Choose from a range of beginner kitesurfing courses in Rhodes and master the basics of this thrilling sport. Welcoming adventurers from ages 10 and up!

The course takes place at the surf & kite centre at Theologos Beach. Theologos is a charming village located on the northwest coast of the Greek island of Rhodes. It is known for its traditional Greek village atmosphere and beautiful natural beaches. The warm climate and clear waters make this beach an ideal spot for learning how to kitesurf!

You can choose from a course ranging from 3 hours to 3 days, with equipment rental available for up to 14 days to allow you to practice independently. The courses are small, with a maximum of 3 participants in each, to ensure the dedicated attention from the guide. With the 3-day courses, you have the opportunity to earn your VDWS kitesurfing certificate, which allows you to rent kitesurf material all over the world. Furthermore, in the event of an accident or damage claim, you can officially prove that you’ve got profound kitesurfing knowledge and training.

The kite centre is located on a huge property, offering a lot of beach space. Professional kitesurfing 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, guaranteeing you have the best gear. Restrooms, water showers, as well as washrooms for your equipment are available for you when needed. In addition, there is a cosy chill-out area, WiFi, and compressors to inflate your kite for you. There is also warm and cold food and beverages available, which you can enjoy in the hammocks or sun loungers.

For each course, you will start by learning the basics from the certified instructor. You will go through some basic knowledge about the wind and the weather conditions. In Theologos, the Meltemi wind blows all day long. It starts off low in the morning, optimal for beginners, and picks up around midday, becoming stronger in the afternoon. Towards the evening, a small wave, perfect for jumps and surfs, arises on the sandbank just 30 meters offshore.

After going through the assembly and disassembly of your kite, bar and lines, how to launch and land the kite, and kitesurfing safety, you are ready to set off into the water! You will go through kite control, water launch and methods for self-rescue. The guide will ensure your safety throughout the entire course. For the longer sessions, you will go through more advanced techniques such as landing on the board during planing, proper alignment of body and board, and tips and tricks for independent practice. There will be opportunities for breaks throughout the course.

To try something new and learn about kitesurfing techniques, join a beginner course from Theologos Beach in Rhodes!

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.
