About us

Natural High Board-ing School was founded in 2006 by Iro Gavala and Yannis Panagakos.

Iro and Yannis are in the adventure/athletic industry since 1994. They have been trained in Europe and New Zealand and they are also members of the British water ski association. All the instructors are highly qualified and experienced with excellent coaching skills that will help you improve your technique or initiate you to the magical world of watersports if you are a novice.

Our goal is to offer our customers a world class learning experience through individualized instruction fit to their level and ability and infuse them with our love for the sport!

The school is situated in Paros in the Cyclades complex of islands in Greece. All our facilities are built on a180sqm floating deck surrounded by the turquoise crystal clear water of the Naousa Bay.

We offer our customers a wide range of water activities. Waterski, wakeboard, wakesurf, barefoot are some of the choices. For those who seek a fun day at the beach with their friends, rides with our inflatable water toys such as sofa, flyfish, tubes etc are also available. For the romantics, SUPs (stand up paddles) pedal boats and kayaks are also on site.

Outfitted with 2 wakeboard boats ( Mastercraft X2, Nautique )and 3 water ski boats (Mastercraft X7, 2 Lazers )its one of the best equipped water sports centers in the whole of the Aegean Sea.

Our personalized one-on one instruction method addresses to all ability levels, from complete beginners to advanced riders who seek to take their riding to the next level.

We specialize in teaching toddlers even from the early age of 3 years old and we are so very proud to see that some of these 3years old are now competing in international ski and wakeboard tournaments throughout the world.
