The sea pushes and cajoles you toward the shore as the instructors set up rigs on a broad, shallow spit of sand outside Larnaca. Salt and sun mix with the low rumble of engines from the nearby marina; within minutes you’re standing on a simulator for a quick theory run, then sliding a board into waist‑deep water to test balance and steer into the wind.

Check the wind forecast
Confirm wind direction and strength before you go — mid‑afternoon sea breezes are common in summer and make lessons more consistent.
Bring swimwear and fast‑dry layers
Wear a swimsuit under a wetsuit or rash guard and bring a change of clothes and towel for comfort after the session.
Be honest about swimming ability
Non‑swimmers and those uncomfortable in waves should disclose this — lessons require basic water confidence.
Protect skin and gear
Use reef‑safe sunscreen, a hat for shore briefing, and secure phones in a waterproof pouch.
Short wetsuit or rash guard
Keeps you warm during cooler spring mornings and protects skin during falls.
