Windsurf Centre, Crete
The windsurf centre has a unique cosy atmosphere and is run efficiently, with the latest JP Boards and Neil Pryde Sails. It lies in the middle of a beautiful sandy bay, lined with trees. Even in the high season the waters are un-crowded, as it is set away from mass tourism. Non-windsurfers can equally enjoy the friendly atmosphere and the wind-protected and tree shaded area around the station. Although off the beaten track the centre does still offer electricity, water supply, beach shower, sun beds, volleyball, drinks, evening entertainment and party’s….
The bay is enclosed; therefore there is no chance of you drifting off shore. However guests are still advised not to windsurf out further than 1.5 km. The centre has great safety system and there is always a member of the crew on Baywatch duty. A powerful motorboat and Jet Ski are available, in the case of an emergency.
INSTRUCTION PROGRAMME - The perfect flat-water conditions create the ideal place to learn new moves, easily. Guests are also supported with video analysis and a professional and experienced surf teaching team.
