Kitesurfing is an amazing sport where you can move in 3 dimensions and where you can enjoy the power of the wind to the max! Furthermore, if you can do kitesurfing in a place with very steady wind and flat water, then you are lucky. Sri Lanka is one of the kitesurfing destinies that is growing fastest around the world and this is because kitesurfing in Sri Lanka is like kitesurfing in paradise!<\/p>\n

If\u00a0 you haven’t heard that Sri Lanka is one of the top kitesurfing destinations yet, then you should keep reading my post. There are some incredible kitesurfing spots in Sri Lanka with flat water where you can learn quick and where you can improve your kitesurfing tricks in no time.<\/p>\n

Sri Lanka is South of India and it is called the Pearl of the Indian Ocean. It has incredible UNESCO heritage places and it is one of the countries with more biodiversity in the world. In the West coast of Sri Lanka, it is windy around 9 months of the year, that’s what makes Sri Lanka one of the most windiest countries in Asia.<\/p>\n

Because it is in the west coast where the wind blows strongest, it is on this west coastline where you can find some of the best kitesurfing spots in Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n

The capital of Sri Lanka is Colombo and most of these kite spots are located North of Colombo. The international airport is in the famous city of Negombo and it is possible to kite here also, however, the more North you go, the better kitesurfing spots you will find.<\/p>\n

What are the most famous kite spots in Sri Lanka?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kalpitiya<\/strong> is a paradise for kitesurfing <\/a>and the most famous kitesurfing destination in Sri Lanka. Around Kalpitiya you will find the best kite spots In Sri Lanka.\u00a0 That’s why you shouldn’t come to Sri Lanka for a kitesurfing trip without visiting Kalpitiya.<\/p>\n

Approximately 20 km South from Kalpitiya you will come across the town of Kappaladi, which is also a very famous destination and there you will find a small kite lagoon with very steady wind. Both Kalpitiya lagoon and Kappaladi lagoon are the perfect spots to master your kitesurfing skills.<\/p>\n

Donkey Point is a cape between Kalpitiya and Kapaladi and in the Summer the wind is perfect at this point. Here kite surfers come to kite in the ocean for the waves. At Donkey Point the wind is very strong in Summer and it is definitely not a good spot for beginners.<\/p>\n

Another very interesting kite spot to visit is Vella Island<\/a>, an island located 30 km North of Kalpitiya. Vella is a very long island with flat water and perfect for advanced kitesurfers. Vella Island has offshore winds and it is not recommended for beginners either.<\/p>\n

Among all the kite spots in Sri Lanka<\/a>, one the most famous is Dream Spot. Dream Spot is perfect for beginners because it has side shore winds. By boat, it is close to Kalpitiya town, so it is the perfect kite trip to do from Kalpitiya.<\/p>\n

Navy Point is another kite spot in Sri Lanka, located around 15 km North of Dream spot. In winter the water is really flat and the wind is offshore.<\/p>\n

Margarita Kite School is the one of the few schools that organise downinds from Dream Spot to Navy Point.<\/p>\n
