Planet's partner kitesurf school in Kalpatiya is based directly on Kalpatiya Lagoon, a perfect flat water spot for all levels.
The centre is located at Upul de Silva's Resort which also provides accommodation, refreshments and all the sports services needed.
The kitesurfing takes place across the lagoon on the Western side as the wind is a lot cleaner here and less prone to gusting. Speedboat transfers operate during the day at set times - however we managed to get across at most times of the day.
