Note* If your planing on the ride to Uchimunai Church make sure to you got 3L + of water, a decent set of dirt tires and do not snap pics of the church without asking the villagers.(They saw me taking snaps of the church and the whole village gathered around me asking why was I taking pics of the church, some didn't believe me at 1st as I was alone, they thought I was going to make money off selling pics. They even took a pic of me yah, that's when I got freaked out. Some how got them to believe me after showing few of my travel pics with the motorcycle. Phew... ) After all they are nice people, struggling to live along and they've had enough with people who come along promising hopes and never show up again* This was told by them F.Y.I.

This is Vella Island Kalpitiya !! Kitesurfing in Sri Lanka
Kitesurfing in Sri Lanka - Vella island, among the best kite spots in the world!!
Did you heard that Sri Lanka is the new top kitesurfing destination? Yes, indeed you can find some of the best spots in the world in the west coast of Sri Lanka. With more than 400 km of coastline there are countless of kite spots with super steady wind!
The main kitesurfing season in Sri Lanka is from ending of May up to ending September-beginning of May. During these months the wind is quite strong , with an average of 20 knots aprox. By the other hand, in winter time, the wind average is around 16 knots. It doesn´t matter in which season you are travelling to Sri Lanka for a kitesurfing trip, because you can do kite trips anytime is windy!!
The best spot in Sri Lanka to learn kitesurfing is in Kalpitiya lagoon, a lagoon with flat water. Depending on the tide sometimes the water is also very shallow, so it is a very good spot to learn kite. Also, from Kalpitiya, many kitesurfers go to other spots around, like the Vella Island kite trip, the ippantivu island kite trip or the Dream spot kite trip! All these kite spots have flat water what is super suitable for whoever want to practise some kite tricks!
Why Vella island is considered one of the best kitesurfing spot in Sri Lanka?
It is very difficult to find a kite spot like Vella island with such an amazing conditions for kitesurfing! Vella island is a tiny island located north from Kalpitiya and it has the perfect conditions to kite and to progress in kitesurfing: flat water with super steady winds! If you come to Sri Lanka for kitesurfing you can not miss Vella Island!
What is the most suitable kitesurfing equipment when travelling to Sri Lanka?
If you travel in winter time better you take with you kites from 12 to 16 metres and in summer time from 7 to 10 metres depending on your weight. Sometimes, in summer time the wind could get up to 30 knots so be ready in that case! In winter time the wind is always quite consisten with 14-16 knots as I said before, however if you have the chance to bring with you a very big kite, better you bring to Sri Lanka in case
Are there other interesting kitesurfing spots?
Yes, there is a small lagoon called Kappaladi and it is also very near from Kalpitiya. You can learn kitesurfing in Kappaladi very easily because it is a small lagoon and very safe t learn kite.
A part from Kappaladi, you can also do kite in Puttalam lagoon. Puttalam lagoon is a huge lagoon with more than 60 km large so you can imagine! It is like a flat water ocean! If you have the chance, you can organise a kitesurfing trip by the Puttalam lagoon to visit many islands around!
If you want to do kite in the east coast, you can fo to Arugam Bay, where the wind is no consistent as in the west coast but this village is really authentic. Arugam Bay became very famous as a surfing destination and now is a touristic village full of surfers and with very good vibes!
What most of the people do when coming to Sri Lanka for a kitesurfing trip is go to Kalpitiya first and from Kalpitiya they plan some kitesurfing trips to the kite spots around. Nowadays most of the resorts in KAlpitiya can organise very easily kite trips.
Dolphin watching - Kalpitiya, Sri Lanka ( Indian Ocean) by Ayal Perera
Dolphin watching in Sri Lanka has always been a very exciting activity. The thrill that you get when you witness these beautiful creatures is always humbling. You can enjoy these expeditions mainly during the morning and afternoon, while the morning trip is considered the best to try it out.
Your clothing should always be comfortable. We suggest shorts, Shoes with rubber soles are advised while safety jackets and gear are provided by the expedition organizers. Sunscreen is suggested since you will be spending a good couple of hours out in the ocean. The boat ride would be at times choppy and for those who get sea sick should take precautions prior to boarding the boat. A pair of binoculars and your camera equipment can be taken aboard so that you will be able to document your excursion every step of the way.
It is always wise to check the weather conditions on the day of your trip so that you are prepared beforehand. Even though there are predicted monsoon seasons, you should be well geared for sudden downpours. Make sure that all excursion reservations are made in advance so that it suits your schedule. We suggest that you arrive at the docks earlier than the specified departure time.
We would also like to mention that dolphin sightings can be unpredictable at times and there might be occasions that you might not spot these mammals. However, the trip itself to the deep blue Indian Ocean is completely worth your time.
