Margarita Kite School · Kalpitiya, Sri Lanka

The people behind
Margarita Kite School

Ten years on this lagoon. Founders who still teach, local instructors who know every shift in the wind, and coaches who came for a season and never quite left.

Co-founders

The people who started it all

Ruben and Eusebi founded Margarita in 2014. Both still teach most days. That says everything.

Ruben

Co-founder · Instructor · Wingfoil addict

Started Margarita in 2014 with Eusebi and he's still on the water most days. Left Barcelona for Kalpitiya and never looked back. Built this school from scratch with a simple idea — find the best lagoon to learn kite and share it with the world. Current obsession: wingfoil.
