Enter the Community

The kitesurfing community is like no other, now you will become part of it.

In 1977 a Dutch surfer called Gijsbertus Adrianus Panhuise was the first man to patent a sport that we know today as Kitesurfing. Kitesurfing is an exciting water sport that involves riding on a board while being propelled by a kite. It’s a popular activity for thrill-seekers and those who love being out on the water. To get started, kite surfers use a kite to harness the power of the wind and propel themselves across the water. The kite is attached to the rider with a harness, which allows them to control the kite and steer the board.

Kitesurfing can be a challenging sport to learn, but with the right instruction and practice, anyone can become proficient. It’s important to receive proper training and use the correct equipment, including a kite, board, harness, and safety gear, to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. f you’re looking for an exciting new activity to try, kitesurfing is the sport for you. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced rider, there’s always something new to learn and enjoy in this exhilarating sport.

Kite foiling is a relatively new discipline within the kitesurfing world that is rapidly gaining popularity. It involves riding a board with a hydrofoil attachment, which lifts the rider and board out of the water, reducing drag and allowing for higher speeds and smoother rides.

The hydrofoil consists of a long, narrow wing attached to the bottom of the board, which creates lift as it moves through the water. The rider balances on the board while controlling the kite, using the wind to generate power and lift the foil out of the water. One of the main advantages of kite foiling is that it allows riders to ride in much lighter wind conditions than traditional kitesurfing. This makes it a great option for locations with inconsistent wind conditions or for riders looking for a new challenge.

Kite foiling can be more challenging to control than traditional kitesurfing, however with the with the right lesson module and our experienced instructors, anyone can learn to foil and experience the thrill of riding on the water like never before.

We got to spend two weeks at this great place and really enjoyed it!

The guys on the beach are absolutely professional and always patient, helping you where they can and giving tips as they know the spot very well. The spot felt familiar and there was enough space as there were not too many kiters. Also, it’s great that the spot has a second lagoon a bit further out, so advanced kiters have their own flatwater playground while beginners can stay close to the beach 🙂 I can absolutely recommend the place and I will be back for sure! Thank you KitePeople El Gouna!!

I had taken several course from other kite schools.

My best experience was with Kitepeople. Well organized, clean, they have an area specific for teaching. Independent or advance kites have their own area, a big plus for me, shallow waters. They also have a rescue boat that will pick you up if you drift too far. Not to mentioned the staff are very friendly and easy going. My husband rented for 6 days and they were flexible and worked with him when there was no wind. Great customer service! Very professional.

Loved our time with Kitepeople in El Gouna.

Amro was a great coach and took us out to the 2nd Lagoon which was magical. He also took some great photos and videos while we were out there. Thanks Amro!

I had an unforgettable time at the KitePeople school.

It is right next to the mövenpick Hotel but also very good reachable from other apartments/hotels in El gouna. You can just use a tuktuk which cost you like 1 euro. There is a very nice atmosphere hanging around with great passionate and friendly people.
