Rhodes: Kitesurf Extra Help Course for Riders 1hr — a compact, focused experience designed for intermediate riders eager to refine their skills or get personalized tips in a stunning Greek setting. If you already know how to stay upwind and ride confidently, this class offers a great way to boost your confidence with expert guidance.
We love how this short session combines professional instruction with the latest equipment, making it a perfect add-on for a day at the beach. Plus, the live advice via waterproof walkie-talkie adds an interactive element that many visitors find helpful. The fact that it’s a small group experience ensures plenty of personalized attention.
However, for travelers expecting a full-length lesson or a comprehensive beginner course, this one-hour option might feel a bit limited. Still, for those already familiar with riding and looking to fine-tune their technique or get quick tips, it hits the sweet spot.
This experience is best suited for riders with some kitesurfing experience, who want an extra boost or a few pointers without committing to a full-day lesson. It’s also a good choice for those who appreciate professional guidance and want to use the latest equipment on the market.

An Overview of the Experience
This 1-hour kitesurf course in Rhodes is geared toward those who already have some riding experience—specifically, riders who can stay upwind comfortably. The idea isn’t to teach you how to kiteboard from scratch but to give you personalized tips to improve your technique, troubleshoot issues, and perhaps even master some new tricks.
The session begins with a meet-up at the beach, where you’ll be fitted with the latest kitesurfing gear. The instructor will walk you through setting up your equipment, explaining how to interpret wind conditions, and reviewing international rules to stay safe. Once equipped, you’ll start practicing under the watchful eye of your licensed instructor.
What sets this experience apart is the live advice system—a waterproof walkie-talkie that allows your instructor to give real-time feedback as you ride. This means you’re not just passively listening but actively improving, with guidance tailored precisely to your current skill level. Several reviews note that this live coaching makes a real difference, especially when trying to troubleshoot issues or refine your stance.
The instructor will encourage you to make your first independent rides, with immediate advice on how to adjust your technique. Expect to get salty, wet, and probably a bit more confident by the end of the session. The focus is on making the most of your limited time by providing practical tips that you can carry forward to your next session.

What’s Included and What to Expect
Included in your booking are all the necessary equipment, so you won’t need to worry about bringing your own gear. The session lasts about 60 minutes, which is enough time to receive targeted instruction, practice, and absorb tips. The instructor speaks both English and French, making it accessible for a wide range of visitors.
The activity is held in a small group, limited to one participant, which means you’ll get personalized attention—a big plus for anyone who appreciates detailed feedback. As noted in reviews, this one-on-one setup helps you focus on your specific needs without feeling lost in a crowd.
Because weather conditions greatly influence kiteboarding, your session might be rescheduled or canceled if the wind isn’t suitable. This is standard for any outdoor water sport, so it’s wise to check the forecast and arrive prepared.
What to Bring and What to Keep in Mind
To make your experience comfortable and safe, pack essentials such as hat, swimwear, towel, sunscreen, water, and comfortable clothes. Remember, this activity isn’t suitable for children under 8, pregnant women, or individuals with certain health issues like back or heart problems.
Participants must be able to swim, and you should arrive about 15 minutes early to gear up and settle in. Keep in mind, this class isn’t a full beginner course—it’s meant for those who already understand the basics of riding and want to refine their skills.
The Experience Provider and Pricing
Operated by Kitesurf Ialysos, this provider has a reputation for professionalism and top-notch instruction. Their focus on small groups and personalized coaching makes the session especially appealing to serious riders or those who value individual attention.
Pricing reflects the quality and tailored nature of the experience. While the exact cost isn’t specified here, reviews emphasize that it offers good value for the personalized coaching and high-quality equipment provided. The flexible booking options—including free cancellation up to 24 hours in advance—add peace of mind for travelers with unpredictable schedules.

If you’re already familiar with riding and just want a quick, focused session to boost your skills, this is an ideal choice. The combination of live coaching, top equipment, and small group size ensures you get quality instruction without spending hours in a class.
It’s particularly well-suited for those who enjoy practical, hands-on learning and prefer to work directly with an instructor rather than in a large group. The emphasis on personalized feedback and safety makes it an excellent way for intermediate riders to gain confidence and possibly learn some new tricks.
However, if you’re a complete beginner or seeking a comprehensive, multi-day course, you might find this one-hour session too limited. It’s best viewed as a refinement opportunity rather than a full introduction to the sport.
