All of our courses are based on the official IKO training program and are offered in German, French, English, Italian, Greek and more. One of our qualified IKO certified instructors will guide you through a safe and fun session that is tailored to your individual needs and adapts to your personal progression speed. Using radio assistance your IKO instructor will be able to give you the right feedback at the right time, allowing you to correct your mistakes instantly and thus advance in the most efficient way possible. Private lessons are the fastest way to progress, since they allow you to progress at your own pace without interruptions. You will benefit from your instructor’s undivided attention, be able to maintain your individual rhythm and reach your goals sooner than you imagined, giving you a great feeling of sucsuccess. Semi-private sessions are suitable for kiters of similar level and body weight, except for the first session of theory and piloting the kite, which can be carried out regardless of your weight. You will be sharing the kite with your partner which allows you time to rest in between turns, help each other and compare your experiences. |

At our fantastic spot we are lucky to have some of the strongest winds in the Cyclades, created by a venturi effect that is formed by the squeeze between Naxos and the neighboring island of Paros. Come check out this magical place that every watersports enthusiast should visit! The Meltemi is a strong northerly wind which generally hits our kite spot on Parthena Beach from a side-onshore direction – ideal for practicing kitesurfing in safe conditions! The wind usually starts in the morning around 10 am, strengthening during the afternoon to 5-6 Beaufort, before dying out at sunset. However it is not uncommon for the Meltemi to continue blowing day and night for a week or more, allowing you to sneak in an early morning session or to ride all the way into the sunset and beyond! |
