27|05|11 +++ Windsurfing & Rock Climbing on Karpathos

 

DATES: 1 week until 07.06.11 and 04.10.- 18.10.11

Option 1: Surf & Climb adventure week on Karpathos

A unique week of Sports Adventure awaits you at Club Mistral Karpathos in the middle of the south Aegean Sea. With our new concept Surf & Climb you get the chance to experience two fascinating sports at the same time – windsurfing and rock climbing! No matter if you are beginner or advanced, you will have a great time. You will be grouped, depending on your level and abilities, so we can guarantee an optimal training.
 
We will have 3 days each for windsurfing and  rock climbing. Depending on wind and weather we will be on the water or on the rock. Our location is our best advantage: if there is not enough wind for windsurfing, we are immediately on our climbing routes or, if the wind picks up, we are back on the water in no time. We can seize the day to the full extend - that’s guaranteed.

Windsurf tuition will take place directly at our Club Mistral Center at Club Anemos. The Chicken Bay is a sheltered bay with a large standing area and provides a great learning environment for all levels, from novices to freestylers. We teach in small groups with our international, experienced Club Mistral instructors. There are 2 hrs teaching units a day, after that you can use the equipment for self practice.

The rock climbing takes place on the unique rock landscape of Karpathos. The climbing areas are all situated directly by the sea and are a perfect set up for beginners to advanced climbers. Our professional instructors will teach you to climb on secure, independent top-rope-routes, knowledge about equipment and knots, safety technique and safety partner-check. You will also learn how to lead and secure a route. And we will go for some nice “deep water soloing”, where you can hang loose and easily jump into the blue, whenever you like.  

Notice: Though Karpathos is one of Europe’s windiest spots, we can’t give you a wind guarantee. If there is not enough wind for surfing, we will go rock climbing instead.

Option 2: Climbing week on Karpathos

Karpathos’ unique, mountainous nature offers amazing spots for rock climbing. Routes here suit beginner as well as advance climbers. The climate in the spring and fall is moderate and temperatures are not too hot. Beginners will learn the basic skills and techniques of rock climbing. Our professional instructors will teach you to climb and secure top-rope-routes independently, knowledge about equipment and knots, safety techniques and safety partner-check. You will also learn how to lead and secure a route. Climbers who have only indoor experience will experience to climb on rocks and to lead and secure a route. The different climbing spots and routes give you the possibility to improve your climbing technique with the help of our professional climbing instructor’s right at your physical limit.

Our base will be at the windsurf center and climbing school of Club Mistral Karpathos/Club Anemos. From there we will set off to the different climbing spots of Karpathos.
After the course you will have two days of leisure for  swimming or exploring the island, snorkeling or windsurfing or continue climbing - there possibilities are endless.
