So I emailed Paros Surf Club to figure out what Local 4.7 was all about. Faster than you can Google it, I got the following response from Nikos at PSC.
"The story goes like this. There was a guy Kostas, who is now running the surf club. He used to work at a restaurant 4 to 5 km away from our beach. He had a 3 hour break every day between 4 to 7 in the afternoon so he was coming running to the beach asking what sail to use, according to the wind, and then he was always using a 4.7 sail (size sqm) because that was the only one that he had. Kostas will always use a 4.7 EZZY sail. So this became the official size sail of the beach. The truth is that our beach is ideal with conditions for 4.7 ... As for surfing next time that you come to Paros we go to a very nice place for surfing in Antiparos."

Thanks Nikos.
So there you have it. Rest easy tonight knowing both the mystery behind Local 4.7 and that there is surfing on Antiparos.
Keep surfing,
