Default Greece

Someone mentioned a wakeboard school called paradise or paradise on one of the Greek islands. Does anyone have any info?

Am planning a week/long weekend away somewhere and weighing up my options.

I have tried searching the net and done a search in here, but to no avail.

Thanks for any help.

You might be thinking of Passage which is in Poros.

I've been a couple of times. They give good instruction and the surroundings and welcome are excellent.

They run a Malibu Wakesetter VLX alongside their fleet of Nautiques (all of which have sky poles and can be ballasted out on request.)

Poros is about an hour's boat ride from Athens

The only critism I would make about Passage is that, being on the coast, you never seem to get flat water. That might just have been my luck though!

Here's a link:

I contacted this place. It looks lush, just not too keen on the prices.

The site says 37 Euros for a 15 minute tow (£29.40). But when they mailed me back with prices for accomodation and boarding they said 40 Euros for 15 minutes (nearly 32 pounds). I told them i have all my own equipment as well.

I'm not tight for money or anything, just dont fancy paying 400-500 for 5 days riding only.
