WindSurfing in Greece

What could be more exciting than waking up on a beautiful morning
in Greece, donning your wetsuit to go windsurfing upon the tides?

New to WindSurfing? Check out WindSurfing by Simon Bornhoff. He provides the essential guide to equipment and techniques needed to succeed at WindSurfing. WindSurfing material may be found here.

You'll find beginners in this sport comparing surfboards, sails and wetsuits.
Surfboards should be about  3 - 3.20 meters long and the sail you choose should be lightweight and of vibrant colors so you can find it in the surf and easily pull it from the water. If you sign up for windsurfing lessons, most likely they will include the basics for the class.




Check out the book KiteSurfing by Mike Bory. Popular windsurfing or kite surfing lessons can be found along the very long and white sandy beaches from the Sun Wind Center of Golden Beaches of Paros' (cyclades). http://www.sunwind.gr/  Other places to find surfing lessons include Kythnos, Milos, Myconos, Naxos, and Serifos.

Another favorite windsurfing spot is along the Aegean Sea in Milos.
