Margarita Village Kalpitiya Kite school programme

IKO centers are kitesurfing schools that meet all the teaching and safety requirements established by the International Kitesurfing Organization. By following the IKO rules and guidelines, we make sure that students learn according to high-quality and safety standards

The most important thing is the experience and qualifications of the instructors. In our kite school we use new and latest-generation equipment; and a rescue boat that will always be attentive to all the students in the water.

No. If you have already taken a course before, we return to where you left off.

Do not worry, if the weather conditions prevent you from taking the course, we are not going to charge you. You will only pay for the effective class hours.

Swimsuit, sun cream, sunglasses, and a smile. We provide you with the rest: kite, board, harness, helmet, and good vibes!

The course can be paid for by bank transfer, card, or cash.

Thanks to the new designs of the kites, security systems, and teaching methodologies, this sport is suitable for all audiences who want to learn it.

Depending on age and physical condition, each person has a different learning rhythm, but certainly everyone can try this experience.

The best months to learn kitesurfing in Kalpitiya are from May to October and from December to March. We highly recommend checking the wind forecast before coming.

What are the differences between semi-private courses and private lessons?

Semi-private kitesurfing course is for two students with a teacher. This course is ideal to share with a friend, child, or partner.

The private kitesurf course is designed for students who want to learn faster and this is undoubtedly the best option. You will have an instructor totally dedicated to you.

 If you come alone and want to do semi-private lessons, we can try to group you with another student who is in your same situation and at the same level (upon availability) However, private courses are normally more cost-effective than group lessons
