The Windsurfing
The Windsurfing
A great spot on the western edge of the Red Sea, Hurghada is good for beginners and experts alike. Large and progressively deeper shallows allow beach starts to get gradually deeper until you are waterstarting before you know it. Further out, there is a sand bar to play on and wind generated chop for a bit of bump and jump or freestyle.
As ever, consistent winds dominate year round with both land and sea breezes usually adding a few extra knots to make it 6.0m weather down to 5.0m with the odd 4.5m day! Jump on the latest JP and Neil Pryde kit and get whatever trick or skill dialled with plenty of quality water time and our international group of freestyling instructors.

Centre, Courses & Kit
The Centre
The two windsurfing centres in Hurghada are located right on the beach in front of neighbouring hotels, just 300 m apart - the original centre has become two. Both are equipped with JP kit and enjoy an easy sandy launch area. A beach bar, volleyball court and ski boat complete the set up of this beach paradise.
