Plan the trip
- Confirm the operating shore
- Confirm which named bay, service base and discipline are operating for current conditions before travelling to the shore. Sources: Municipality of Karpathos · windsurfing, Karpathos Surf Club · Afiartis services.
- Windsurf and kite programme context
- ION CLUB distinguishes flatter Chicken Bay beginner and intermediate windsurf teaching from stronger-wind Gun Bay and Devil’s Bay sailing. Its seasonal guidance describes May to September, with stronger midsummer wind. This does not establish kite tuition in Afiartis, nor make the offshore-wind bays interchangeable.
