I whole heartedly recommend the windsurf instructor course and absolutely loved my time in Vasiliki. The instructors were really focused on getting our windsurfing up to scratch. I not only went from quite a beginner windsurfer to intermediate going advanced, i also gained my power boat qualification which opened up a whole new world of opportunity. We were definitely taught by the best ! Vass is a social hub full of talented people who all have similar interests and are always keen to help each other. we all gained new life long friends and useful connections in the industry. On the couse, you get 1 day off a week in which we would explore the beautiful island and all its gorgeous sights. 6 weeks of my life that i shall never forget and cherish always!

Had an incredible time on the fast track windsurfing course! I had so much fun on and off the water. The instructors were great with helping me improve both my windsurfing and teaching skills, and the dinners and themed nights out were so fun and I met some great people! Would recommend this beautiful place!

Probably the best summer of my life!! Coaches are lovely and scenery is beautiful. I did the fast track windsurfing instructor course as well as work experience after. Not only did my windsurfing improve, but also my confidence in speaking amongst strangers and various other soft skills. 10/10 would recommend :))
