Learn kitesurfing with our IKO Level 1 and 2 lessons at Paros Kite Beach in Pounta. This 9-hour course, split into 3 days with a 3-hour session each day, is perfect for beginners, covering all the essential skills to build a strong foundation in kitesurfing. You’ll progress from basic kite control to practicing your water start. In small groups of 2 students per kite, our certified IKO instructors guide you through both theoretical and practical exercises. By the end of the course, you'll be confident in handling the equipment, safely flying the kite, and controlling the kite with the board on your feet.
