Meet the team — passionate riders, real instructors
Two Spanish founders who left everything to build a kite school in paradise, plus a team of IKO-certified international instructors who teach in 5 languages. This is who you'll be riding with.
Margarita Kite School started with a simple idea: create the kind of kite school we always wished existed. One where the teaching is serious, the vibe is relaxed and the place feels like home — not a tourist operation. Ten years later, over 1,200 students certified and still going.
Eusebi
Born in Spain, obsessed with the wind. Eusebi has been teaching kitesurfing for over a decade and knows the Kalpitiya lagoon better than anyone. His coaching style is technical but calm — the kind of instructor who explains things twice without making you feel bad for asking.
Ruben
The other half of the Margarita story. Ruben handles everything from logistics to making sure every student leaves with a proper foundation — and a good memory of Sri Lanka. On the water he's as comfortable teaching beginners as he is shredding with advanced riders.
Two Spaniards, one lagoon, one dream
We came to Kalpitiya in 2014 because we'd heard about the lagoon. Flat water, steady wind, warm, no crowds — the kind of conditions you spend years looking for. We decided to stay and build something here.
What started as a small school has grown into a reference point for kitesurfing in Sri Lanka — Nº1 on Tripadvisor, recommended by Lonely Planet, over 1,200 students certified. But the thing we're most proud of is the atmosphere. People arrive as strangers and leave as part of something.
We're still here. Still teaching. Still riding every chance we get.
IKO-certified instructors from around the world
Every season we bring in certified instructors from different countries, which means we can teach in multiple languages and bring different coaching perspectives to the water.
