Windsurfing & Kitesurfing



*Sri Lanka isn't renowned for its windsurfing or kitesurfing but that dosen't mean there's no action. Negombo has a well run kitesurfing school that runs kiting trips up and down the coast. Further north the Kalpitiya area is gaining a reputation for kitesurfing. Winds tend to be more consistent up here but for the moment facilities are few and far between.
*On that note the far north of Sri Lanka around Munnar Island and the islands off Jaffna have good windsurfing potential, but they remain very much off the beaten track.
*Some top end hotels and a couple of private water sport operators around the Bentota area hire beaten up sailboards. It's a good place for learners and lessons are possible.
