About this experience
Kitesurfing is an extreme sport — and this three-hour discovery course in Kalpitiya is where you take your first real steps into it. You strap into a harness, learn to control a large traction kite, and gradually work up to being pulled across the water on a board by the wind. The session is private, so the instructor focuses entirely on you from the moment you arrive on the beach. All safety equipment is provided. Food and drinks are not included, so bring your own refreshments. Minimum age is seven years.
Kalpitiya, on Sri Lanka's north-west coast, is one of the island's premier kitesurfing spots, blessed with steady seasonal winds and shallow lagoon waters that are forgiving for beginners. Lakpura organises this course as a standalone activity — ideal if you want a structured, guided introduction to the sport without committing to a full multi-day programme.
