cyprus kitesurfing cyprus kitesurferWhen our Windsurfing and Kitesurfing school in Cyprus started back in 2000 it was the first of it's kind in Cyprus and still is to this date the most visited. Our aim at Extreme Sports Cafe is to help anyone planning a windsurfing, kitesurfing, mountainboard or surfing activity in Cyprus by providing them with a rundown of these extreme sports main centers of activity and related services available Cyprus wide.

Although relatively unknown for these sports Cyprus has now gained an excellent reputation thanks to it's sunshine, steady winds, sandy beaches and ideal water temperatures. The friendliness and hospitality of the cypriot people is also legendary and makes Cyprus a lifelong favorite for those who visit. We look forward to welcoming you and hope to get the opportunity to make your stay with us a practical, safe and fun one.

Extreme Sports Cafe uses only new Kitesurfing equipment and has IKO (International Kite Organisation) qualified kitesurf instructors in our school, as well as international level kitesurfing champions, thus ensuring the highest level of instruction in a safe environment.

We are a relatively small kite school specializing in quality kitesurfing tuition. We only use the latest, safest equipment and our instructors (3) which are all qualified and top sailors (some are sponsored) are limited to 2 students per course to optimize quality of tuition.

Our operating center and windsurf/kiteshop is situated in Limassol just 15mn away from the main kite beaches, but we can provide accommodation for our clients if they require it near the sea.

Weather, and the best dates for Kitesurfing on Cyprus.

cyprus kitesurfing cyprus kitesurfersCyprus is a warm and sunny Mediterranean island offering tourists the chance to relax in the sun, swim in the sea and a whole lot more. Generally the weather in Cyprus is ideal from May to October. As with every country, Cyprus can never be guaranteed to provide perfect weather all of the time.

Our season usually starts in May and ends in October. During this period the sea breeze is very reliable and allows us to kitesurf almost every day. The winter months although windy, are unpredictable with either excellent conditions for advanced riders (waves) or long windless periods.

book kitesurfing online3 Day Beginners Kitesurfing Course

Price €250.00

cyprus kitesurfing cyprus kitesurfersRun over three long Cyprus afternoons this kitesurfing course will take someone who knows nothing about kitesurfing to a level where they are competent and safe to kitesurf on their own.

This is an 8 hour kitesurfing course spread over 3/4 days, depending on weather and your own personal endurance. This course takes most people from the stage of complete kitesurfing novices to the point where they can independently rig, launch, and land their kites, get on their boards and sail some distance in a manner which is safe for them and other water users. When the course is over we find that most people are happy to keep on practicing on their own for a while thus getting more familiar with the new technics and ready for course 2. Price is 250 Euros inclusive of new Cabrinha equipment and no more than 2 students per instructor.

Booking and Payment Guidelines

In order to avoid disappointment we advise customers to book at least 8 weeks in advance. This does not mean we can not take late bookings, however in our experience rushed decisions can cause unnecessary problems. Before committing to any dates please contact us in order to check availability. Alternatively, when booking online you can give two other possible dates when you could attend the course. This potential problem will be avoided if you book at least 8 weeks in advance.

When you make the decision to book a course, a course deposit must be paid in order to secure your place. Having secured your place the remaining balance can then be paid when you get to Cyprus and visit our kitesurfing school for the first time.
