There are soooo many people coming to Sri Lanka, especially in our area, Kalpitya, for kitesurfing, it's unbelievable!

Some come for kiteboarding/kitesurfing courses, to learn it in a tropical environment, some are already proficient and just spend their holidays in our area, or even with us at the Kiteboarding Beach Hut. For example these guys, who filmed this fantastic video, which includes our kitesurfing gear, i.e. FAITH KITEBOARDING, for which we are island wide dealers!

faith boards!

Watching Mondi and his friends kite-surfing at Negombo`s beautiful beach I wished becoming a kiter also. Although I (63) am a grandfather with big ear-/balance problems it was Mondi who encoureged me trying this fascinating sport - well knowing that in water I cant wear my ear aid....- and I cant hear and follow his instructions. After listening to many safety regulations and theoretical aspects of kiting Mondi explained important details about the equipment. In the next step under Mondi´s critical eyes I had to learn handling the kite. Starting it, launching same under power and landing it on the beach. I have to admit that it was much more difficult than I expected it to be. Controlling the kite in the water and bodydragging I felt difficult to learn because I couldn`t hear Mondi´s instructions. Whenever I was demotivated as I could not see a progress in my efforts in a combination of diplomatic and pedagogical support he always encouraged me to keep up! For that I am very thankful to him! Here I should not forget to mention that so far I dont call myself KITER - but I am very confident that with Mondi`s help within short I will manage...
At last but not at least I want to point out that there are hours after kiting. It would be an unforgivable mistake missing the evenings after training!

when kitesurfing waves.....

RIP (in all senses) 11 sq.metre essence.... :-(

Off to the South!

2011-06-24T15:41:00.003+05:30

During this season the South West monsoon winds can hit the South coast giving us nice wind obviously, but also nice waves. This weekend we are heading down to Hikkaduwa, Galle and Weligama to have a blast wave riding! Will update with pics when we come back.

At the moment we are in Negombo (home spot), there are around 16 knots, so my friend Knolzi is coming to test some new kites this afternoon and i will happily give him a helping hand!

new pics from our kitesurfing life in sri lanka

The weekend was absolutely superb for kitesurfing in kalpitiya, sri lanka, with lots of highlights (as always ;-P). Wind amazing, but the waves!!! Incredible height and regularity, you could fit a football ground of FLAT water between the passed wave and the incoming one. Riding them was the best session ever, the corridor was kilometres long, so you could go from one wave to the next with ease....unbelievable...!
Here is a mix of pics:

I suppose it's true...i'm always the last one to wake up...i just can't do this morgen fruh, aber fruh fruh stuff!!

Knolzi jumping with the Elements bungalows in the background

How is the view from up there?

YOU BROUGHT THE GIN?????? YEAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Let's have one then! i'll cut the lime, possibly not the finger....

hey ho! let's go!

2011-06-14T18:03:00.007+05:30

So...let's go! Lots of people discovering our beautiful spot (Kappalady lagoon and ocean) and sport (kitesurfing or kiteboarding), from all over the planet: Greeks, Germans, Spaniards, Sri Lankans, Austrians, Singaporeans, Russians, Danes, Ukranians....

I will be teaching this week on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, the rest of the week...just kiting!!!

The season is in full swing, check out the forecast in the links section and book your tropical paradise holiday and/or kitesurfing course at fantastic rates! No wetsuits needed, just a lycra and shorts!

See you soon on the water!
