Nixon | Moments to remember: Greek surf mission

Показать описание
Greece wouldn't be your first bet when choosing a surf destination. Marlon Lipke, Yannick De Jager and Gony Zubizarreta have had an eye on this dreamy Mediterranean location for years now. Unfortunately they never found the opportunity to attempt the travel. Chances to score are always very low considering the consistency of swells and the difficulty to predict conditions.

Timing is key, local connexions are priceless. All they needed was a call. A friend and local shaper guaranteed them that the conditions displayed on the weather forecast would turn the coast into an idyllic playground, and it did.

One day of swell, not two, and it was all gone. The crew surfed 2 different waves during 9 hours before finding a slab on their way back home just one hour before dark... Greece, really?

No one had surfed it before and Marlon and Gony could not get the best waves because..."we could barely move our arms anymore"... but it was a perfect slab with sick righthand barrels.

Greece is one of those countries which just magically takes you by the hand and guides you through its natural and cultural beauty. The people are very friendly and welcoming, something that actually reminded the crew of Portugal and Italy. It was even more rewarding when to top it all with great waves which actually turned out much better than they could ever imagine.

I can recommend Karteros Beach in Crete because I had 3 to 4.5 meter high waves. It is quite open and is close to the airport (so a lot of wind)

Good waves. The surf and surfing in this vid are ten times bigger and better than here today. Flat to 6 inches out front with 200+ people out.

How many times a year would you get this kind of waves? Why bother ? Whilst you can wind surf or kite surf almost every week?
