Hi Chrisos10, welcome to Surfing Waves.

You might want to start here. There gives info on beginners surfing equipment and leads onto surfboards. There's also loads of posts on this forum about beginners boards, so use the search feature and see what you can find.
2)is there any site online wich u suggest me to order my equipment? (but please european site to delivery to cyprus )

https://surfing-waves.com/surfshop.htm :D - Anything marked as a UK product (£) is shipped to Europe.
3)is there any tip or trick or tecnhique to do to dicrease the cold???even thow if u are wearing a suit?

Plenty of paddling will help keep you warm. Make sure you get a good quality, well fitting wetsuit that is thick enough for the temperatures you'll be surfing in.

Hope that helps.

The prices look reasonable for wetsuits and other bits and bobs. I would buy your first surfboard second hand, something 8ft+ and wide should set you up well :)

An untrustworthy site would say yes you can trust the site so would a trust worthy site, spend a little time looking at all the posts on this site and decide for yourself.
Hey to there is enough fetch in Cyprus that might create good surf sometimes why not post a few spots and photos.
There are at least 6 surf spots I know of in Cyprus some of them are mainly used by windsurfers but they can have their day. Helios and Sandy Beach would be where I'd start to learn.Just had a google earth look at the SW coast there are some set ups there which coud produce great surf, but probably as fickle as anything.
As for boards and buying them on the net read more of the posts it's a challenge for someone in a surfing outpost but with a Britsh military base at the southern end there may be some service men who wish to sell their boards before going home,
