About this spot
Surf in Crete names Arina Beach as "our best Wave Ride Spot in Crete for ultimate wave kitesurf" and states that only advanced wave kitesurfers can ride here. The school's IKO profile locates it at Arina Beach, Kokkini Hani, with kite teaching, rescue and boat instruction; the teaching is mobile/deep-water, so shore riding and the lesson base are different things.
A reseller advertises a beginner course at Arina Beach, but the primary operator's advanced-only wave restriction governs the shore spot, so no flat, shallow, walkable beginner-water claim is made here. No verified direction, wind range or local seasonal statistics were recovered for this beach in this audit; the exact launch and wave behaviour need local confirmation.
