Meals

All meals are at the participant’s own expense. Those who wish may purchase the shared breakfast prepared by the Sport Service team.

The base camp is equipped with camping kitchens and everything needed for participants to cook individually or in groups.

Activities

In general, the courses are intended for those who have never had any experience of water sports activities (windsurfing, wingsurfing and sailing/Laser) or who have only limited knowledge of the basic techniques. 

Anyone wishing to practise windsurfing with lower-volume boards (under 175 L) or winging with foil boards must arrange their own equipment individually. The E-MTB excursions do not involve any particular technical difficulty, but they do require basic cycling skills (braking, gear shifting).

All activities are led by Sport Service instructors. 

Windsurfing

You will learn the basic techniques needed to sail the board on both tacks and to perform basic tacks and gybes. The technical progression is designed to reach the introduction to using the harness, but without the use of foot straps and without planing. The boards used are 220 L or 175 L, and the training sails range from 4 to 5.5 square metres in surface area.

Wingsurfing

You will learn how to prepare the wing and how to use it both on land and in the water; the wings will have either soft or rigid handles. For use in the water, windsurf boards with centreboards will be used. Foil boards are not included in the course.

Sailing

You will learn how to rig and sail Laser dinghies in light wind conditions, including changing tack and carrying out gybes and tacks.

E-MTB excursions

The excursions will be divided into two categories: shorter outings of around 2–3 hours and longer ones of 4–5 hours. The routes do not involve any particular technical difficulty and take place on paved roads or dirt tracks. The bikes will be brought to Greece by the Sport Service.

On request and depending on weather conditions, it will also be possible to use kayaks and stand-up paddleboards (SUP).
