When summer arrives at Kappalady Lagoon in May, it brings with it some of the most epic kitesurfing conditions you could ask for. The Yala Monsoon winds (May to September) turn this little paradise into a kitesurfing haven, attracting riders from all over the world. As the owner of Kitekuda Kite Resort and the Duotone Pro Center Kappalady, I’ve seen first-hand how special this place is – not just for the incredible kiting but also for the unforgettable atmosphere that forms among the kiters who visit.
There’s something truly special about the moment when the sun dips below the horizon here in Kappalady. Having lived at Kitekuda Kite Resort for several years, I’ve seen thousands of sunsets. But let me tell you, it never gets old. Every evening, nature puts on a show, painting the sky in breathtaking shades of orange, pink, and purple, and for those who take the time to stop and soak it in, it’s pure magic.
When it comes to kitesurfing, location is everything. And after decades of riding in different spots around the world, I can confidently say that Kappalady Lagoon is one of the best places for both beginners and advanced kitesurfers, no matter if you visit in summer (May–September) or winter (December–March). Whether you're taking your first steps into the sport or you're an experienced rider looking for top conditions, let me tell you why Kappalady should be at the top of your list.
"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 ;)"
