Super Kiteschule direkt am Strand in Mikri Vigla! Fao, mein Lehrer, war super kompetent und nett; es hat wirklich viel Spaß gemacht zu lernen! Auch Andreas, der für das Ausborgen von Material verantwortlich ist, hat immer alles im Überblick und man fühlt sich dadurch sehr sicher 👍

Nous avons passé une semaine à Thalasea Sports avec une amie pour kiter. Le club était juste en face de notre hôtel et le vent était au rendez-vous. Que ce soit Pascal ou Lou au bureau, Andreas chef de la location, Savannah monitrice et j'en oublie, l'équipe est super sympa, très professionnelle, et le matériel à disposition est top. Je conseille vivement ce club à ceux qui veulent rider à Naxos. Malorie et Joëlle de Genève

Nous étions 3 amis venus simplement voir du kitesurf sur la plage, et finalement nous avons réservé des cours… sans regret ! Dès l’accueil, Lou a été incroyable : souriante, arrangeante et très professionnelle. L’organisation était fluide et adaptée à nos besoins. Côté apprentissage, un grand merci aux moniteurs Fao, Pénélope et Jacques : pédagogues, patients et motivants. Grâce à eux, nous avons appris super vite et en toute sécurité, le tout dans une ambiance détendue et conviviale. Une expérience mémorable que nous recommandons les yeux fermés, aussi bien pour découvrir le kitesurf que pour progresser rapidement. Merci à toute l’équipe !

Excellent centre de kite. Le spot est magnifique et l’affluence est très bien gérée. Accueil au top. Profs très pro et sympathiques. Cours adaptés au niveau, pas de survente lorsque les cours ne sont plus nécessaires. Thalasea est une référence pour moi de comme cela devrait être ailleurs (je fais du kite depuis 2007, ma base de comparaison est étendue). Merci à vous!

The team is super friendly. Andrea met me on the beach and gave me a quick rundown. The boys quickly set me up and i was on my way in the water in a few mins. The spot is quite nice for wingfoiling. Gets deep straight away. Nice scenery around and not too crowded. Would definitely go there again. I was riding a duotone wing and board, decent quality intermediate gear. If you're an advanced winger, better to have your own gear.

Je recommande tres fortement ce centre : Nous (3 personnes) avons bénéficié d un accompagnement par des moniteurs de kite de très grande qualité (Joanne, Savanna et Fao). Le centre est géré par une personne (Lou) très arrangeante et efficace pour organiser au mieux vos sessions pendant tout votre séjour. Enfin il faut souligner le très bel emplacement sur la plage et la proximité immédiate d un restaurant/bar de plage tres sympa et agréables(pour un café, un dej, un verre au coucher du soleil ou un diner)

Kitefoiling lesson

If you’re an experienced kitesurfer looking for the next new thing to try, hydrofoiling could be the answer. 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.

Refresher class

Has it been a while since you last went kitesurfing? Or maybe you have some previous experience, but you don’t feel confident enough to get out there by yourself yet? 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)
