Student Testimonies - Dennis & Lisa

Dennis (Germany) and Lisa (Australia) were part of a bigger group that came to learn the sport. Tremendous progress was made by both students.

"It was the first time i tried this fascinating sport and it won't be the last. Sure, the first few steps are the hardest and sometimes you need a lot of patience but when the wind finally catches the kite and you "fly" over the water, you understand that people get addicted to kite surfing;" Dennis

"Great weekend. Amazed how we learned to control these huge kites in just 2 days. Great outdoor experience and lots of fun in the water. Thank you Dilsiri, for you patient and professional guidance;" Lisa

Student Testimonies - Petr & Lena

We were quite sure that we will like kiteboarding because of its similarities to other board sports such as snowboarding and skiing, its outdoor characteristics, proximity of sun and smell of the ocean. Even though we can hardly stand up after a 3-days course, we decided to buy the kite right after the course. We feel even bigger impression and more enthusiasm right now and cannot wait for the next opportunity to fly the kite again!!!

We are both very happy, that it was exactly Dilsiri who was our first kite-instructor and we both hope to improve our kiteboarding skills to become real kiteboarders soon, so that Dilsiri can be proud of us! Dilsiri, many thanks for the wonderful experience, it was you thanks to whom we fell in love with kiteboarding and Sri Lanka!

Kitesurfing Arripu - Home of the Doric

Ok, dont mistake it for Parripu (Dhal). Arripu is found north of Puttalam. Its known for the Doric - the mansion of the first British Governor of Ceylon. There is also a very old Dutch Fort 1 KM north of the Doric. Sadly this historical monument is falling prey to neglect. Hopefully this kiting trip would give impetus to lobby for a restoration/ protection of this part of history. For more information click HERE.
