An outstanding windsurf experience can be found here thanks to\u00a0fantastic wind statistics.\u00a0We have the best JP and NP equipment avaliable and offer a\u00a0unique, cosy atmosphere. This makes Freak Surf one of the most popular surf stations\u00a0in the world. The windsurfing station is located in the middle of a beautiful sandy bay. Even in the high season the waters are un-crowded because there is no mass tourism in the area. Non-surfers equally enjoy the friendly atmosphere, the wind-protected, tree-shaded area around the windsurfing station and the famous Vai Palm Beach that&#8217;s only 10 minutes away. We are also offering electricity, water supply, beach shower, sun beds, volleyball, evening entertainment and partys.<\/p>\n<p>There is no chance of drifting off shore as the bay is enclosed. We pride ourselves with our safety system and there is always at least one member of the crew on baywatch duty. A powerful motorboat and Jet Ski are available in case of an emergency.<\/p>\n<p>Hannes Unterweger (Austria) and Davina Payne (UK) realised their dream and opened the Freak Windsurf station with friends in 2004. They have built up an international, fun and loyal team over the years. We can communicate with you in English, French, Italian and German.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_video link=&#8221;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=sp6VrEPKHVE&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_width=&#8221;grid&#8221; content_aligment=&#8221;center&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1650028767146{margin-top: 60px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_raw_html]JTNDZGl2JTIwaWQlM0QlMjJUQV9jZHNyYXRpbmdzb25seXdpZGU3OTklMjIlMjBjbGFzcyUzRCUyMlRBX2Nkc3JhdGluZ3Nvbmx5d2lkZSUyMiUzRSUwQSUzQ3VsJTIwaWQlM0QlMjIyTjJ0Snl2MiUyMiUyMGNsYXNzJTNEJTIyVEFfbGlua3MlMjBkVjNmd3FuRXRleCUyMiUzRSUwQSUzQ2xpJTIwaWQlM0QlMjJmZFNCd0NwV0tUVUElMjIlMjBjbGFzcyUzRCUyMmNmanptMSUyMiUzRSUwQSUzQ2ElMjB0YXJnZXQlM0QlMjJfYmxhbmslMjIlMjBocmVmJTNEJTIyaHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZ3d3cudHJpcGFkdmlzb3IuY29tJTJGJTIyJTNFJTNDaW1nJTIwc3JjJTNEJTIyaHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZ3d3cudHJpcGFkdmlzb3IuY29tJTJGaW1nJTJGY2RzaSUyRmltZzIlMkZicmFuZGluZyUyRnRyaXBhZHZpc29yX2xvZ29fdHJhbnNwXzM0MHg4MC0xODAzNC0yLnBuZyUyMiUyMGFsdCUzRCUyMlRyaXBBZHZpc29yJTIyJTJGJTNFJTNDJTJGYSUzRSUwQSUzQyUyRmxpJTNFJTBBJTNDJTJGdWwlM0UlMEElM0MlMkZkaXYlM0UlMEElM0NzY3JpcHQlMjBhc3luYyUyMHNyYyUzRCUyMmh0dHBzJTNBJTJGJTJGd3d3LmpzY2FjaGUuY29tJTJGd2VqcyUzRnd0eXBlJTNEY2RzcmF0aW5nc29ubHl3aWRlJTI2YW1wJTNCdW5pcSUzRDc5OSUyNmFtcCUzQmxvY2F0aW9uSWQlM0QxMjA5NDk5MCUyNmFtcCUzQmxhbmclM0Rlbl9VUyUyNmFtcCUzQmJvcmRlciUzRHRydWUlMjZhbXAlM0JzaGFkb3clM0RmYWxzZSUyNmFtcCUzQmRpc3BsYXlfdmVyc2lvbiUzRDIlMjIlMjBkYXRhLWxvYWR0cmslMjBvbmxvYWQlM0QlMjJ0aGlzLmxvYWR0cmslM0R0cnVlJTIyJTNFJTNDJTJGc2NyaXB0JTNFJTBB[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_width=&#8221;grid&#8221; anchor=&#8221;team&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1523380647515{margin-top: 80px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;4\/6&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Gallery<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"edgtf-separator-holder clearfix  edgtf-separator-center\">\n\t<div class=\"edgtf-separator\" style=\"border-color: #1e8190;width: 70px;border-bottom-width: 2px;margin-bottom: 10px\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n[vc_raw_html css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1650029120961{margin-top: 30px !important;}&#8221;]JTVCaW5zdGFncmFtLWZlZWQlMjBmZWVkJTNEMSU1RA==[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_width=&#8221;grid&#8221; anchor=&#8221;team&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1523380647515{margin-top: 80px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Team<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"edgtf-separator-holder clearfix  edgtf-separator-center\">\n\t<div class=\"edgtf-separator\" style=\"border-color: #1e8190;width: 70px;border-bottom-width: 2px;margin-bottom: 10px\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n[vc_single_image image=&#8221;904&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1625985492943{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: none;\">\n<h1>Freak Surf Crete<\/h1>\n<h2>windsurfing crete,<br \/>\nwindsurfing kreta,<br \/>\ncrete windsurfing,<br \/>\nwindsurf crete,<br \/>\nkreta windsurfing,<br \/>\npalekastro windsurf,<br \/>\nsurfen kreta,<br \/>\nwindsurf crete greece,<br \/>\nwindsurf palekastro,<br \/>\nchania windsurfing,<br \/>\ncreta windsurf,<br \/>\ncrete windsurfing spots,<br \/>\ngreece windsurfing,<br \/>\nkiten kreta palekastro,<br \/>\nsurfen kreta palekastro,<br \/>\nwindsurfing in crete,<br \/>\nhaddo kamlin dial Crete<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;4\/6&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Hannes Unterweger<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Founder and owner of Freak Windsurf Palekastro Crete.
