Our “No Wind, No Pay” guarantee: Sri Lanka is famous for its reliable summer winds. But like any kite location, there are occasional quiet days. So, you don’t have to pay a deposit ahead of time, and you won’t be charged for a scheduled lesson if the wind doesn’t cooperate.

A trusted reputation, built on safety-driven instruction: Sethawadi Kite Centre is known for delivering comprehensive, high-standard training. We cover essential information that many other schools just gloss over for the sake of convenience and speed, with safety integrated into every step.

Led by Matt Kwantes, who brings 25 years of experience and a background in the ambulance service and offshore oil rig safety practices-- our focus is on efficient use of your time and helping you develop the right strategies for independence. Learn more about the lessons here.

A special bonus is our free Technical Sessions (classroom time) where we help you make the best use of your paid time at the beach and give you a firmer foundation of kite knowledge.

Before starting your kitesurf lessons, we will check first for swimming ability (you’re comfortable in deep water) and if you have any health or medical considerations which may affect your lesson (e.g. old injuries, blood sugar or heart issues etc)

-Round trip private taxi transfer: When you arrive, your driver will meet you in the airport holding a sign with your name.

We can easily tailor a package to your specific schedule and needs. Prices for the above package are:

Single Traveler : €975

Couple (shared room) : €765 each per couple, with shared accommodation.

Note: First four hours of kite instruction are Partner Lessons, then split up into private tuition for the remaining time.
