Kitesurfing in Northern Cyprus — Schools, Clubs, and Gear Rental
Many beaches in Northern Cyprus experience steady sea breezes—ideal conditions for kitesurfing. Here, you can learn to catch the wind, jump on the waves, or simply spend a day on the coast enjoying active recreation. If you are already an experienced rider, you can rent a kite and equipment at one of the local clubs.
The island boasts over 200 windy days a year, and you can ride almost anywhere along the northern coast, provided the beach is not public. It is important to remember that for kiting, it is best to choose open areas with a smooth entry into the water.
