Kitesurfing has come a long way since its early days. What was once a niche extreme sport has now become a global phenomenon, with world-class gear, dedicated kitesurfing resorts, and a growing community of passionate riders. Having spent decades on the water, I’ve seen firsthand how kitesurfing has evolved - both in terms of equipment and riding styles. At Kitekuda Kite Resort and the Duotone Pro Center Kappalady, we witness these advancements every day, as riders push the limits of what’s possible on the water. Let’s take a deep dive into how kitesurfing has changed over the years and why the sport is more accessible, safer, and more exciting than ever before.
There’s nothing quite like the thrill of carving through the water, powered by the steady pull of the wind. But what happens when the wind doesn’t show up as expected? Every kitesurfer has faced those frustratingly light-wind days, where the forecast promised wind, but reality has other plans. The good news? Light wind kitesurfing isn’t just possible – it can be an incredible way to refine your skills, explore new disciplines, and still have a fantastic session. Having spent decades on the water, I’ve learned a thing or two about making the most of low-wind conditions. Whether you're here at Kitekuda Kite Resort or kiting elsewhere, here’s how you can turn those light-wind days into golden opportunities.
There’s something truly special about a downwinder. The feeling of freedom, the wind in your kite, and the endless open water ahead - it’s an experience every kitesurfer should have at least once. Here at Kitekuda Kite Resort, we’re lucky to have one of the best downwind routes in Sri Lanka: from Kappalady to Donkey Point. If you’re an intermediate or advanced rider looking for an adventure beyond the flatwater lagoon, this is for you!
"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 ;)"
