Transfer to Kitecenter Sri Lanka is either by public bus, which is very cheap - about 4 EUR and takes approximately 4hrs. Alternatively a private car of van can be arranged for you. It is more comfortable and much faster - approximately 2.5 hrs, cost is approximately 70 EUR per vehicle. So if a few people get together it is totally worth it.
