Wetskillz Kite Camp (Theologos, Greece)

ABOUT THE SURF CAMP

The kite center is located on Theologos beach, far away from all-inclusive hotels and mass tourism, close to the traditional village of Theologos. The well-known Meltemi winds blowing predominantly from West – North West , create a perfect side, side onshore wind and, in combination with the fact that it isn’t attractive to mass tourism , Theologos beach has earned the title of the best area on Rhodes island, especially for beginner kiteboarders.

We assure you that the way to get into the kitesurfing world will be the safest and fastest possible, whether you are a beginner or an advanced kiter. Coaching with our highly experienced kitesurf instructors will help you to achieve your goals. You don’t need to be strong to learn kitesurfing. Whatever your shape, size or form, there are no barriers! Kitesurfing is for everyone. Kitesurfing is not dangerous. The only criteria are to be taught correctly. A lesson can only be helpful.

MORE INFO, HOW TO GET THERE & FAQ

It is windy every day!!! Rhodes island is the best kite destination in Europe during the summer season between May and October. Several spots with similar conditions on the west coast of the island. One of them is Theologos beach. We picked Theologos beach to set up our center because of the endless space in and out the water. It just can’t get crowded, we use 600m long coastline only for our center users.
The best possible wind direction CROSS-CROSS ON SHORE makes the life of every kiter easier and of course is ideal for learners. Usually the wind starts blowing lighter in the morning around 09.00-10.00 am and kicks in around midday blowing strongly until the sun goes down around 20.30pm, yes eight thirty! Super long days in the water and no rush to wake up after last night’s party!

Characterization of surroundings/region

 Rhodes is quite a big island; there are several places you must visit and many different ways to get there! Public airconditioned buses which have regular punctual services around the island, as well as organized day trips by bus or by boat! And if you prefer to travel independently, there is a huge selection of car or bike rental firms to choose from.
