Kitesurfing is one of the most exhilarating sports in the world, offering an unbeatable combination of wind, water, and adrenaline. But like any extreme sport, it comes with its risks. Having spent decades on the water, first as a windsurfer and later as a passionate kitesurfer, I’ve seen just about everything – epic sessions, smooth rides, and a fair share of mishaps. At Kitekuda Kite Resort and the Duotone Pro Center Kappalady, we make safety a top priority, ensuring that every rider, whether beginner or advanced, knows how to handle themselves on the water. So, here are my top kitesurfing safety tips to keep you riding with confidence.
So, you've mastered the basics of kitesurfing, riding upwind, smooth transitions, and controlled speed, but now you're looking to take your skills to the next level. As an intermediate kiter, this is where the real fun begins! At Kitekuda Kite Resort and Duotone Pro Center Kappalady, we see many riders eager to progress, and with the right techniques, conditions, and mindset, you can unlock a whole new level of kitesurfing. Here are my top tips for improving your kitesurfing skills.
Kitesurfing isn’t just for adrenaline-seeking adults. It’s an incredible sport for kids too! Over the years, I’ve seen countless young riders take their first steps (or rather, their first glides) into the world of kitesurfing right here at Kitekuda. With the right approach, proper equipment, and experienced instructors, kids can learn to kitesurf safely while having an absolute blast. If you're considering introducing your little ones to the sport, here’s what you need to know.
"We’ve been enjoying Kitekuda for many years. As well as always being welcomed and looked after as if we're family, it ticks all the boxes for a kite holiday. Who doesn’t love strolling from their room, rigging up and launching straight onto the lagoon? Absolutely hassle free, brilliant!"
"Perfect location to kite, lighter but steadier wind than Kalpitiya, and I could launch my kite basically 10m away from my room. Lagoon was not busy at all, maybe because I cam second half of September."
"Everytime I need to leave this paradise i am already planning my next stay. But i can tell you anything here. The one and only way for you to prove if i am right or wrong is to try it yourself. Just be careful - this place has addiction potential ;)"
