KB4girls in Egypt

KB4girls will be guest-starring at the annual KiteJamboree this year being held May 18 -20th in the beautiful Red Sea destination of El Gouna, Egypt. The special dedicated clinic will offer female kiteboarders a very special chance to hone their skills with nine time world champion Kristin Boese and to kitesurf together with many other female kiteboarders to take their motivation to the next level.

Kristin Boese, founder of KB4girls says: “To have our KB4girls event be part of the KiteJamboree is especially great since it gives our participants the chance to fly to Egypt not only to be part of our girls’ clinic but also to enjoy other activities going on during the week. They can bring their family, take part in competitions to test their newly learned skills and of course party in the evening or explore beautiful El Gouna. Our three day KB4girls event will be the highlight for all female kiteboarders coming to El Gouna for the clinic and I can not wait to get the girls together for a lot of fun and of course to help them learn some new tricks.”

KiteJamboree is an annual kitesurfing event including demos of newest kite gear, competitions, a beach fashion show, parties and more. It is the biggest event of its kind in this part of the globe and brings pro riders and international competitors together with amateur riders.

The wind forecast for El Gouna looks really good at the moment, so all participants will certainly enjoy their time there. Also check the Superforecast for El Gouna as it should give more accurate results in this region. You can also check the real-time wind reports for El Gouna during the event.

Updates for Superforecast Europe

Today we have updated our Superforecast for Europe. This update includes the same enhancements in the physical model as we introduced in our recently announced Superforecast for Egypt. We also use the same topography model with a horizontal resolution of 1km - probably the most detailed topography available!

These changes should result in more accurate predictions especially in mountainious regions and regions which show topographic wind speed modifications.
