Learn to Windsurf Together: Family Lessons in Dahab at 5 Kvadratov
Windsurfing has long been seen as a sport for the brave, the athletic, the solo adventurers chasing adrenaline across turquoise waves. But if you look beyond the high-speed action and bold freestyle tricks, you’ll discover another side of windsurfing — one that’s calmer, warmer, and full of shared joy. That side lives in Dahab, on the shores of the Red Sea, and it welcomes families to take their very first steps on the water together.
At 5 Kvadratov windsurfing station, we believe windsurfing isn’t just a personal sport. It’s something you can experience as a family, from your child’s first time holding a sail to riding side-by-side across the quiet morning lagoon. Here, learning is not rushed, and smiles matter more than speed.
The Lagoon: A Natural Classroom
Dahab’s famous lagoon is a true gem for beginners. Protected by a natural sandbar, the water here stays calm, flat, and shallow — especially in the mornings, when the wind is light and perfect for first-timers. It’s during these hours that our instructors welcome parents and kids to the water, creating a playful yet safe environment where everyone can learn at their own pace.
The mirror-like surface of the sea reflects not only the sky but the bond between parent and child, sharing something completely new. It’s a moment of connection — not through screens or routines, but through wind, sun, and balance on the board.
Gear for All Sizes and Ages
Windsurfing is a gear-sensitive sport, but don’t worry — we’ve got that covered. At 5 Kvadratov, our equipment includes the latest lightweight sails and stable beginner boards in a variety of sizes, including gear specially designed for children.
Children from as young as 5 years old can safely learn using mini sails tailored to their height and strength. Adults get their own comfortable setups too, whether you’re a complete novice or just returning to the sport after a break.
Wetsuits, harnesses, and even soft booties are available in all sizes — meaning that from head to toe, your whole family will be properly outfitted, warm, and ready to go.
Instructors Who Know How to Teach Kids (and Parents)
Teaching children is very different from teaching adults — and our team knows that well. Our certified instructors use a mix of fun, visual cues, and gentle encouragement to help kids understand the wind, the sail, and how to move safely on the board.
Lessons often feel like games: catching the wind, steering between cones, making a “pirate turn” around a buoy. And for the adults? Clear explanations, personal attention, and plenty of time to practice.
What’s more, our instructors are fluent in multiple languages — including English, Russian, and French — and can tailor lessons to your family’s needs. Whether you want private instruction, group lessons, or just a few guided sessions, we can build the perfect plan for your holiday.
Safe, Supportive, and Fun
Safety is always our priority, but we also understand the value of making windsurfing fun. Our beginner area is always supervised, with safety boats nearby. Parents can focus on their own lesson while their children are watched over, or you can ride together — often side by side, with a smile and a high-five.
We also offer special “parent and child” sessions, where you can learn on your own board while staying close enough to support your little one. These shared experiences often become the highlight of the vacation — a story your kids will tell again and again once they’re back home.
Beyond Windsurfing: A Place for the Whole Family
When you’re done on the water, there’s more to enjoy. The station features a shaded beach area with loungers, drinks, and snacks — perfect for resting between sessions. Nearby cafes serve fresh juice, local dishes, and ice cream. Kids can play in the sand, meet others, or simply relax under the sun.
For families staying longer, we offer packages that include multiple days of lessons, board rentals, and even photo sessions — so you can capture that first ride forever.
Make It a Family Holiday to Remember
Introducing your child to windsurfing doesn’t just teach them a sport — it builds confidence, balance, and courage. And learning together as a family adds a special kind of joy that no tour or day trip can match.
Whether it’s your first lesson or your tenth, 5 Kvadratov in Dahab is here to guide, support, and celebrate every splash, turn, and glide along the way.
Let this be the year you swap screens for sails, schedules for sunsets, and give your child a memory that will last a lifetime.
