____________________
Kalpitiya is a quiet fisher town with beautiful beaches & a perfect kitesurfing spot during the season (May-Oct & Dec-Mar).
Everything you need is within a 15 minutes walk (small supermarkets, vegetable shop, restaurants & cafes, etc.)
It’s the only kitesurfing spot in Sri Lanka. Me and my husband are both IKO kitesurf instructor and we are happy to teach our Workaways who want to learn kitesurfing with a discount. Please contact me for more details.
Kitesurfing is a physically demanding sport that requires strength, endurance, flexibility, and balance. It's a lifestyle that encourages a healthy body and mind, as it challenges both physical abilities and mental focus.
In short, the kitesurfing lifestyle is about pursuing freedom, adventure, fitness, and a strong sense of connection to nature and community.
Another passion of ours is sound & vibration and the effects of frequencies on the body and mind. Every week we’re holding sound healing group sessions with our big collection of ancient and modern instruments. Our Workawayer are welcome to join these sessions for free.
We need urgently helpers. Ideally you’d stay minimum of one week. Please get in touch for more information.
Cheers Anny
