Hi there! I have lived and kitesurfed in Rhodes for 12 years - now it is sunny England for me, tomorrow Hustanton for the first time with a Cabrinha 2006 I borrowed from a friend, haha, never mind... Here is some info you need: West coast spots / schools: Kremasti has side or side-on wind, the schoo...
yeah - you'll defo get out more than that... :thumb: a lot of those meters are only really accurate for particular wind directions (sheltered from the other way) keep an eye out for seabreezes in the summer - if there's even a hint of E and it's hot all day - there's usually a seabreeze blowing at ...
