WingFOIL Lessons DAHAB BOARDER CENTER
At Dahab we offer several types of wingfoiling lessons, and it is possible to learn wingfoiling whether you are a beginner in board sports or an experienced windsurfer, kitesurfer or surfer. Courses for beginners are very similar to those for beginner windsurfers. The wingfoiling students start on a large board holding a wing in their hands, rather than a boom and sail. After that the learning objectives for beginners are the same as for windsurfers, and after just a few hours you will be able to ride on your own. For the more experienced we offer courses with more challenging objectives. In semi-private lessons with 2 people per instructor, we teach you to fly safely, to jibe and even to jump.

A word about
DAHAB BOARDER CENTER
Dahab is an ideal sandy kite spot featuring shallow areas and larger, deeper windsurfing lagoons that offer flat, clear water conditions. This amazing location is also perfect for practicing wingfoiling. Protected from the open sea by a long, narrow sandbank, Dahab is suited for every level from beginners to advanced.
The wind is predominantly offshore, and coral reefs are clearly marked and safely distanced from riders. Beyond the reefs, there’s an accessible wave zone for those looking for a more thrilling experience. Located within a secure hotel zone, this kite spot is just half a kilometer from a safe and picturesque town, making it a perfect destination for water sports enthusiasts.
BEST PERIODS
June and September for the best wind.
July and August bring strong morning winds, warm water, hot dry air, and mango season.
Early May, Christmas, and New Year are perfect for a festive atmosphere with new friends and good wind.
WIND
North-east offshore wind most of the year, with occasional south onshore wind in winter. Typically 20 knots, stronger in the morning, lighter in the afternoon. In summer, winds can reach 24-32 knots all day, every day
WAVES
Waves are behind the reefs with no shore break, accessible independently but only for advanced riders
