Brace yourselves, guys and gals, you can expect to be kiting pretty much all day every day!

Kapitiya peninsula is ideal for kite surfing! The small islets, reefs and sandbanks along the north of the peninsula present the perfect opportunity for downwinders and other kite trips.

Beginners typically report awesome experiences of learning how to kitesurf in the flat, shallow water of the Kalpitiya Lagoon.

The kite stations are also the epicenter of social activity in Kalpitiya, so if you’re looking to hang out and meet people, this is the place to be.

In Kalpitiya there are two distinct kite seasons – summer season which runs May to October and winter season from mid-December to mid-March. Both summer and winter are warm, dry and windy, but the wind direction changes making every spot a new adventure! Most of our kite trips run year round, with a select few that are season dependent.

During the main (summer) kiteboarding season in Kalpitiya, the wind blows daily at an average of 25 knots- often with gusts in excess of 30. The Kalpitiya wind arrives over land from the southwest during these months, which is why it’s usually very gusty by the time it reaches the lagoon.

The good news is in high season, the wind blows virtually 24/7. Brace yourselves, guys and gals, you can expect to be kiting pretty much all day every day!

During the winter season for kitesurfing in Kalpitiya, the wind direction changes to northeast and the wind reaches the lagoon from across the sea- meaning it’s much smoother and far less gusty than it is during the summer season.

We organise several kite trips for you to choose from, ranging from beginner level to advanced, and you can kite at a different location each day of the week with Soul!
