About Cyprus

Cyprus delivers reliable thermal winds from May through September with consistent 17–22 knot averages and frequent stronger gusts supporting advanced tricks and big air. The island offers diverse conditions—freestyle opportunities during steady winds, occasional 1–2 meter waves for strapless riders, and foiling potential on lighter days. Warm water eliminates wetsuit needs. An active, welcoming kiting community regularly organizes events including the KING OF KITE annual competition, downwinders, yoga sessions, and social gatherings. The airport sits 15 minutes from launch zones, and the island provides substantial non-kiting recreation including dining, nightlife in Ayia Napa, SUP, horseback riding, and hiking.
