Naxos Island - the ultimate windsurfing destination
Watch surfing on Naxos follow this link http://vimeo.com/6867368
Naxos is the largest of the Aegean islands ion the so-called Cyclades, covering an area of 428m². What makes it perfect for windsurfing is the fact that its wind direction is mostly ‘side shore’ or parallel to the shoreline. This provides the perfect wind situation for surfers. The island also boasts a huge lagoon, shallow enough to stand in yet with waves large enough for beginners and more advanced surfers to practise. There are now schools on the island dedicated to all levels of windsurfing competence. The lagoon is mostly used by amateurs whereas the more professional surfers tend to take advantage of the Meltemi, a northern wind with a force high enough to create ideal waves. Reef flats which break the waves make the surfer’s experience all that more pleasant.
On Naxos, you can enjoy waist-deep lagoon and a wave spot in a single location. The lagoon is protected by the reef and has sandy seabed. Inside the lagoon conditions are great for freestyle and slalom. There is a marked gateway at the offshore reef, showing the way to the wave spot. The waves (usually from 1 to 2.5 m high) provides excellent jumping and backside riding conditions. The windsurfing season on Naxos lasts from May to October. Summer months, when meltelmi blows, are the best time to go.
Naxos is primarily a flat water spot. It consists of a large shallow lagoon surrounded by a reef. Whilst it is always ‘flat’ in the lagoon, it is only on the edges that it becomes a true freestyle/freeride paradise. Because the lagoon is no more than chest deep throughout, it is perfect for beginners and intermediates (advanced sailors might even forget how to waterstart!).
