The lagoon island
Flat lagoons, boat missions to empty sandbars and camps built at the water's edge: kitesurfing in Sri Lanka means Kalpitiya. The southwest monsoon delivers from May to October, a second northerly season runs December to March, and the sea sits between 27 and 30 degrees all year. It is also the destination where the rest of the trip writes itself — elephants, tea country and the south coast are all a drive away.
