Up until recently if you wanted to learn a new water sport it would have had to be either wakeboarding or kitesurfing since those two sports are fairly easy to get lessons for. But now a new center opened up called Kuwait Watersports that offers two new activities you can add to the list; windsurfing and sailing.
Their lessons vary in prices but 1 hour of private windsurfing or sailing lessons is KD30 which is similar in price to say an hour of private wakeboarding (KD35). They also offer lessons for kids and you can even rent or buy equipment from them. Personally I’d be interested in trying windsurfing but other than that and sailing they also have paddle boarding and kayaking.
So if you want to try a new watersport, check out their website [Here]
Note: Also, in case you weren’t aware, there is a sailing club for expats that has been around since the early 90s called Kuwait Sailing Club. You can check those guys out as well but they don’t offer sailing lessons. [Link]

I do windsurfing, and would love to try it in Kuwait – as long as there is a place to do it safely, without being run over by a jetski.
Based on the photo above they windsurf in the pearl city lagoons. No jet skis allowed there
I’ve heard that jet skis aren’t allowed, but I always see them there.
They also have a water sports center in Movenpick Bidaa where you can try sailing, kayaking and windsurfing.
Yeah it’s called Kuwait Watersports and this post is about them…
Is the best place for wakeboarding through Q8Balance? Keep meaning to check them out.
its the only way i’m aware of unless you have a boat or a friend with a boat
Kuwait Watersports unfortunately operates out of Bidaa only. Looking at the water quality and traffic on the water in Bidaa, would I rather have seen them operating in Khiran……….
it would of been great if Watersports had a base in Khairan, My childrens want to do the training but they spend the weekends in Khairan and not in position to do it during weekdays due to school issues.
Hello folks,
Does anyone know of a windsurf equipment shop in Kuwait? we are in Saudi and there is nothing available here.
