Tony reports
“I’ve never been to Mykonos island before and what can I say. It’s like one crazy rollercoaster of fun times. The island is sick! The crew is sick! The lifestyle is sick! I’m based at Kalafatis beach, the spot has flat water with side offshore winds. Perfect for high speed blasts and freestyle moves.
The summer season is now at its peak. The wind forecast is as good as it gets. Book a flight and join the action.
So have a look, here are some water shots we did the other day at Kalafatis beach riding Freek 4.8 and Psycho 92l. One of my favorite setups. It feels so good.“
