Almost the whole coastline is surrounded by a reef belt, except in front of the centre. At FBC Marsa Alam, a great spot with constant sideshore wind from the left awaits you. However, the wind does not always blow, or at least not for the whole day, and the lagoon with shallow water offers ideal conditions for SUP. Whether you have never stepped onto a SUP board, or are an addict paddler that likes to push the limits of your endurance in the truly beautiful environment of the National Park and its protected flora & fauna, get ready for some very special encounters indeed ! The center offers SUP rental but also SUP lessons and SUP excursions so you really have no excuse. Tick one more thing off of your bucket list!
Should you overdose on windsurfing and need a change, FBC Marsa Alam also offers SUP tuition (and great excursions!) – something not to be missed in such an amazing natural environment where the wild life and the absolute peace will enchant you!
LANGUAGES: Courses are held in English, German, Italian and Russian
Almost the whole coastline is surrounded by a reef belt, except in front of the centre. At FBC Marsa Alam, a great windsurfing spot with constant sideshore wind from the left awaits you. A lagoon with shallow water offers ideal conditions for windsurfing beginner courses, and of course intermediates and experts also get their money’s worth!
The launching area is in a big shallow water lagoon. As soon as you sail out of this lagoon, moderate waves invite you to jump and play. The height of the waves depends on the wind strength, but they are always easy and safe. On your way back to the lagoon you can really plane through all maneuvers, for the best ever diversity and the joy of all Boarders. The wind blows very consistently from the north, often you have 5 Bft already in the morning, thus maximising the effective wind hours you can spend on your board.
Teaching can take place in any tidal conditions as the lagoon always has enough water. The lagoon offers perfect conditions for learning and improving, this regardless of your age: 7 to 107 welcome !
For safety reasons and due to the National Park regulations and the need to protect the natural wild life, kitesurfing is not offered at this spot.
We offer progressive Windsurfing Starter Training at FBC Marsa Alam. Everybody is welcome to try out and discover windsurfing with the latest, lightest and most adapted equipment !
