GRE78 and Extreme Windsurfing
Thomas “KOUS” Kousioris is a semi-professional wave windsurfer from Greece. Born in Athens in 1978, Thomas grew up around the sea and started learning to windsurf during the summer months while he was still at school, with the help of mentor, Mr. John Satratzemis.
Kous went on to further education in London and Glasgow and started the Glasgow University windsurf club where he trained with local Scottish windsurfers Martin and Big Dave, at different locations across Scotland including the North Sea, the Irish Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. It was during this time that Thomas’s addiction to sailing really took traction, and his skill level soared.
Kous returned to Greece in 2001 and made his mark in the Greek windsurfing scene, where he remains today in the beautiful area of Athens. Thomas is the most recognized Greek wave sailor worldwide, best known for his trademark move the JUDAS, or one-footed table top.
