About this experience

Surf Lessons in Agios Stefanos is a beginner-focused surf school located on the sandy beach of Agios Stefanos bay on Kythnos island. The lessons combine theory on the sand with practical paddling and wave-riding in the calm, shallow waters of the bay. Each session is led by a certified instructor who provides all necessary equipment, including board, wetsuit, and leash.

What to expect

Lessons run for 90 minutes, with a maximum of 4 students per instructor for individual attention.
The session starts with a 15-minute land drill covering stance, paddling, and pop-up technique before entering the water.
All equipment is included: soft-top surfboard, wetsuit, and rash guard, sized to your height and weight.
You will practice catching small, rolling waves in the protected bay, which is sheltered from strong winds and currents.
The lesson suits complete beginners aged 8 and up, including non-swimmers who stay in waist-deep water with the board tethered.
After the lesson, you receive a short video review of your pop-up motion to correct your form for future sessions.
