The seas are clean and clear, you get waves... but the scenery while kitesurfing, thats what blows you away.

The first wildlife sanctuary in world at Mihintale in Anuradhapura was was created by the King Devanam Piya Tissa following the arrival of Buddhism to the island from northern India. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Times, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;Throughout the history of the nation, all animals &amp;amp; plants in the sanctuaries of the island were left undisturbed in line of the basic right to life of all beings &amp;amp; conservation ethics of Buddhism, the taking of life being anathema to Buddhist beliefs. Records of the wildlife protection are found even in the great Sinhalese chronicle of Mahawamsa. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Times, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;Fast forward to present day Sri Lanka. Our leaders seem to have forgotten the rich heritage of our ancestors who took great steps to preserve flora and fauna. While I cycle on the road from Mount Lavinia to Battaramulla, I was shocked and almost in tears to see a sanctuary being bulldozed right in front of my eyes. In the background in the Parliment of Sri Lanka - where decisions are being made on the future of the this country. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Times, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;I observed how it seems that this last bit of natural forest in urban Sri Lanka is being cleared to build a road to the parliment. It is not like there is no road already. There is a 4 lane road with zero traffic congestion and there these people go build another road to attend to parliment meetings! &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Times, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;Dear Sirs, do you know know the value of environment in this day and age? Do you not know the urgency in ensuring that the last bit of wetlands need to be protected? Do you not know that the thousand of tourist who come here come not for gambling or cricket but for the natural beauty this country has to offer? This is our core competence, something that no other country can replicate - and yet we rape the forest and build roads through them! &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Times, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;If the Buddha was here today, he would be weeping.&amp;nbsp;Weeping because of the damage you are doing. Airport near National Parks? Roads through World Heritage Sites like Sinharaja? A pavillion and car park at Main Point in Arugam Bay? This is not the way forward. In fact these are huge steps in the opposite direction. Natural resources, once gone, is gone forever. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times, &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;, serif; mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;"&gt;The Buddha, Jesus and countless others lived in nature, they understood the value of it.

I looked into my favourite crytal clear creek to see the Giant Snakeheads (Lulas). The water was brown, they I presume all dead due to the road work that is going on.

Отчёт Ивана Пучкова - Our first Russian Post</title><content type="html">&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Увидев хороший ветропрогноз на Шри-ланке, я выложил его на facebook, а друзья попросили сделать отчет о запланированной поездке. Что же, билеты и снарежение на руках и я решил проведать эти места в декабре-январе.&lt;br /&gt;
.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Самолет приземлился околя десяти утра и едва миновав двери аэропорта, я оказался в тридцатиградусной жаре. Тут и там мелькают люди с зачехленными серф-досками, торопящиеся скорее добраться до океана. Ближайшие  кайт-споты находятся в Коломбо и в соседнем городе Негомбо. На городских пляжах можно увидеть парафойлы и пилотажки, однако в это время года ветер здесь бывает не часто, поэтому некоторые туристы выбираются на более отдаленные споты острова под прогноз, живя в Негомбо. Жизнь этого городка проходит на пляже и центральной улице, насыщенной разными лавками и ресторанами.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Первым делом я решил посетить спот Капалади (Kapalady, на windguru Kalpitiya), находящийся в 160 км к северу от Коломбо. Деревушка расположена на океане, между лагунами, в которых то и дело рыбачит и барахтается местная ребятня. Вдоль лагун стоят домишки, развещены сети и белье. Повсюду буйствует растительность, люди живут здесь так же, как и сто лет назад.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Full article can be found&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.kites.ru/%D1%88%D1%80%D0%B8-%D0%BB%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%BA%D0%B0-%D0%BE%D1%82%D1%87%D1%91%D1%82-%D0%B8%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B0-%D0%BF%D1%83%D1%87%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B0/" target="_blank"&gt;here!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Its also loads of fun. The competition can be stiff but its all done with a good spirit. Kitesurfers looking out for fellow Kitesurfers, having fun, giving tips - its amazing. &lt;br /&gt;

2012 might see Sri Lanka as one of the stops for this epic event. We need to find a Corporate Sponsor. Sri Lanka still does not know the potential of the sport. It can be bigger than the Surfing!&lt;br /&gt;

Boracay itself is well known for kiting. Sadly, however the native people of this island have been displaced and are seen on the roads begging for a living. This is the sad side of development and tourism. Pray that this would not be the case in Sri Lanka. Tourism and development must be sustainable and all communities benefited. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Tons of known faces, my own teacher - Mischi, there's also&amp;nbsp;Stephen from KTA, Stefan from my episodes in Hua Hin, Willy and Dorothy, Nicolos and tons more familiar faces. All been blown away by the wind, ok, expect for Willy who is injured thanks to the Kappalady Lagoon back home!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The first thing one would experience, coming from a kiting destination like Sri Lanka, are the amount of kiters! 100 or so for sure. The next thing is the small beach for launching, I didnt even know people can teach in conditions like that, Ha! Next windy day, kitesurfing lessons in Colombo &amp;amp; Mount Lavinia guys!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The location is however really nice. The water is cystal blue, flat and jump the reef and you have great waves to play on - something what we Lankans love. Mischi and I also did a cool Island Hopping sessions which was really nice. Thanks, Mischi. Dead tired today,&amp;nbsp;6 hours + of kiting and tomorrow I head back to the airport to collect my board that the airlines misplaced. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Something I love about Philippines - is their love for Pork! Mmmmm. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Will keep you posted. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Part 2&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Man, its tiring living in Boracay! People love to party, like party till 5 AM! And then they go Kitesurfing/ teach Kitesurfing. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Have some cool room mates - Bobo Corniel (Dominican Republic); Asian Champ; Yo (Thailand). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Finally got my Kiteboard, phew. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Finally met Kathrine, ah she lives just behind where I am! Lol. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
KTA Opening Night Party was cool. Lots of new faces, lots of people got to know about Sri Lanka. 2012 is the year for the place. The eventful day ended with Sukoy, Mischi and myself roaming to find some sweets - ice cream before heading back to our respective hotels. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tomorrow, Registration Day!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Part 3&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I love kite course racing. The best fun I had! The rush you get and the thrill of kiting in the midst of 60 kiters is crazy. I even had the full experience by getting caught into two crashes! Lol. End of the competition I was ranked 18th which I am very proud of! Not bad for a first time in competition. &lt;br /&gt;

For all those inquiring, yes we have winds this time of year (January to March) - 3 -4 days a week wind at around 15 knots average. We have also experienced winds on the South Coast of Sri Lanka. We presume that East Coast will be good as well. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fpZWem8KqWo/TthNjk13y6I/AAAAAAAABfE/Ne1cfmUfPHE/s1600/8972.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="130" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fpZWem8KqWo/TthNjk13y6I/AAAAAAAABfE/Ne1cfmUfPHE/s200/8972.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Kitesurfing is Great with Company!&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;The challenges of entrepreneurship can be physically tough—the long hours, stress and work travel can eventually take a toll on your health, unless you take steps to regain a work-life balance. For an entrepreneur or executive leading a growing company, keeping fit and taking breaks from work is a necessity: you have to plan for health and fitness in the same way you plan your career. This will help you to keep a fresh perspective on any problems your company encounters and, ultimately, to make better business decisions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I have just returned from an exhausting tour in which I visited five countries in less than a month. It started with a memorable week in New Zealand, moved on to Chile, Brazil and the U.K., and finished in India. And I have travelled extensively ever since I was helping to build Virgin Records into a global music business; now, with our new business development focused on emerging markets and many of our philanthropic initiatives based in Africa and Asia, it is unlikely that I will be able to slow the pace and extent of my business travel. Staying alert and being effective on such gruelling trips takes preparation.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;But for me, fitness is a hobby. At school, I was a very keen sportsman until a knee injury cut short my hopes of professional success. Unable to pursue my dreams, I threw myself into my early business career, but my passion for sport remained, and I have continued to play tennis, ski, sail and, more recently, to kite-surf.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I try to fit in at least one workout per day, and sometimes two, if I have the opportunity. Our home on Necker Island, in the British Virgin Islands, is a great place for me to keep up my swimming. Most mornings when I am there, I head off for a swim around the island—about three miles. It is the best way to clear the head (sometimes from the excesses of the night before!) and sets one up for the day. And after a long day of correspondence or calls, there is nothing better than setting off on my kite-surfboard—I soon feel refreshed and renewed.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Fitness goals aside, it is important to do something that helps you to achieve distance from the pressures of work. Many people who are faced with the increasing pressures of the modern, global and “always-on” business world struggle to stop working. By focusing on something else—in my case, on sports—you gain perspective on other areas of your life, helping you achieve that elusive work-life balance.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Many of my pastimes are ones that my family enjoys too, which has helped a great deal. There is no better way to forget the stresses of a poorly performing company or the frustrations of not closing a deal than kite-surfing with your children or going with them on a long ski through the mountains.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;During periods of travel, you have to plan for your exercise. In April 2010, when I signed up for the London Marathon, I faced the challenge of trying to fit the intensive training schedule into an already busy life. Together with a coach, I mapped out the training runs I needed to do and looked at my destinations to try to make them match up. It was great fun. As I circled the world, I found myself running in the parks of Sydney, along the beach in Barcelona, and through the bush at our Ulusaba Private Game Reserve in South Africa.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Luckily, my children Holly and Sam had also decided to run the race with a group of friends, so we often trained together on our family breaks.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Occasionally things don’t go according to plan. That same year, all three of us tried to kite-surf across the English Channel, but the weather prevented our attempt. In January, a ski accident caused me to snap an Achilles tendon, and I was unable to run, ski or kite-surf for more than six months. As a way of motivating myself to keep fit, I threw myself into training for the swim leg of the London Triathlon.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;At Virgin, I am famous for searching out challenges that will help us to push ourselves harder—and that includes physically. But making small changes can be even more helpful in the long run. Next time you settle down on a Sunday morning to answer that mountain of e-mail, think about whether you might be better off first going for a run, swim or bike ride, to refresh the body and the mind.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5315183536261588621-7962441798861189086?l=www.kitesurfingsrilanka.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
