Flying Fish windsurfing and dinghy sailing are based at Club Vassiliki, better know as Club Vass, the largest and best-equipped windsurfing centre in Europe.
Race training and advanced dinghy sailing take place next door at Wildwind on a fleet of catamarans and high performance sailing dinghies.
An unusual local weather effect has made Club Vass a windsurfing mecca. The conditions are usually calm till around 10am: perfect wake-boarding. Then the sea breeze begins to fill in, producing a gentle Force 2-3 onshore: ideal for beginner windsurfers and dinghy sailors. In the afternoon it usually accelerates across the bay, producing excellent cross-shore conditions from Force 4 up to very, very windy!

The enclosed bay means the water stays flat, providing the perfect training environment. If ever the wind doesn't blow, the mountainous terrain provides incredible biking and under water there is some spectacular diving. Greece is relaxing its rules restricting dive sites and you can hope to take part in some exciting discoveries here.
