Surfpoint Sri Lanka

Ladened with lagoons and consistent seasonal wind, Kalpitiya's a well-known destination in the kitesurfing world. Kitesurfing is a pleasurable activity that you can enjoy particularly on some of the best destinations in Sri Lanka. Ruwan is full of information and is great at helping set up travel to the various kitesurfing spots around Kalpitiya. In Sri Lanka, kitesurfing is synonymous with Margarita Kite School.

But July is in the middle of the kite season so the wind is always on. Sitting about 16 kilometers south of Kalpitiya, Kappalady lagoon is small but scenic (there's hardly room for 20 kiters, FYI, it's really tiny!). In the summer season, we can organise a downwind trip and spend a night camping on the little islands scattered throughout the Puttalam lagoon.

I was looking at several blogs of Kite spots in the world and I was struck by a place called Kalpitiya in the northwest of Sri Lanka, where there is an ideal lagoon for this sport. Kitesurfing is a lot of fun in Kalpitiya and any kitesurfer should try to visit the place at least once.

We organise as well luxuries kite trip and downwind trip on a nice catamaran. The dream spot Kalpitiya is located in the Dutch Bay", just 25 minutes by boat from Kalpitiya Lagoon. Is the new discovered kitesurfing spot. That's all you need after a fulfilling day of kitesurfing.

This spot is perfect for beginners because it has side shore winds. In the past year or so, there's been a few 'waiting around for the wind' periods in the winter season. Often misconception is, that we are located at Kalpitiya lagoon - we are NOT. Sri Lanka is known as the most exotic kiteboarding destinations in Asia.

Kitesurfing in Puttalam Lagoon isn't all that suitable for solo exploration. In the season that goes from December to March the sea is calm and it is the best kite school in sri lanka time to do diving, snorkeling, or go see dolphins or whales, so if it is not windy you can do many other activities.
