Sharm El Sheik lies on the southern tip of the Sinai peninsular and has become a large cosmopolitan bustling and vibrant town, in huge contrast to the once fishing village of more than 30 years ago. It is now one of the world’s most popular holiday resorts with year round sunshine, warm water and host of watersport and other activities on offer. It caters very well for the seasoned holiday maker with its high number of hotels and resorts, restaurants, bars and night clubs. The mountainous desert landscape blends into a contrasting but strangely beautiful scenery and the waters edge is washed by the azure Red Sea.

SAILING SPOT & CONDITIONS

The Kitesurf centre is located directly on the beach within the grounds of the Regency Plaza Resort. The Resort is only 10 minutes from Sharm el Sheikh Airport.

The riding area is fringed by a reef creating a huge flat water lagoon with most areas knee to chest deep, the riding areas are never affected by the tides.

The wind is predominately cross to cross-onshore. Sharm shares the same wind as Dahab with a high percentage of days blowing 20 knots or more.

With over 3 square kilometres of flat water to play on it’s the perfect playground for the complete beginner or the more advanced rider learning new tricks.  With most of the riding area being shallow it’s pretty difficult to get into trouble.

The Lagoon is split into two areas:

Free riders have a huge area directly in front of the launching and landing area, this area is perfect for busting your latest moves.

Beginners have a huge area upwind of the landing and launching area. This is where we carry out our lessons as it is a super safe tuition area. For those of you that are just mastering the sport and not going up-wind you will also practice in this area. It is perfect for learning as you’ll never be out of your depth.

The launching area is right in front of the centre. Just pump up your kite with one of our compressor lines and hit the water. If you do find yourself in a tricky situation or without your board, relax one of our staff will be there to assist you.

The Wave Spot

For those a little more adventurous a 20 minute ride upwind will see you in a bay where you’ll find moderate rolling waves around 1.5 to double head height.  

We feel that the spot is for the more advanced rider who wants to get to grips with the waves, also great for boosting some big airs.  It is relatively friendly with a predominantly sandy bottom.

The first time to the ‘wave spot’ is always organized with one of our instructors. After a session in the waves it is followed by a down winder back to the flat water lagoon.
