El Gouna
Red Sea, multiple spots and reliable thermal wind: El Gouna is a classic to progress with confidence, between sheltered lagoons for beginners and more open areas for confirmed riders.
With the Egyptian desert stretching to the horizon, warm water all year round and a mix of sensations, it's a destination built for discovery as much as for pure progression.

The Camp
Jun 1 – 8, 2027
The Trip
The whole group shares a large rented house for the trip, where a good vibe builds fast between riders: no fixed program, everyone organizes their own way, and anyone who loves cooking has free rein.
Days are built around a morning session, another in the afternoon if conditions allow, a cheerful lunch on the spot and dinner at a restaurant in the evening.
Breakfast, depending on the day, is at the house or in town.
And if a last drink after dinner sounds good, there's always someone up for stretching the evening out.
What's included
- Accommodation in a welcoming kite camp, right on the lagoon
- Airport transfers
- Coaching and video analysis
- Breakfast and 3 dinners
The spots
The main lagoon. A huge, shallow 1.5 km stretch of water with no reef or obstacles, swept by a steady 15 to 25 knot wind. The ideal spot to learn or fine-tune your technique safely.
Makani lagoon. A flat stretch of water free of rocks or reefs, with room to ride as far as the eye can see. A real playground to progress with peace of mind.
The reef-sheltered lagoon. A stretch of water protected by a coral barrier, guaranteeing flat, chop-free water to cruise or string tricks together.
El Gouna and its activities
Between sessions, El Gouna is worth exploring: the town is built around canals like a mini Venice.
Don't miss the Red Sea and its coral reefs, where colourful fish gather by the thousand: it feels like swimming through an aquarium.
Plenty of diving and snorkeling, desert excursions, or the many restaurants and bars downtown to round off the evening.
