Join a beginner or advanced rider kitesurfing course from Monolithos Beach in Santorini and learn the techniques of this exhilarating water sport!
Monolithos Beach is a beautiful beach with black sand and crystal-clear waters, located on the eastern side of Santorini. Santorini is an iconic Greek island, known for its picturesque views, diverse landscapes and magical sunsets. The wind conditions of the Aegean Sea make this an ideal location to learn kitesurfing!
For your kitesurfing course, you'll meet a certified instructor at the starting point at Monolithos Beach. There are different introductory or advanced courses to choose from, depending on your desired duration and the skills you'd like to learn. The wind conditions on Monolithos Beach are ideal for all riding levels from beginners to experienced kite riders. Some hidden spots near the beach offer less chop, making this part of Santorini ideal for beginner kitesurfers. The latest kitesurfing equipment will be provided, including a kite, control bar, harness, board, and safety equipment (life jacket). Once you're geared up, the course begins!
For the 1-2 hour introductory courses, you'll stay on the beach and practice with a beginner's kite. The instructor will go through the theory of kitesurfing first, before you learn how to land the kite and how to pack the equipment. The 6-hour course is split up over two days. On this course, you'll start with the basics of kitesurfing, before moving into the water. You'll learn some techniques such as entering and exiting the water while controlling the kite, body drag upwind, and water start.
The 10-hour course is split up over 3 days. Once again, you will learn all of the basics of kitesurfing before moving on to more advanced moves, such as controlled stop, riding upwind and self-rescue. The advanced 1-hour course is a private lesson for experienced riders. The instructor will help you master techniques you'd like to practice, such as basic jump, jibe, and jump with grab. All of the courses are small with a maximum of 3 participants, to ensure a really personalised and dedicated lesson.
