Naxos
Naxos is the largest and the most fertile of the Cycladic islands, lying almost at the center of the Aegean. The island is unforgettable because of its endless beaches. On the southwest side, the beaches are made up of kilometers of white sand and crystal clear waters. Naxos has the cosmopolitan atmosphere of a modern tourist resort, but at the same time has kept its traditional color and its local culture.
Naxon Surf Club
Naxon Surf Club is located at the prime spot of the 1.2-kilometer length Laguna next to Aghios Georgios main beach of Naxos island. The surf center is right at the front of the best launch site: Steady wind, easy access to the wave venue, and it works perfectly with any other wind direction apart from the prevailing north wind.
Laguna Beach park center is located at the end of Laguna’s coastline. The center is exactly at the edge of the beach at the small lagoon known as “Lagunaki”, which is famous among the freestyle windsurfers.
Laguna
The main lagoon is situated exactly in front of Naxon Surf Club. Laguna's centers offer you two spots that cover all the laguna coastline. Sailing upwind and approaching the town, you meet stronger waving of the sea, ideal for freestyle maneuvers and loops.
For the worshipers of jumping and “wave riding” getting out of the reef, you meet a big starboard tack sea wave which becomes even bigger with the help of the reef. Slalom fans will be satisfied in Laguna!
You will enjoy some of the best freestyle and slalom conditions worldwide. The flat water and the standing depth guarantee your improvement and finally cracking that carve gybe. As you move towards the reef, which separates the lagoon in two spots, you will find some small but nice waves for learning jumps or trying forwards.
Wave spot
It’s just a tack away! You cross over from the lagoon to the waves through a marked gateway at the offshore reef. There, you will find reef breakers and wind-blown waves between 1 to 2.5 meters high, which offer excellent jumping and backside riding conditions for novice and advanced wave sailors.
Wind conditions
The location is exposed to the north, the wind is onshore to cross onshore and is incredibly steady with no gusts, lulls, or abrupt changes in direction. During the summer months, the renowned “Meltemi” delivers guaranteed planning conditions almost every day.
Perfect playground
The waist-deep lagoon with its sandy seabed and onshore wind make training extremely safe, ensuring that kids and beginners will enjoy a fun introduction to windsurfing and develop skills in a secure environment.
