He is an easy going individual and an adventure addict. Born in Colombo, Sri Lanka he later migrated to the USA where he became an avid mountain climber, snowboarder, paragliding pilot and environmental conservationist. He is also a PADI Divemaster and IKO Instructor. Eventually he came back to Sri Lanka and moved to Kalpitiya to work as a diver and check out the budding kitesurfing scene.

He can best advise you on what’s happening above and below the highly active seas off Kalpitiya, being an instrumental founding member of Kalpitiya's first PADI dive center. He also has good knowledge of dolphin and whale activity and local fishing culture.

When it comes to Kiting as well, you can count on Keira for the best knowledge of the many kite spots in our area. In July 2016 he was part of a small group that was the first to kite downwind from Kalpitiya to Jaffna some 300km away. He made the journey in only his second season of kiting, and well now is a total downwind addict bringing his passion into the trips.

Kitesurfing has become one of my great passions, forms of expression and freedom. All my life I have been seeking adventure. Growing up in Sri Lanka I was privileged to spend time in some wild places. I spent the second half of my life in the United States, where I spent much of my time trekking through the mountains and wilderness, snowboarding, riding motor bikes and snowmobiles and even became a paragliding pilot.

I came to Kalpitiya initially in 2014 to work as a PADI Divemaster and set up a diving company. While I was cruising around on boats looking for new dive sites I met Chris and Mike who were doing a similar thing in looking for new kite spots. Our similar energy levels and passion for exploration were the makings for an immediate friendship. Soon they had me flying a kite and within a couple of month’s we were downwinding up to 60km daily along the wild and beautiful Puttalam Lagoon and Dutch and Portugal Bays.

Even before I started kiting with Mike and Chris they told me of their wild plan to kite from Kalpitiya to Jaffna, hundreds of kilometers away, and they said I’m coming with them. Sure enough about a year later we set off on that epic journey. Kiting along some of the wildest coastline in Sri Lanka, passing dense jungle and epic landscapes. Eventually I became an IKO instructor and started pushing the long distance missions.

Today our mission is our passion, which is using the amazing sport of kite surfing to adventure, be close to nature and experience some of the best spots there are to be ridden.
