The Spot
7 Our second station is at Falasarna beach for Surf, Windsurf & Standup Paddle board (SUP) activities. Phalasarna, is located on the western part of the island. One of the three most beautiful beaches of west Crete, a must see for the crystal clear water and the beautiful sand.

Our station provides a full range of Surfboards, SUP, Bodyboards for all levels and needs. Everyone can have fun in the water with safety, from the young kids to adults.
Wave conditions: Falasana beach is facing every surf forecast that provides west waves and it works with the very first small size and it has great quality up to head high days (1.5m) that still work good but for the most experienced. The bottom is sandy and gives many options for the beginners to pick the right spot.
Wind conditions: When the location is exposed to the famous ‘meltemi’ north-east winds of the Aegean sea with off-shore winds blowing force 4 to force 6 and sometimes to force 7 beauforts. From May to October meltemi winds blows from the Aegean sea turning Greece into a windsurfing paradise.
fish-boat Spot: At the south of Phalasarna Station, next to a small fish-boat harbor, you will enjoy some of the best freestyle conditions found in all Greece, with flat water and plenty of wind. On the left side there is a large free space for slalom and freeride conditions while on the right side there is another beach with a bump and jump onshore area for those who seek wavier conditions.
Perfect playground: Speed addicts, freestylers, and beginners can enjoy the best conditions for them in different terrain. The beach is very wide and never feels overload of surfers. Also there are some really shallow parts that work with tiny swell, great place for kids to walk instead of paddling and make a safe place to the youngsters. A big advantage also for people that are not used with huge paddling workout. Falasana provide a breach break that always works depended of the wave size. It is a friendly place for your non-surfing partners too as they can go to the main beach to relax, or have a delicious lunch in the traditional fish tavern in front of the beach.
