There is hardly a day that passes in Kalpitiya without winds blowing by in torrents, hence the climatic conditions surpass the expectations of a veteran kite surfer and kite boarder. For a considerable period of time, Kalpitiya was synonymous with whale watching and thousands would flock during their holiday seasons to venture out into the ocean to catch a glimpse of these majestic mammals in their natural habitat. The adventurous whale watching folk caused a demand for kite surfing along the coast and it is then that the activity was taken up by the locals with enthusiasm and glee.
The Kalpitiya lagoon boasts tranquil waters where you can safely attempt your new tricks prior to performing the stunts on the waves outside the lagoon. Once enrolled at a kite-surfing school, beginners will be taught step-by-step and their confidence will be built within a short span of three days so that they can commence daredevil stunts in no time at all. The veterans can directly venture into splendid seas of Kalpitiya, where a wind speed of twenty to twenty five knots is consistently achieved between April and October. The schools and a few small gear renting shops are available on the beach itself; therefore, even if you do not have your own gear, there is no need to worry; it will be provided to you.
The colourful kites that bob about in the skyline of Kalpitiya are carefully watched over so that any kite surfer who is in trouble is assisted immediately. Some choose to laze in the sun and watch while their family members take on the waves; they will be delighted with the hammocks and chilled drinks that are served at selected locations on the shore.
