Activity description

If you have never experienced kitesurfing, you can learn how to kitesurf in a few days in one of the best beaches for Kitesurfing!

In Theologos beach in Rhodes, you will find Surf & Kite Theologos. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced rider, the experienced instructors of Surf & Kite Theologos will teach you everything you need to know and more, helping you progress to full independence. 

The centre

The Kite centre is located on a huge property, offering a lot of beach space. Core and Carved equipment is available for rent and also used for training courses of all levels. Currently, there are about 70 kites and 40 boards, which are well maintained or replaced when damaged. Therefore, you’ve always the best gear.

Restrooms, water showers, as well as washrooms for your equipment are there for you when needed. In addition, there is a cosy chill-out area, Wifi, and compressors to inflate your kite for you– all for free. In cooperation with Billys Place, you will have warm and cold foods and beverages, which you can enjoy in the hammocks or sun loungers in the chill-out area.

The wind

In the morning, the Meltemi blows with just 2-3 Bft. optimally for beginners, but as soon as the wind gets stronger during midday and the first whitecaps can be seen, the advanced ones among you get your money’s worth with winds of 5-6 Bft. The wind is side shore. 

Towards the evening, a small wave, perfectly for jumps and surfs, arises on the sandbank just 30 meters offshore and a little bit more out the sea you can some days ride a nice swell. June to September is hot, perfect boardshorts weather.

In the pre and off-season (May and October), the spot offers you yet another highlight: the Tramontana wind from Turkey. During those times the waves at the sandbank can reach 2 meters and the wind blows at 8 Bft. Conditions are mostly onshore, than side shore. These conditions are a bit tougher and not recommended for beginners.

We were group of 3 beginners (2 kids + adult). Theory was connected with some questions and a bit of practice. Cool!

  • 3.5 / 5

Wir haben uns nur mit der Steuerung des Kites beschäftigt und waren in den gesamten 6h kein einziges Mal im Wasser. Am ersten Tag haben wir eine Sicherheitseinführung erhalten und den Kite fliegen geübt. Am zweiten Tag meinte der Surflehrer dass wir ins Wasser gehen. Dann haben wir jedoch erneut fast die gesamte Zeit am Strand Kite fliegen geübt. Der Surflehrer meinte dann dass er uns nun die Neoprenanzüge gibt und wir ins Wasser gehen. Wir sind daher zur Surfhütte zurückgelaufen. Dort hat ein weiterer Surfschüler sehr ungeduldig auf seinen Kurs gewartet. Daher wurde uns dann gesagt dass wir doch nicht mehr ins Wasser gehen und dafür zusätzliche Stunden am nächsten Tag buchen müssten.
