Discovering new spots - Kitesurf Mullathivu!

Its been about 2 years since I got this excited about Kiting in new places in Sri Lanka! We were the first to kite in Jaffna, Adam's Bridge in Mannar, Arippu and now the North East of Sri Lanka in Mullathivu! I dont know what to expect, not sure if the army would allow me to kite. I wonder if there are sea and land mines still. Pretty excited. Will keep you updated. Sri Lanka rocks!

KSL Kalpitiya Newsletter 2013

Dear Friends of Kitesurfing Lanka!

We are stoked that some of you were able to share in the Sri Lanka Kitesurfing experience. We had a pretty awesome season! ‘Big Camp’ was opened this year and our team expanded.

We have had many fond memories of the season starting from the time our first guest Natalia from Russia, to the crazy French Zo Zo playing and keeping the crowds entertained at nights. Brice and Mellanie had an epic 4 month stay in Kalpitiya and Janey joined KSL to commence an exciting project to teach English to the rural fishermen and give a facelift to the local pre-school in the village of Kandakuliya in Kalpitiya.

2014 will see a number of improvements;

For Kitesurfing

ü  New kite storage for guest and area to clean kites

ü  No more bumpy lorry rides to lagoon, we’ll have more comfortable jeeps

ü  Rentals of gear and kites on the beach – saves you the trouble just in case you have selected wrong gear

ü  Beach boys and a compressor – no more looking for pumps

ü  Safety boat and rescue free of charge for KSL guests

ü  New kite spots

For Residents at Kitesurfing Lanka

ü  Fast broadband internet for free

ü  Upgrades to all Premium Bungalows and new lagoon-side Bungalows

ü  Greener KSL garden

ü  Chill-out area with tea/ coffee, cakes, library and sheisha corner

ü  Other activities for non kiters like Kayak, Cycles and trips

ü  Snack menus and perhaps an Ala Carte menu

We will never be closed, from October to April we will still operate the kiteschool (December to March we have a secondary season). For no wind days we have Dolphin, Whales Watching, Snorkelling & Diving, Kayaking Expeditions. Please see our ‘Dolphin Season’ website – www.kalpitiyadolphin.com

If you have any feedback for improvements for the coming season, please feel free to send us a mail. We would really appreciate it.

Dil, Leo and the Team from Kitesurfing Lanka
