Colona Watersports kitesurfing center opened June 1, 2002 at the Magawish Resort located next door to the 5* Sofitel in Hurghada, and is a kite focused school. They are affiliated with IKO (International Kiteboarding Organisation) and are training students to IKO standards leading to IKO certification. The Level I kitesurfing course starts three times a week and they are arranging Instructor Training Courses (ITC) twice yearly; the first one was successfully done in June 2002. Their kitesurfing instructors are IKO certified and speak English, German and Swedish.
The Magawish Hotel, Hurghada has the best beach in the area for kitesurfing, huge shallow areas for training, dedicated launch areas and a nice sand bank off shore.
Other facilities include compressed air for easy pumping of kites, rescue boat, equipment cleaning and storage, kite repair service and a workshop with necessary tools and spare parts.
Feedback from clients that have recently travelled to Hurghada and kitesurfed with Colona has been exceptionally good and so we highly recommend this outfit.
