Urla (Izmir) Windsurfing & Kite Camp

Located on the tranquil coastline of the İzmir Gulf, this multi-day (5-7 days) residential surf and kite camp in Urla offers a gentle introduction for beginners, thanks to more moderate wind conditions compared to Alaçatı. The package includes accommodation, daily meals, lessons with IKO/VDWS certified instructors, board-sail-kite equipment, and a wetsuit.

The Mild Wind Structure of Urla Gulf

Situated in the inner part of the İzmir Gulf, Urla features a thermal wind that blows regularly throughout the day but remains more controlled in intensity. This structure reduces the stress of your first encounter with the board while providing a comfortable practice space for intermediate athletes looking to refine their technique.

Ideal Environment for Beginners

The shallow and calm waters of the gulf create a reassuring foundation for balance and water-start attempts. In these areas where you can touch the bottom, participants learn by trying repeatedly without the fear of falling; meanwhile, advanced riders can focus on maneuver practice in flat water.

Camp Details and Safety

The program begins in the morning with theoretical lessons and land exercises, moving to water sessions during peak wind hours. Participants are divided into small groups based on their skill levels to receive personalized instructor attention. Throughout all water sessions, a rescue boat and instructor team are on-site to ensure safety.
