In Summer 2019, My wife, our baby and I spent our holidays in Crete. We wanted to find a school that give us some flexibility to arrange our schedules. and this was Kalo Surf. Kalo Surf is a family company, where the mother (Julia) takes care of the logistics and organizational stuff, and the father (Andy) takes care of giving the lessons. Even we saw their kids one day and they were helping in little stuff. Julia was very supportive from even before the trip. She communicate clear how can we arrange the lessons and she did not try to over charge us for helping us in the process. Besides she answered very quickly and clear. Andy was a very good instructor. Funny and a good story teller. We learned many things of Crete from him. He is also a good swimmer, I remember that in our last day, he had to rescue a random person who was drowning in the beach we were surfing. All in all, it was an excellent experience. Price was fair. Lessons were fun and worthy. They even took picture from us for free. I found this as a an extra plus. They also might take you to different beaches, when you take a multiple days course, this is also an extra plus.

In August 2018, my husband and I took the first lesson in surfing in our lives. We experienced that we will not succeed and that there will be problems due to the language barrier. But everything was fine. In spite of the fact that only my husband and I were Russian and did not know English well, it did not stop us from learning in full. The teacher and his assistant were very welcoming. The lesson was held in a friendly atmosphere. The most important thing is that for one lesson we were able to stand on the board. We will definitely use the services of Kalo Surf again.
I had a great experience with Kalosurf! I was skeptical about how good you can surf on Crete but Andy and Julia totally came through! They picked the best spots to go surfing every day and Andy was a brilliant teacher and a lot of fun to surf with . Because of the small groups we each had enough individual attention to make progress. Also, the duration of the lesson was just right- not too short where you feel like you’re getting pulled out just as you’re getting started and not too long so that you just can’t hack it at the end
It has always been one of my dreams to learn how to surf. I chose to go with Kalo Surf school based on the amazing reviews and the experience exceeded my expectations! Andy and Julia are such a great team and make everything run smoothly. The communication and helpful information prior to the course was exceptional. Julia even helped with recommendations for different services I needed (physio, massage, yoga, shoe repair etc) in Kissamos. Andy is such an amazing teacher. I was an absolute beginner and within an hour I could stand on the board. It's all down to his clear and helpful instructions. I committed to 5 classes over a few weeks and it was a great experience! Although I suffered from sea sickness whilst out on the surf (I didn't realise how common this is) Andy and Julia were super helpful with tips to try to manage it. If you're considering surfing in Crete, use Kalo Surf!! They know all the secret, brilliant and best spots on the island. Thank you both for everything, it was such an excellent experience!
Great instructor, great place to learn. Wish I had known about them when we first got there - as I was only able to do 2 days. If I'm ever there again, I'll definitely take up some more lessons!
We booked a 3 day course in August 2020 and are still overwhelmed. Andy was an excellent instructor, the communication with the entire team was easy and super friendly. They were always keen on teaching us proper basic techniques and not forgetting to have fun while trying to surf. I'm sure if we continued some more days, we'd have enough skills to go surfing by ourselves. I can highly recommend andys and ana's surf school, and I'm sure I'll book courses soon again
During our trip to Crete Island me and my wife decided to try surfing. We couldn't choose better - because Andy (surf instructor from Kalo Surf) was great teacher. Everything was balanced - safaty rules, difficulty of practices. I think, that it was fun for everyone from our group (for me fun was most important thing during holidays, so I appriciate it ). At the beginning we planned to buy only one lesson...but we end up with three lessons :). Every lesson was cooridnated with Julia (time, meeting point, weather forecast) and it was done perfectly. I can honestly recommend Kalo Surf!
Fantastic surfing time experienced in Crete (that sums it up), you hardly think you can surf in Crete (that's what I thought), but that's not true. Andy and Julia handle it very professionally. Boards, suits and safety are fine. What I personally like so much about Kalo surf, Andy is a really good teacher, that's a talent that not many people have (also for children). The organization is also tight, because, to surf you depend on nature, and that requires a good organisation. Also for a reasonable price I personally recommend Kalo Surf. We learned a lot, and the kids (11 and 8) had a great time. We will definitely come back. Pascal, Sylvie, Jef & Liv
