The morning sun hits the pale sand of Rethymno's main beach and the sea answers with a ribbon of glassy blue that dares you to move. Riders slip into wetsuits or quick-dry shorts, run through a short safety briefing, then ease onto a jet ski as the crew watches from the shoreline. For fifteen minutes the city noise thins; the sea pushes forward and the jet ski becomes a small, fast world of wake and wind.
