We are a Windsurf and Foil Center located in the Eastern part of Crete Island close to the well known village of Palekastro, on Kouremenos Beach. Crete is a remote and independent island that provides everything a Greek island can offer and more. For most windsurfers, Crete is an ideal place to live. It is rich in history and natural beauty and is the birthplace of some of the best windsurfers in Greece. It provides world class windsurfing conditions: from flat waters and guaranteed wind in the summer months, to world class conditions for freestyle windsurfing and wave surfing all year round. Apart from perfect surf condition the island of Crete is majestically beautiful with mountainous landscapes, long and beautiful coast lines, canyons, waterfalls and crystal clear blue waters. During your stay in Kouremenos you can easily visit the surrounding traditional villages, towns and harbors, visit the ancient ruins and try the local delicious cuisine.
WHY KOUREMENOS?
Awesome people and location! We spent few days at the end of September 2019, Maria and Christos were very nice, always smiling and ready to help and to give tips about everything from windsurfing to restaurant adresses. Prior to our trip I already had very good contact by email with them for the rental of my equipment. The sea is still very warm so no need for swimsuit at that time of the year. They provided us impact vests for free and are carrying the sail to the water for you. So much appreciated! I definitely recommend this place and will return there for sure next time I am in Crete!
It was the best windsurfing spot where I have ever been. Great place - it was always windy, but waves are not big, so it was very comfortable for beginners like me and my wife. The best rent equipment - new, light, handy. The best care from owners - you are always under supervision, but it does not distract you. If you have some trouble - the boat is on it's way. I didn't take the instructor, but always had a helpful advices. You may spend good time between riding on there beach and enjoy calm, noiseless and beautiful place. Very thanks Maria, Christos and their team for ours impressions! If we ever come to Crete we will certainly come back to YOU!!!
If you only ever go windsurfing once in your life, do it here. I’ve been to a few windsurf centers in my day but nothing has ever even come close to what I experienced at Gone Surfing. The gear is top notch and in great condition, the spot is great and so is the wind. All these things are important for a good windsurfing experience. But the reason why Gone Surfing is exceptional and you will want to come back, is the team. You come as a guest and you leave as a friend (even better, don’t leave). Never in my life have I felt more welcome as a guest. Maria and Christos go out of their way to give you the best experience possible. They are always there to help, give tips and watch over the bay to make sure nobody gets lost. If you want to learn something new, take a foiling lesson with Christos, I can highly recommend it. He’ll follow you with the boat and give constant feedback on how you’re doing. This ensures fast progress, in about 1-2h you’re ready to go by yourself. We spent two weeks here in April 2019 and we are already planning to go back. 😉 Thanks a lot to Maria, Christos and everyone else who helped make our visit unforgettable
Hands down the best windsurfing experience I've had. Cristos, Maria,Andreas, Spock and all the crew are amazing making sure you have the best time on the water and a lot of fun off it. Pure good vibes all the time, no egos. The equipment is top notch, safety is excellent and the spot was totally epic when we were there. Everyone goes above and beyond to make sure you get the most out of your time, lots of hints and tips on technique and equipment. You are all really the loveliest,funniest people! This is how windsurfing and a centre should be done.Definitely going back, hopefully sooner rather than later.
Esperienza ECCEZIONALE!!! Christos e Maria sono stati davvero gentili e professionali. Ho noleggiato il materiale e fatto anche delle lezioni private per il perfezionamento. Non potevo chiedere di meglio, attenzione e professionalità. Mi ha colpito molto anche il loro approccio, veramente grande rispetto per ciò che accade in acqua e fuori. Davvero alto livello! Le lezioni fatte con Antriko....grandiose! Bravi!
Nous avons passé 2 semaines à Kouremenos avec ma famille. Vent présent chaque jour, eau chaude et transparente. Un lieu très sympathique et des paysages superbes. Matériel de grande qualité et prêt au moment voulu. Une équipe d'une extrême sympathie. Merci à vous.
I have been a customer of a lot of surf stations around europe. The surf equipment was fine at most of the stations. What makes Gone Surfing so special is the way the owners and the whole staff treat their customers. Always helpful, funny, creating a relaxed atmosphere and always up for a nice talk about windsurfing. I caused once a crash with another surfer. Back on the beach there was no ranting, but only well meant advice to be more careful in order to not hurt myself or others. This station even allows you to bring your board to another spot. Strongly recommended!
Strongly recommended! Very new equipment: one day they even armed for me a 2020 sail. The board I rented was not used by anyone; every morning the streps were as I had left them. I have rented in several windsurf centers and not everyone have this care for the customer. I also had the possibility to try other boards. Efficient, professional and very nice team. Many thanks to Christos, Maria, Andreas, Spock and the whole team that made special my windsurf holiday in Crete!
That was my second time at Gone Surfing station. The service even better than 2 years ago, boards and sails are in perfect condition. Station itself well located, very close to water. Aside there is a nice beach bar to have a rest and dinner. Christos, Maria and station team — looking forward for next visit!
The most friendly bunch of people. My wife and I took a lesson and had the most amazing time. They were extremely helpful and patient with us, and showed genuine excitement when we started to get the hang of it. Don’t forget to meet Mr. Spock!!
