kalpitiya is best For kite surfing

This peninsula, surrounded on one side by the Indian Ocean and on the other by Puttalam’s lagoon, is the perfect place for kitesurfing, with several spots for beginners as well as advanced riders 
Kite surfing or kite boarding is an extreme sport which uses the power of the wind to pull a rider through the water on a small surfboard or kite board. Generally kite boarding refers to a style of riding known as freestyle or wake-style, whereas kite surfing is more "wave-riding" oriented. These two styles usually require different boards and specific performance kites. The sport is rapidly growing in popularity worldwide. Although kite surfing is possible throughout the year in Kalpitiya, it does require the highest possible wind conditions, and the best period for this is between April and November. A number of kite surfing schools have been set up in Kalpitiya approximately 5-7 kilometers from Dolphin Beach and have internationally qualified instructors who could assist both beginners and serious kiters
