The movie has been shot at the St George's (Agios Giorgos) Beach in Naxos, Greece, during summer 2011. The conditions were medium wind and small waves (sail 5.0, board 83L).
I have not had the chance to ride in better conditions this year in Naxos.

The advantage of this spot is, when the conditions are there, to offer a very large area to find interesting ramps for jumps. Surfing is very limited because mostly onshore and beware, the bigger the waves, the more brutal they are, as they break on a rock slab very shallow. They suddenly close tightly everywhere. You must be careful to the sets.
In front of the club Flisvos, the waves do not close but the wind is less strong and more irregular. At the crossing of the lagoon (near the flag), the wind is consistent and there is a superb slab a little further.
