Kitesurfing fun in Cyprus

Hey there, fellow adventurers, thrill-seekers, and all you curious souls ou t there! Welcome to my kitesurfing world, where the wind, the waves, and the wild rides never cease to amaze. I'm going to take you on an exhilarating journey into the heart of kitesurfing. But don't worry, even if you've never touched a kite or a board in your life, I've got you covered.
Now, you might be wondering, "Why kitesurfing?" Well, I've been riding the wind for the past three years, and let me tell you, the more I kite, the more I fall in love with this thrilling sport. And guess what? Kitesurfing isn't just for the young guns; it's for all ages! Whether you're eight or eighty, if you've got the spirit, you can do it.
Before we dive deeper into the mesmerizing world of kitesurfing, let's start with the basics. Picture this: you, a kite, a board, and endless possibilities. But first, let's talk gear. I started with a trusty 12-meter switch kite, then downsized to a 10-meter AirRush kite. And you know what happened to that 12-meter kite? Gone, like yesterday's news! My second 10-meter kite is soon joining the "trash can club." So now, I'm thinking of adding another kite to my collection, probably in the 10 to 12-meter range. Brands like Duotone, Fone Bandit, and Core are currently on my radar.
But enough about gear; let's talk locations. Right now, my absolute favorite spot is none other than KiteMed, situated close to the bustling city of Larnaca in beautiful Cyprus. Even though I reside in Limassol, it's just a breezy 40-minute drive for me. Sure, there are spots like Paramali, Courion, and Ladies Miles closer to Limassol, but KiteMed has won my heart, at least for the time being. Why? Well, here's the deal - they've got it all! Fresh water, artificial grass to land the kite (no sandy mess), and, wait for it, a can of beer or cola right at the spot for you to enjoy after an epic session. And, of course, there's no shortage of friendly faces to chat with and new people to meet.
Remember, in kitesurfing, it's not about how many times you fall; it's about how many times you get back up and try again. So, if you're ready for an epic ride, if you crave adventure and excitement, and if you're curious to explore the world of kitesurfing, then hit that subscribe button, give us a thumbs up, and join us on this unforgettable journey.
Kitesurfing isn't just a sport; it's an exhilarating energy boost that fuels your entire day. It's a full-body workout that leaves you craving more action and pushing your limits to new heights. Picture this: you start by soaring 5 meters above the water, and suddenly, you're hungry for 10 meters of airtime. But here's the beauty of it-there are no boundaries in kitesurfing, except for gravity, and the occasional refreshing splashdown.
Now, I won't sugarcoat it; kitesurfing can be a bit of a rough landing, especially for beginners. You might find yourself making an intimate acquaintance with the sandy beach, face-first. But fear not! As you persist and ride through those initial challenges, you'll discover that kitesurfing transforms from a daunting endeavor into an addictive pleasure.
It's a journey of progression, a dance with the wind, and a quest for that next incredible leap. So, if you're ready to conquer the waves, defy gravity, and embrace the thrilling world of kitesurfing, just remember: the sky's the limit, and even a splash can't dampen your spirits. Get ready to take off, and let's ride the wind!
Is kitesurfing risky?
This is often due to reckless risk-taking. However, to put this into perspective, a Dutch study conducted in 2020 on 194 kite surfers indicates that it is more dangerous to play ice hockey! Danger is always present, of course, but kitesurfing is no more risky than any other extreme sport.
Do you need to be fit to kitesurf?
Contrary to popular belief, you don't need to be super-fit to kitesurf. You'll often see little 10 year old kids out on the water. Girls especially shouldn't be put off by the preconception that you need massive biceps. It's simply not true, with the right kite nearly everyone can kitesurf.
How Fast Can Kitesurfers Go?
An average rider on a twin tip would usually cruise at around 15 - 25mph but speeds of up to 35 - 40mph can be achieved in the right conditions.
Stay tuned, because we're about to embark on an incredible adventure right here on KiteMed's doorstep, where the wind and waves dance to the rhythm of our kitesurfing dreams. Thanks for tuning in, and I'll catch you in the next video! Until then, keep those kites high and your spirits even higher. 🌊🏄‍♂️✨
