Kitepass · beach use · El Gouna, Egypt · since 2004
A Kitepass is beach use of our private, gated lagoon for independent riders. The first roughly 800 m is the knee-to-waist-deep teaching area, followed by independent-riding and dedicated deeper foil zones. Rescue support is available during operating hours, but response times are not guaranteed. From €10 a day.
The Kitepass journey
01 Your gear · our base
Check in at the beach and your Kitepass opens our private, gated lagoon from €10 a day. Rinse-down, changing and restrooms are already at the base — there is no second spot fee waiting at the desk.
02 Zones before speed
The 2–3 km lagoon is mapped into separate teaching, independent kite and wing/foil zones. The first roughly 800 metres has sandy, knee- to waist-deep water; the reefs sit on the far side.
See the map, check the live wind, then choose your line before you launch.
03 Independent, not alone
The pass is for independent riders who launch, land, ride upwind and self-rescue. Our beach team can assist at launch and landing, while rescue support is available during operating hours.
A specific intervention or response time cannot be guaranteed, and support does not replace independent-rider skills or a sound self-rescue plan.
04 One day or a month
Book beach use for the length of your stay, return with your own gear and ride the same marked zones. If carrying a quiver every day gets old, add storage; if you travel without gear, rental is separate and available at the beach.
Gear, storage and optional damage insurance are not included in the Kitepass price.
Book your Kitepass → A 2–3 km private lagoon, mapped into zones
In typical conditions, the first 800 metres off the beach forms a knee-to-waist-deep sandy teaching area where many learners can stand; the active zone follows the actual tide and water level. Separate zones keep independent riders, beginners and wing/foil out of each other's lines — so nobody's in your way. Stay in the zones; the reefs sit on the far side.
Real wind data, not promises
Our own weather station has logged 2 million+ readings over 4 years. About 77% of days are rideable year-round — peaking near 85% in August, and still 6 in 10 even in December. The same data powers our own 16-day forecast, tuned to this exact lagoon — built by us.
% of days with a rideable session (≥ 12 kt holding ≥ 2 h of daylight), from 2,052,162 readings. Winter air ≈ 22 °C — pack a full wetsuit, not boardshorts. Wind blows 15–25 kt, 300+ windy days a year.

Is a Kitepass right for you?
A Kitepass is for independent riders. It keeps the independent zone clear and keeps you safe. Honest gatekeeping: if you're not riding upwind on your own yet, a pass isn't the right call — but a Refresh can assess and rebuild the missing skills. It does not guarantee that one session will make you independent.
Not quite there yet? Use a Refresh to assess and rebuild the gaps. A Kitepass starts only after you demonstrate the required skills and the local check confirms readiness.
Book a refresh → Kitepass pricing — no hidden fees
Beach use is priced by total days — the longer you stay, the less you pay per day. No surprise “spot fee” at the desk. Residents get 10% off short-term.
| Beach use (lagoon access) | Total stay | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Kitepass | 1 day | €10 |
| Kitepass | 3 days | €29 |
| Kitepass best value | 7 days | €63 |
| Kitepass | 14 days | €108 |
| Kitepass | 1 month | €188 |
Beach use = lagoon access on its own. Want to leave your kit at the spot between sessions? Add storage (day to 12-month). No gear with you? Rent on the spot. Day passes are paid at the beach; book ahead to reserve.
Travel light
Choose from 250+ kites across the stated size range. As the official, largest Flysurfer Test Point since 2009 and a Levitaz test point since 2015, we can arrange demos from available equipment when conditions are safe and rideable. The fleet does not guarantee a session.
