Kitesurfers Beginners Guide
Thinking of taking your first kitesurfing lesson in Sri Lanka?
Welcome to Kalpitiya – one of Asia’s best spots for kite lessons for beginners. With warm, shallow lagoons, consistent wind, and professional instructors, Kalpitiya is the perfect place to start your kitesurfing journey.
Why Kalpitiya Is Ideal for Beginners
Kalpitiya, located on the northwestern coast of Sri Lanka, is known for its steady wind conditions from May to October and December to March. The Kalpitiya Lagoon offers waist-deep water and flat conditions – exactly what beginners need for a safe and enjoyable learning experience.
Unlike beach breaks with waves and currents, Kalpitiya gives you a calm, controlled environment to focus on technique and progress quickly.
