Kitesurfing Yogi's to 12 foot Walls of Water - Kabalana and Galle Sessions

The South West monsoons bring about great winds to Sri Lanka. Up in Kabalana the sessions (and waves) were superb. You do learn a few things in the process, lessons for life. For instance, WHEN THERE'S WIND, DONT GO CHASING WIND! Wind in Mount Lavinia and we decide to drive 100 KM thinking the wind will be better, it was not so. Oh, well, we kite, we learn, we kite.

.

Damien, it was great to have you in Sri Lanka. Do come back for more Yoga/Kitesurfing. Kitesurf Sri Lanka also welcomes Ashley, Brady and Kristin to Sri Lanka! More pictures of their advenure to follow!

In the pictures, Damien teaching the kids in Galle a few things about kiting, Thambili Break, Marco riding the waves and the new Faith Essence Kite!

Kite Jam 2010 – Sri Lanka’s first Kitesurfing event is held at the Kappalady Lagoon in Kalpitiya

These guys didn’t quite make it for the Bradby, neither did they opt for parties in Colombo – they chose something closer to their hearts, closer to nature, something that would give them a rush - Kitesurfing!

.

Kitesurfing blends a number of high powered sporting disciplines such as windsurfing, surfing and wake boarding. The kitesurfer uses the power of the wind to power a kite which helps propel one along a body of water at high speeds with the use of a kiteboard.

.

Kitesurfing has come a long way since its inception over 15 years ago. In Sri Lanka the scene has slowly but surely gaining popularity. Currently there are around 15 resident kitesurfers, expats and a few locals involved in the sport.

.

Sri Lanka is fast becoming a popular destination for the sport with ideal winds, water temperature and mixture of sea and lagoon enticing the freestyle and wave riders alike.

.

Kite Jam 2010, Sri Lanka’s first kitesurfing event held on June 26 attracted 16 kiters from all over the world including professional kitesurfers. Two events were held, the Jump Event and the Timed Event won by Leo Moret and Hannes Knoltz respectively.

.

Kalpitiya boasts of perfect conditions for kiting. Understanding the potential this location, Elements (Pvt) Limited, a BOI company is in the process of setting up Sri Lanka’s first Kite Village which would offer luxury accommodation, kitesurf lessons, equipment and other related products.

.

Kitesurfing in Sri Lanka is here to stay, and you could be part of the coolest sport during the hottest time in Sri Lanka!

Its all about the experience - Midnight Kitesurfing

Full moon, clean 30 knot winds. We all wanted to. No one dared until Mischi pumped his kite and started kiting. Leo and I thought, if he can, so can we. Lines set out with the help of torch light. Double checked, triple checked and then launch. Error free. Perfect.

.

Kiting under moonlight is an amazing experience. The water reflects the beams of light and slowly but surely your eyes accustom to the low lighting conditions. Once comfortable, the kiters get more daring. Moves closer to the shore, high jumps just add to the thrill.

.

Kitesurfing, what an amazing sport.
