I had an amazing experience with this kite school! The instructor was incredibly professional, patient, and made sure I felt confident throughout the lessons. Even though we had limited wind during the week, the school went out of their way to find the best slots for me to maximize my time on the water. The equipment provided was top-notch, and the advice and guidance I received were excellent. I truly felt that the team was invested in helping me get the most out of my experience. I would highly recommend this kite school to anyone looking to learn or improve their kiteboarding skills!

Rented a full set of hear here for two days. Duotone kites - my favorite! First day was lighter so rode a 13, second day I stole an early session on an 11m before we had to leave. They were very helpful and accommodating, efficient process too which is great because who wants to dink around when the wind is blowing . All kinds of gear to suit your needs, and a fun spot to kite. The water is so clear!! It does get a bit busy but it's wide open upwind if you make the effort. Thanks for some great sessions!!

Excellente semaine de kite à Naxos ! Le centre Thalasea est idéalement situé sur le spot de Mikri Viglia, avec en prime un bar restaurant hors pair, de quoi ravir tout le monde ! Un accueil personnalisé et une prise en charge professionnelle par toute l'équipe. Toujours en contact radio avec le moniteur, j'ai pu prendre confiance dans des conditions parfois denses sur le spot. 5 jours de vent sur 7 début août , je suis ravi du stage ! A refaire sans hésiter !

I had the absolute pleasure of spending time at the kitesurfing spot in Mikri Vigla and training with the amazing team at Thalasea. Jasmine and Andrea, the owners, are truly wonderful people who create such a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. I had my lessons with Dimitris two years ago, and I learned so much in such a short amount of time thanks to his excellent instruction. The equipment provided is top-notch, and the whole team is incredibly flexible, always accommodating your needs with a smile. Also because Jasmine and Andrea speak so many languages fluently, it doesn’t matter where you are from, you will get along instantly in your mother tongue 😜 The location itself is breathtaking – the beach is one of a kind, with stunning sunsets that warm you heart and will stay for you as an unforgettable memory. Right next to the spot is a super cool beach bar with delicious food, great drinks, and super friendly and funny owner. You feel instantly comfortable and at home, surrounded by good vibes and the perfect holiday atmosphere. The combination of kiting, Greek coffee, marvelous food, time on your hand to unwind, read a book and stare into the distance and with a clear view all the way to Paros, and of course being surrounded by genuine, happy, ambitious, helpful, and beautiful people, inside and out, makes Thalasea the best Kite Center I have ever been and all one needs to recharge with life’s joy!!! I cannot recommend Thalasea and the entire experience enough. It’s pure relaxation, and a perfect place to learn or improve your kitesurfing skills. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable and special time. Thank you very much Jasmine, Andrea, Mitso and Nikos! Polla filia apo to Berolino 🥰

Extremely responsive and knowledgeable leadership. Good, fun instructors. The centre is right on the water - no need to walk to the beach. Has a lovely, high quality cafe, from where you can see kitesurfers. I did 10 days of lessons: would highly recommend learning to kitesurf here. This beach in Naxos has very consistent wind: highly recommend it!

Sind schon zum zweiten Mal hier. Extrem kompetentes Team, sehr entspannt - und sehr freundlich. Ich wollte mir eine Pumpe kaufen, weil ich meine zu Hause in der Wingfoiltasche vergessen hatte - sie haben mir abgeraten, weil ich mir eh eine von ihnen ausborgen könne… Der Umgang mit den Schülern ist sehr professionell und wertschätzend

Usually they have very good wind conditions from april to october.

Notably, this activity allows you to make the most of the lighter wind days and experience an all new thrill as you glide along above the water on the smoothest ride of your life. In fact, it is a perfect introduction to the newest form of kitesurfing!

Private kitefoiling lesson with our complete gear, 90€ per hour / 70€ with your own kite.

In either case, our Refresher is just what you are looking for! Specifically, you can book in for a private kitesurfing lessons in Naxos with one of our IKO certified instructor to get you back on track in no time!

Refresher Kitesurfing lessons 80€ per hour including equipment

Advanced Training

To take your kitesurfing to the next level, you can participate in a radio-assisted, intensive Progression Session. During this session, you can step up your riding game, land new freestyle moves and old school jumps, or try a strapless or a foil board for the first time. Notably, a minimum required IKO level of 3K (riding upwind) is necessary to participate.

Advanced  premium with bbtalk**, +40€ per hour

**About advanced : bbtalk is a 2-way radio system that allows you to not only hear your IKO rider but also talk back to him/her. For the advanced premium the IKO rider will join you on the water with his/her own kite.

Supervised Riding Sessions

Supervised riding is available only for riders who have previously done at least 1 hour of private lessons with one of our instructors and are subsequently deemed independent enough to kitesurf on their own, without further radio assistance, under the supervision of one of our team members. However, please note that especially when the kite spot is crowded and/or the wind conditions are extreme (either very strong or very light), supervised riding might not be possible. In this case, we might suggest you take a private lesson instead to ensure maximum safety.

Supervised session 60€ per hour including equipment

IKO certification

Firstly, for independent riders who want to be evaluated and certified, we offer the possibility of an IKO assessment session. During this session, you will have the chance to show proof of your level at any IKO affiliated kite school around the world. Secondly, to be certified as an independent rider, you need to demonstrate specific skills such as riding upwind in all conditions, knowing the ROW rules, launching and landing safely, and handling the kite on the beach. Additionally, you will be expected to show proficiency in body-dragging upwind to retrieve your board. You will receive an IKO Kiteboarder Card (vCard) at the completion of the session.

IKO certification, 60€ including equipment (Duration: max.1 hour)

Rental check

As safety is one of our main priorities, before renting any kite gear from our kite center, every person will have to go through a Rental Check under the supervision of one of our IKO certified instructors. During this session, you will have to prove that you are an independent kiteboarder (IKO level 3K). If you pass the Rental Check, the fee will be deducted from your rental price.

Rental check, 20€ including equipment (Duration: max.30 minutes)
