Kirstin

Founder of the Kiba Kitehouse

I want my holiday home in El Gouna to be more than just a beautiful and comfortable place to stay – I want it to be a place that brings people together.

I’ve traveled a lot throughout my life and always loved staying in hostels because they made it so easy to meet people and feel connected wherever I went. After discovering kitesurfing, my travels increasingly revolved around the sport, with Cape Town and El Gouna becoming two of my favorite destinations.

Over time, El Gouna became much more than just a holiday destination to me. I made friends who live there or keep coming back – the so-called “Gounis.” Eventually, I decided to buy a house for my own stays in El Gouna. And whenever I’m not there, I want it to be a place that others can enjoy.

Back home in Heiligenhafen, right on the Baltic Sea in Germany, I’ve already gained plenty of experience hosting holiday guests. One of the things I love most is seeing familiar faces return – both in El Gouna and back home on the Baltic coast.

Since becoming a mom in 2024, I’ve also come to understand the particular needs of families traveling with young children. I’m very happy to know a wonderful nanny in El Gouna whom I can also connect with my guests.

As Germany is still my main home base, I’m grateful to have a reliable property management team in El Gouna, as well as the support of friends who live there.

Kite Event Weeks

Tini loves kitesurfing and El Gouna – and you can feel it the moment you meet her! During our Kite Event Weeks, she looks after our guests with genuine passion and makes sure everyone has an unforgettable time.

After living in El Gouna for two years, she briefly returned to Germany – but by 2024, one thing was clear: El Gouna is home. She spends most of her time at the KBC beach, where she takes care of social media, and since the end of 2024, she’s also been working as a kite instructor.

With her outgoing personality, passion for kitesurfing, and unmistakable El Gouna vibe, Tini makes every week something special!
