Ikaria Surf School

Ikaria surf school was found back at 2014 from a young and passionate team with surfing. Their love for Ikaria island and for surfing, mixed up and brought a new school to the world to share the culture and history of Ikaria. The Ikaria Surf School is very conscious about respecting the island’s natural sources, history, and culture.

The School respects and functions under the philosophy of sustainability and of an alternative touristic approach . We focus on empowering the training of our guest-student, in order to get the most of a lifetime’s experience. Fun, affordable and safe learning, is, and always will be, a high priority for our certified surfing professors and collaborators.
