Learn new skills on a beginner's windsurfing lesson at Mylopotas Beach in Ios!

Ios is a beautiful Greek island, forming part of the Cyclades group in the Aegean Sea. This windsurfing lesson in Ios will take place at Mylopotas Beach, one of the island's most renowned beaches. The beach boasts a long stretch of golden sand and crystal-clear turquoise waters, and is a hub for water sports!

The beginner's windsurfing lesson in Ios starts at Mylopotas Beach, where you'll meet the certified instructor. They will provide all of the necessary equipment, including your board, sail, wetsuit, and life jacket. This activity is suitable for complete beginners and will take place in a small group. After getting set up with your equipment, you'll start by practising on the beach, learning how to use the board and sail, and about the main weather conditions that can affect handling and navigation. Once you have mastered your three-point mantra (mast, feet, boom) and T-stance, you'll move into the water.

The conditions at Mylopotas Beach are ideal for windsurfing. The Cyclades are known for their strong northernly winds, while the water at the beach is relatively flat, perfect for beginners! The instructor will teach you the basics of steering and tacking. Using the light winds in the sheltered bay, you'll practice sailing to a chosen point on the water, keeping your balance and learning how to manipulate the sail. At the end of the beginner's windsurfing lesson in Ios, you'll return to the starting point at Mylopotas Beach.
