KITE LESSONS

LEARN HOW TO KITESURF

If you've ever dreamed of feeling the exhilarating rush of kitesurfing, Duotone Pro Center Kappaladi in Sri Lanka is the perfect destination to begin your adventure. With a steady breeze all season long and shallow waters, you can enjoy the sport in just your board shorts or bikini. Our team of IKO instructors will expertly guide you through the learning process, following the guidelines set by the International Kiteboarding Organisation (IKO). We offer instruction in English, German, French, and Sinhala, ensuring a fun and educational experience. You'll not only have a blast but also acquire the necessary safety knowledge and techniques to become a skilled kitesurfer.

During the main season (May - Sep), we teach 2 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the afternoon. For full beginners we suggest doing the 3 day (12hrs) beginner kitesurf course. People with previous experience or fast learners might be able to book a shorter course. There are no hard and fast rules for how much or how little of the beginner kite course you will get through, our main objective is that after a course you are capable of going out by yourself safely and independently. You can pre-book kitesurf lessons through our inquiry form. We only pre-book the courses displayed in the form and group lessons can only be pre-booked by two people. If you want to book private kite lessons for several people, make sure to add each course separately to your booking.
