unfortunately, this amusement tax also applies to all Sport/Dive centres on the Red Sea. Centres are now obliged to report the income daily to the tax office and to pay this tax to the state.

This Kite and Wingfoil Centre is located within the Movenpick Resort & Spa in El Gouna, Egypt. Established in 2004, it has garnered a reputation for excellence. The school's prime location on the Red Sea coast features a turquoise lagoon ideal for kitesurfing. This lagoon is divided into two sections: a waist-deep area perfect for beginners and a deeper channel suited for advanced riders. The surrounding coral reef ensures calm, flat waters, enhancing the kitesurfing experience. Additionally, a second sandbank approximately 1 km from the beach offers opportunities to explore vibrant corals and marine life.

They offer a comprehensive range of services tailored to various skill levels. Their offerings include kitesurfing lessons, wing foil lessons, gear rentals, and stand-up paddleboarding. All instructors are IKO certified, ensuring high-quality training. The school prides itself on using top-tier equipment, regularly updated to feature the latest models from leading brands. Lessons are typically conducted with a maximum of two students per instructor, facilitating personalized attention and effective learning. Upon course completion, students receive an IKO license, certifying their proficiency.

The on-site facilities enhance the overall experience. Situated within the Movenpick Resort, guests have access to five-star amenities, including multiple relaxation areas and secure storage lockers for personal gear. The station's proximity to the resort allows for seamless transitions between accommodation and kitesurfing activities.

Safety is a top priority. The school maintains rescue boats on standby to assist kitesurfers in need. The lagoon's design, with its shallow waters and dedicated zones for beginners and advanced riders, ensures a safe environment for all participants.

Their commitment to quality instruction, state-of-the-art equipment, and exceptional customer service has solidified its status as a premier kitesurfing destination in El Gouna. Whether you're a novice eager to learn or an experienced kitesurfer seeking new challenges, they offer an unparalleled experience on the Red Sea's pristine waters.

Kitesurfing - The centre offers courses in a Semi-private format (private lessons, if the number is not allowed, will be reduced by an hour). You can also specify hourly lessons outside of the formatted course. Great for beginners through to advanced

Rental is available for those at IKO III (riding up wind and safely) - You are expected to show responsible behaviour on and off the water, safe launching and landing skills, the ability to turn direction, satisfactory knowledge of water re-launch and self-rescue, compliance with standard “right of way” rules, use of the safety system (leash), knowledge of the international communication signs. The centre stocks a great range of equipment (Duotone, Cabrinha and Core) - suit all wind conditions and kiters!

For the rental of equipment, you may be required to produce a VDWS/IKO/RYA or equivalent licence to prove your ability to rent (For Egypt, this is mandatory, and if unable to provide you will need to do a skills test and pay for a licence locally)

Wing foil - El Gouna is shallow and impacted by tide - there are times you cannot Wing Foil at this centre. It is a great spot for learning with a short mast or improving in a safe place where you can stand.

Kitesurf - Private Beginner lessons - incl.equipment
hour(s)
From £491

Kitesurfing Lessons with a personal instructor gives you the opportunity to have a 1-on-1 interaction with your instructor to help you learn at a pace that is driven by you. The Learn To Kitesurf course aims to get you riding, while also teaching you how to read the conditions and utilise your equipment safely and correctly.

You will start with the basics; this includes setup of your equipment, safety features that you will utilise and how to fly a small 2metre trainer kite. When your instructor feels you are ready you can then head to the water. On day one you will only be using the kite and not go on the board just yet. Entering the water is when the fun starts! Here you will be taught how to properly fly an inflatable kitesurfing kite, how to control your kite and what to do if you crash it in the water. On day one you will be comfortable flying the kite and know what to do in any situation.

Note:

You don’t need to be super-fit to kitesurf and the kit is lightweight, so you don’t need lots of muscle strength either. But of course, a decent level of fitness will help you to progress faster. Your instructor will be there to support you, coach you, and more importantly, keep you safe through the learning process.
