There's lots going on just behind the 'jasmine hotel' - which is about 5 mins away from the airport. There's a windsurfing beach and
kite beach from which the tommy freidle pro centre operate - open to everyone though. I used to store all my kit at tommy freidles even
though I wasn't staying there - they were really helpfull.
not sure about kite sizes though.
Don't have a cow man!

magawish hotel is the best spot about 30mins from the airport, theres a lagoon at one end its a bit sheltered but if you can kite out
theres a sandy ..reef about 1 kilometere out were its knee deep, there a kite centre there and they'll fetch you in a rib if you get
into trouble, the only problem i found was that the big hotels formed a wind shadow which made getting back to the same point a pain
but i ended up walking.
watch out for some of the coral its very sharp, take a day snorkling to paradise island its a good boat trip and fantastic day out.
look up magawish on goggle and you'll find it..watch the taxi drivers they'll rip you off
, saying that though 3 cans of coke plus two 2litres of bottled water haggled for 10p!!
its a very dry heat so take plenty of fluids going again myself in feb ..moon beach awesome
To Infirmary and beyond..

When I went to egypt I found a camel pack hydration system was brilliant when sailing as no need to come back to shore to get a
drink.
Moon beach, awesome place hope to go back there one day
