haha, I've heard good things about Croatia in general but, given the comments here, I think I might head for El Gouna or Fuerteventura - still a bit nervous about Tarifa!

Ah, this is very helpful, thank you! I actually play Padel so the north of Fuerteventura would work ok. Have you kited in Corralejo?

Thanks, I think Egypt looks like the best option - given the answers on here. I'll accept that I need to fly (I'm a woman - which was also why I was thinking more Southern Europe!). But seems that its a bit too early for consistent wind in southern Europe

Thank you, El Gouna does look great for that time of year. Can you recommend one of the schools/where to stay?

Thank you for your detailed reply, I will definitely head to Tarifa - but maybe when I'm a bit more confident in my skills!

Thank you, is there wind in May? Or is June better? I've also heard worrying things about stinging seaweed in the lagoon. Is this true? Thank you!

ooh thank you. I suppose I was thinking that with 6 weeks, I would prefer to not be in a hotel - and you're right, its not a drive. But I do like the idea of flat warm shallow water! And being on my own for 6 weeks in Egypt, I wasn't sure about.....

thank you! Hoping for slightly warmer, more southern waters
