Windsurfing vs Kitesurfing in Dahab: The Blue Lagoon suits both. Windsurfing is generally considered easier to pick up in the first few hours but has a longer learning curve to reach independence. Kitesurfing has a steeper initial learning curve but you progress to riding unassisted faster. Both are excellent sports to learn here.
