ADDICTED TO VASS: ANDY CHAMBERSADDICTED TO VASS!After years as an instructor, Andy Chambers still cant stay away from Club Vass. Each summer, he and his wife Philly return to Vassilikia windsurfing location that has become more than just a holiday spot. For Andy, its the ultimate blend of work, play, and community. For Philly, its relaxation, wind, and water time. Together, theyve built countless friendships and unforgettable memories in this windsurfing paradise! Andy reflects on this years Club Vass experience!SUMMER HOLIDAY: Summer Rituals in Vass!My wife Philly is a teacher so has a lot of time off in the summer holidays, which is when we head out to Club Vass. We cant change the dates that we go but over the year we have met so many great people that all head out there at the same time so its great catching up with everyone. Also July/August are usually the windiest months to be there. From my side I can work from there and also do lots of product testing. For Philly it means she can have a proper relaxing holiday and also wing and windsurf all afternoon. We both know the place and the people so well and its so familiar to us which is why we love going back every year.I take my own freestyle gear and wing gear plus anything new that I want to test or show the guys at Club Vass for potentially putting in the racks the next year. If the conditions dont fit for the gear I take with me then I grab something out of the racks as its all the top of the range equipment!GETTING THERE: Easy Flights & Smooth Transfers!We always fly from Gatwick, so we can fly with EasyJet who are the best with lots of gear! You can fly from most of the big UK airports to Preveza. Flights vary depending on when you book them but can be anything from 300-500.We get picked up at the airport in Preveza because we have so much gear! But if you are not travelling with lots of bags there are plenty of Taxis or hire cars too. If you are on a Club Vass holiday, then they have transfer busses.When we land the level of excitement Is through the roof! It is always super exciting because we know the place so well and the forecast too so we know we will be getting in plenty of time on the water and catching up with friends.THE VIBE: The Energy On and Off the Water!We normally sail every day! Some seasons are better than others but generally you have to be pretty unlucky not get plenty of planing days. With the inclusion of foiling it really increases your time on the water as well. There arent many of my old colleagues left from my early days but its great meeting all the new team. There is always lots of energy from the local crew.The social side is still a great part of Vass life, but the parties may not be quite so hardcore as the early days.The beach bar is open all afternoon and evening and provides a perfect viewing platform for watching all the high wind action on the water. There are also a couple of big party nights during the week. Tuesday is Pizza night and generally gets pretty lively! Friday night is the infamous Club Vass BBQ night which is fancy dress themed and the beach team always provide some sort of hilarious entertainment.EATING OUT: Food, Friends & Favourite Spots in Town!We normally eat in town at a few of our favourite restaurants depending on what we fancy and who is there at the time. We also love a Gyros for dinner too! There are lots of repeat customers that we see every year and also ex members of staff.People just love going on holiday there and Vass such a great place to meet up with all your friends in a relaxed atmosphere!TYPICAL DAY: A Day in the Life at Club Vass!I normally wake up go and the gym or go for a mountain bike ride! We have breakfast on the balcony and then head down to the Club and get on with work for a few hours! After lunch I might go for a swim or just chill out whilst waiting for the wind to fill in then! I normally windsurf all afternoon, which is followed by a few cheeky beers, dinner with friends in town or carry on partying sleep and repeat the next day!I love sailing with my wife and friends. Its the best! Im not into windsurfing by myself; I much prefer having friends or Philly on the water with me. The conditions at Vass are real world conditions so perfect for testing! I can also get direct feedback from customers, so the holiday works really well for some proper feedback about all the new Goya equipment.WORK HARD PLAY HARD: Balancing Windsurfing, Work & Party Life!By the end of our trip, I normally feel like I need a holiday when I get back to the UK ha!Going to Vass is not so much about having a reset for me. I am also working whilst Im there and tend to not just relax and chill out as much as other people do on holiday.We have not booked yet, but flights will be released soon and you can count us in! I love the whole atmosphere of the place and hanging out with like-minded people. I hate going to places abroad and trying to socialise with a bunch of people that dont have the same passion for sports. I love the windsurfing and the beauty of Vassiliki and the Island. There is something magical about the place and until you go there and experience it you wont know what I mean. But for the people that have been there, they know what I am saying which is why there are some many repeat customers.Club Vass | Windsurfing & Watersports Holidays In GreeceThe post ADDICTED TO VASS: ANDY CHAMBERS appeared first on Windsurf Magazine.
