Kite surfing is an exciting sport that combines a variety of skills. Contrary to popular belief, you don't have to be in crazy good shape to start learning. Beginner kitesurfing requires a moderate level of physical fitness and endurance, and isn't for those who don't like adventure. But both men and women of all ages who love adventure and are close to the ocean should definitely give kite surfing a try!

Kalpitiya, an amazing shallow water lagoon spot and a wind safety equal to that of Brazil in two long seasons, from May to October and December to March. Perfect for those of you who want to learn kitesurfing or improve their kitesurf skills. Live right by the lagoon at KiteWorldWide Lagoon Lodge with comfortable rooms and swimming pool in the garden!

Sri Lanka is the closest tropical kitesurfing destination and can be reached with numerous airlines, including the comfortable and affordable Golf Airlines such as Emirates and Turkish Airlines.

A variety of activities, besides kitesurfing, are available to create an unforgettable time for you. Whether it’s the jungle safari where you may even see baby elephants, the morning yoga session (on land or on SUPs), camping under the Milky Way on Vella Island, dolphin and whale watching, visiting the UNESCO World Heritage Site Anuradhapura (the forgotten city) or surfing at the nearest wave spot. There is a lot of fun stuff to do for everyone!
