About us

Kitesurfing Lanka – A home for kitesurfer, wing foiler & free spirits

Founded in 2010 by Dilsiri Welikala – Sri Lanka’s first local instructor – and LΓ©o Moret, Kitesurfing Lanka was born from a shared dream. What started as one of the first kite camps in Kalpitiya has evolved into a thriving resort for water sports lovers worldwide. (Tap β€œOur Story” to dive deeper into our journey.)

Set on 8 acres of beachfront, our camp offers direct access to both the Kalpitiya lagoon’s flat water and the ocean waves beyond the sandbank. It’s a welcoming place for all levelsβ€”whether you’re here to master your first meters with our Kiteschool Sri Lanka instructors or to push your limits in the open sea.

As one of the most established destinations for kitesurfing in Sri Lanka, we provide everything you need for the perfect ride. From professional kitesurfing lessons Kalpitiya to high-end kite rental Sri Lanka services and wingfoil Kalpitiya coaching, we’ve got you covered.

Between sessions, enjoy our lush gardens, the chillout bar, or our seaside restaurant.

At KSL, you’re not just booking a room; you’re joining a vibrant community.

Seasons

Two distinct windy seasons

Live Wind

Kalpitiya offers two reliable kite seasons in Kalpitiya, making it a world-class destination throughout most of the year.

  • Summer Season (mid-May – mid-October): Expect strong, consistent cross-shore wind averaging 18–25 knots, with peaks up to 30 knots. It’s the peak time for non-stop action from dawn till dusk.

  • Winter Season (mid-December – mid-March): Offers lighter, steady afternoon winds ranging from 15–25 knots. Mornings are perfect for yoga, diving, or dolphin and whale watching.

Both seasons are warm and dry with water temperatures around 27Β°C, meaning you can kite without a wetsuit all year. While the wind direction shifts between seasons, the adventure remains the same: reliable wind, warm water, and a variety of spots to explore for every beginner or advanced kitesurfer.

Best kitesurfing spot for solo travelers

I had the most amazing stay here. The camp is perfect for solo travelers, has an awesome vibe and a super friendly staff. I came here for 24 days and we had wind 90% of the time so we could kitesurf at least once a day (first half of the trip it was even possible to kitesurf both in the morning and afternoon).

A great place to learn kite

This is a safe and lovely place to learn. Pick up from the airport was €85 each way, but it is a 3 hour drive (in a comfortable van with aircon so I slept most of it!). Arrived in time to sort room and do an afternoon lesson.
