El Gouna's Mangroovy Beach is one of the world's safest places to learn kitesurfing — flat shallow water with a sandy bottom out to 200m. The Mediterranean-summer winds are reliable March-October. Half a dozen schools (Kiteboarding Club, Mangroovy Beach Club, KBA), most affiliated with Red Sea diving operators for cross-discipline weeks.

...mit dem GANZ GROßEM UNTERSCHIED, das das nicht die Station "Red Sea Zone" ist - sondern "Kitepower" an Anfang des Mangroovy-beach. - Red Sea Zone ist die 2. Station (ca. 400m nördlich) und der Kite-Boarding-Club kommt dann als 3. Station nochmals ca. 300m nördlich.
