Prasonisi life
All the windsurfing happens in Prasonisi bay, where there’s of places to eat at lunch time and we spend all of the day down at the beach.
The Prasonisi Centre hotel is in the nearby village of Kattavia. This is a tiny, simple village with a very laid back feel. There’s a couple of very characterful restaurants and a small supermarket. Time has stood still there for years and we love it.
The food, the place and the atmosphere are so 'Blue Zone'

WHAT'S IT LIKE
Kattavia is a charming, traditional Greek village, where you can find delicious food, at the local restaurants, and it’s just a few kilometres to the windsurfing mecca of Prasonisi.
Eating out is super cheap and creates that ultimate Mediterranean holiday feel. You won’t forget a night at Louis. Sitting under white painted trees, warm open air, soaking up the atmosphere.

LOCATION
Prasonisi Bay
Straight off the beach is a wide open bay with cross offshore wind. There’s easy launching, super flat water and lots of space. It’s perfect for skills training, blasting, gybe variations and taking the windsurfing at whatever pace suits you.
There’s a huge sand spit stretching to an island and the wind whistles through the gap creating a strong thermal. Plus there’s an optional wave beach in the north side.
Unforgettable Freeride
Countless run across a flat water bay
EASY FREERIDE BAY
Super easy water state to make your moves
What is Pras like
Our Pras clinic is aimed at early intermediate to advanced windsurfers looking to move their short-board skills on to another level.
Whether it’s moving on to even smaller boards, blasting faster in more control, or really wanting to speed-up those turns, it’s a rewarding place to sail.
There is also a wave beach across the sand spit, but we tend to stay mainly in the Freeride bay.
What about rescue
With the cross-offshore wind, they are extra vigilant and have an excellent rescue service.
MAKE YOUR MOVES
We’ll get you round those corners
PRASONISI BAY
LEARN MORE
Each run is a good 300-400m and is ideal for Freeride sailing. You are likely to be using boards like the SV Fox / Dyno with Gator rigs and all perfectly set up to help you improve.
There’s absolutely table flat water to gybe on, which means we can get on with fine tuning your technique in perfect conditions.
THE WAVE BEACH
ARE THERE ANY WAVES?
Yes, there’s an optional wave beach on the windward side, but we only visit that if/when the conditions are really good and we feel your level is right for that location and conditions.
We tend to stay mainly in the Freeride bay.
PRASONISI CENTRE
SEVERNE CENTRE
We have been using the Prasonisi centre for many years and love the whole atmosphere there.
It’s packed with Severne sails and loads of our favourite boards too.
The whole centre is driven down to the waters edge so you have all the kit within a fins throw of the water.
