Kappalady Lagoon: Located north of Kalpitiya, this lagoon offers flat water and steady winds, ideal for beginners.
Negombo Lagoon: This vast expanse of shallow water offers gentle conditions and constant wind, ideal for beginners.
Bentota Beach: This south-western beach offers a safe environment for beginners with its relatively calm waters and steady wind.
Arugam Bay (off-season): Although primarily known for surfing, this bay can offer stable conditions for introductory wingfoiling during the off-season.

SPOTS FOR EXPERTS

Vella Island: Located near Kalpitiya, this island offers more challenging conditions for experienced riders, with strong winds and waves.
Mannar Island: This spot in the north-west of the island offers varied and sometimes demanding conditions for the more experienced, with powerful winds.

The main wingfoil season in Kalpitiya, for example, runs from May to October.
