Inflatable kite set up, control flying, safety systems, managing practice area, spot analysis, first body drugs.

We have ideal conditions and experienced instructors along with the latest technology equipment. Learn how to kite surf safely.

* No time limit! That means the student does not have the stress that he/she will run out of time during the lesson. We spend the right time with the student until he/she learns every level with the right way and the most important, until he/she learns the safety systems perfect. The levels are based on IKO standards. We are also the only one Kiteboarding Courses in Greece that we use the latest method of teaching with Jetski. The Kiteboarding equipment we use is the latest technology, with 5th elements, (if it is necessary) lightest weight for easier & faster water re-launches.

The courses policy asks all students to wear appropriate safety gear, which is included in the lesson price. All the kite control bars which are used by the instructors for the students and the rentals are fitted with safety release and leash that have been tested by the instructors and are in100% working order.

All students learn how to use the safety systems from the first lesson. Lessons are given only while the wind conditions are below 20 knots. Most importantly, we have NEVER had an accident in our centre!!!

Low season 190 Euros and High season (5th July / 25th August) 210 Euros
