I've also been scouting for a windsurfing destination and so far Jericoacoara in Brazil seems to be the pick. Windsurf centre for gear hire seems excellent and the wind seems constant. Whilst the waves might not be there, I'm no pro. Anyone been there and recommend? (September/ October good times to visit?)Also seems to be a bit to do on the downtime. Good times, cheap food, cheap drinks,music&dancing, brazilians a plenty and of coarse the local people.

hey there havnt been to dahab, but have spent some time in eltur, its about two hours north of sham el sheik, much smaller place than dahab, one windsurf centre run by an english couple, who are really nice and a Russian kite/ sail centre. they described it as authentic Egyptian town, couldnt be described as anything else! in the entire town the only non Egyptians are the 20 odd sailer's! they have a web site, Google it. see what you think.

I have been there twice with "gybemasters" the winds were constant from about 10.30 am to 5.00pm not megga 18/25knts but really nice sailing, flattish near the beach and swell about 1km out. Lots of dolphins so dont panic when you see a load of dark shadows weaving in and out under your board. If i am honest there wasnt a lot for the family just the hotel....its a long way from anywere of interest, keep an eye on your valuables, the locals have a bit of a reputation but by the time you find out its to late.At the airport ensure you have some local money for the "tax" they only take local hard cash with no receipt i am sure its a scam but i couldnt get out of the airport without paying, i think it was about $20.00 or so.....have fun!
