Kitesurfing in Spring

Kitesurfing Destinations for the Spring Time

Rhodes is more than just a spot with good wind. Sure, that’s why most of us are here – but the island has so much more to offer that it’d be a shame to only look at the water. In the mornings, the Meltemi is usually still calm; it really picks up from midday – the perfect time to squeeze in a little trip before you hit the water.
Kos feels like a second home to me now – yet with every visit I discover new favorite spots. Some are a little off the tourist trail, others you might already know, but all have earned a firm place on my list. Here are my absolute favorites that I visit every time I’m on the island.
Kitesurfing and family – for many, that sounds like a mismatch. One enjoys time on the water while the others sit bored on the beach? Not at our family spots. We’ve picked five locations where kiting, kids, and partners all get their money’s worth – with safe conditions and plenty to do off the spot so no one complains.

Learning to kitesurf – when is the right time?

Many people watch riders from the beach and delay their first course for months. Too dangerous, too hard, too expensive – almost everyone starting out has these thoughts. But the best time is always the same: now.

Kitesurfing isn’t about age, strength, or prior experience. You don’t need board-sport skills, sculpted arms, or surf experience. What you do need: time at the beginning, and the will to stick with it even when progress isn’t instant. The wind is unpredictable – that’s part of it. Accept that, and your first progress will come faster than you think.

A solid base fitness is enough. You should be able to swim and weigh at least 30 kg. There’s no upper limit – neither for weight nor age. Learning at 40, 50, or 60 is no problem as long as you feel fit and are up for something new.

Rhodes is an island you always come back to — and this time, after over five years, it was a true reunion for me. Arriving by ferry from Kos, the first saganaki on the beach, and a kite session with only six kiters in the water — this kitesurf trip in Greece shows why Rhodes is among the best spots for beginners and intermediates. I’ll take you through the medieval Old Town of Rhodes, the sleepy mountain village of Theologos, and sessions at the spot — and of course to the KiteWorldWide dinner at Taverna Drosia, where the table was overflowing. A community trip that proves: kitesurfing is more than wind and water. It’s the people, the evenings, the like-minded crew — and that feeling of being exactly in the right place.

In May we head back outdoors as the sun beckons and life slowly moves outside! Weekends are planned on the coast, evenings mean a barbecue, and over a cold beer we swap stories from a perfect day on the water. That’s why May is ideal for a kite trip. Southern European destinations awaken from winter, serving plenty of wind and pleasant temps. For those who like it warmer and more adventurous, check out Sri Lanka or Morocco. Both offer ideal May conditions for a kite adventure with a touch of the exotic.
