Activity description

Windzone offers kite lessons for beginners or advanced kiters. You can choose either a private course or a group course. The instructors of Windzone are known for being very friendly while focusing on the quality of the courses. Usually the courses last either 2 hours for the private, either 3 hours in small groups. As it is very challenging to take your first steps in kiteboarding, the group courses cannot be of more than two people for the quality of the course would be affected. 

The Spot
Psalidi is one of the most famous beaches for windsurfing on Kos island. the beach is mostly sandy and pebbly at some points. The most important thing is that the wind blows almost every day making it the perfect spot to go kitesurfing. Near the main beach, the water is quite shallow at some points which makes it ideal for beginners to learn how to use the kite.
