Kiteboarding Instructor, Kalpitiya Lagoon by Son of the Morning Light on 500px.com
A kitesurfing instructor, at the Kalpitiya Lagoon, on the west coast of Sri Lanka. Many of the instructors sport heavy protection against the harsh sun and sand. Shot on assignment for Serendib, the inflight magazine of Sri Lankan Airlines. My photostory on kiteboarding at Kalpitiya, “Wind Riders“, ran in the September 2017 issue.

Kiteboarding Instructor, Kalpitiya Lagoon #2 by Son of the Morning Light on 500px.com
The winds ripping across the narrow spit between the Indian Ocean and the lagoon create a maelstrom of salt and sand that makes it feel like one is in the desert. Shot on assignment for Serendib magazine. My story on kiteboarding in Kalpitiya, ‘Wind Riders, appears in the September 2017 issue.
