The most common set up is 4.7m-5.7m sail and 85-95 L board, making it a freeride paradise, ideal for average windsurfers and family holidays.

The moderate wind conditions and sandy shallow beach make Keros the perfect place learning your first waterstarts, gybes, or simply freeriding in turquoise waters.

The flat section on the North side of the beach is perfect for Freestyle and slalom, and if you like waves, the South side of the beach gets quite descent on windy days.

Keros beach is also one of the best places to learn kitesurfing in Europe, just in case you were thinking of giving it a try.

The spot is very special for its flat water conditions, ideal  for learning, first water starts to perfecting your power gybe right off the beach.
