Program

You will learn the basic skills and abilities needed to harness the power of the wind as well as self-rescue techniques that can be extremely useful in case of an emergency. You do not need any prior experience to start sailing. In the first couple of hours, you will learn the practical and theoretical aspects of the sport, the formation of the win, the points of sail, safe sailing, and the interaction between the wind and the wing. The instructor will provide you with a brief introduction to the wing kit that you will be using the rigging process and fine-tuning techniques.

Then, it is time to get started with a few practical demonstrations: the secure position, the static turn, and the sailing position. After making sure you have understood and successfully repeated the above exercises, you will learn to steer the board. During the first session in the water, the student will start to sail across the wind within the limits of a restricted and safe sailing area. Progressively, you will be introduced to upwind sailing, the no-go zone.

In a matter of hours, you will be incorporating all the essential wing techniques and will be ready for the concepts of downwind sailing and jibing. Training will be the priority. You have two hours of practice every day so Nemely Windsurf- SUP Center always schedules according to the best weather conditions. They are trying to make the course early in the morning so you will have the rest of the day free. In case of zero wind or to much wind, they do have other activities at the center to play. Hours of training that are lost because of bad forecast will be done the following day.

Location

The wing camp will take place in Nemely center at Avis beach. The beach is named after the Avis Tomato Factory that used to produce the typical tomato paste of Santorini. The presence of the volcano is evident on the beach that is covered in small volcanic pebbles and black sand, like the majority of the beaches in Santorini. Its waters are deep and clear. This quiet, uncrowded beach is partly organized with a few sun loungers and straw umbrellas and in the close distance, you can find some restaurants, snack bars, and a mini-market.

There are many trees following the length of the beach that creates a nice and peaceful atmosphere. Makris Beach Hotel is located in the center of Kamari beach, 10 minutes walking distance away from your training area (Nemely Center). Without the hustle and bustle of the main town of Santorini, Kamari lacks nothing inconvenience and in fact offers a plethora of choices in restaurants, cafés, and shops. Its great location lets you enjoy the setting, without having to walk up and down endless blocks of stairs.
