WINDSURFING IN EL TUR
El Tur, an authentic Egyptian town, is the capital of South Sinai and
100 km from Sharm El Sheikh. El Tur Windsurfing is located on the private
beach of the Moses Bay Hotel in El Tur and, due to excellent wind conditions,
offers world-class windsurfing. They are in the process of updating
some of their boards to JP but at present the centre is stocked with
Naish, Maui Project and F2 - Powerglides and Discovery's. Naish boards
are Enduro and Supercross and range from 120l down to 94l Maui Project
Style boards (including Comp Style) from 113l down to 87l. Their Rigs
are all NeilPryde, ranging from 7.4m to 3.7m. They also have a range
of beginner sails for those new to the sport.
The sailing location offers four different areas for sailing.
• A lagoon for beginners and maybe some freestyle tuition/practice
• The main stretch runs directly from the private beach across the main
bay to the mosque. Generally flat but with some wind blown chop in front of the
lagoon for some chop hop/jumping practice or aerial freestyle launchpad. The
run back allows you to plane right back into the beach or practice carve gybes
on perfect flat water conditions
• To the outside, where the Gulf of Suez wraps round into the bay, rolling
swell offers big launch pads for jumping or some swell riding
• A few km up the Gulf of Suez a full wave beach is located. This has side-on
to onshore winds depending where you sail, and gives proper breaking waves
up to 2m. Great for major jumping and proper wave riding. And no reef to worry
about!
The
3 star Moses Bay Hotel has 56 guest rooms (family rooms are available),
all fitted with air conditioning, fridge, television, telephone, balcony

dishes being permanently available. Dining can also take place outside
