In the ancient times, even before the birth of Buddhism and calendars, Asian ascetics made it a practice to cease worldly pursuits on full moon days and engage themselves in religious activities. The Lord Buddha adopted this practice as well and developed the preaching of Buddhist texts in monasteries and temples on full moon (Poya) days.  Every year Buddhists world over commemorate the ‘triple anniversary’ of the Buddha on Vesak Poya.  It is believed that Buddha was born, attained enlightenment and passed away on Vesak Poya day. Buddha also made his third and final visit to Lanka on Vesak day and for this reason, Vesak is celebrated throughout the island on this national holiday.

Whilst Sri Lanka is regarded as one of the best island-surf destinations in the world, little attention has been paid to kite surfing. With the South-West monsoon providing regular bouts of rain between the months of May and September, the western coast of the island is blessed with regular winds- ideal for kite surfing.

So why would anyone head to Sri Lanka for kite surfing over other destinations? It’s quite simple really - since the sport remains relatively untapped on the island, this only means one thing. Vast expanses of pristine beaches, lagoons and mangroves that remain undiscovered. Areas such as the Kalpitiya lagoon with its flat, shallow water make it an ideal spot for novice kiters. For a more challenging ride one does not have to venture far; head toward the beach or where ever the wind takes you- literally!
Be amongst the first to ride these waves and stumble upon some of the most unspoiled beaches and lagoons with our certified kite surfing partners.
