If you've ever been kitesurfing in Brazil, you know that the wind here blows at 15-30 knots every day from July to December.
Downwinders & Lagoon Trips
Brazil is well know as the country for the best kite downwinders. During your stay we gonna do 3 downwinders between 5-15km along the coast to other kite spots and flat water lagoons.
Progression Sessions at the Spot
Our home base will be in Icaraizinho, around 2,5h north from Fortaleza. The kite spot right next to the kite station offers you waves or flat water depending on the tide. Places with flat water and an excellent kicker wave for your freestyle tricks, what more do you need?
During the group progression sessions we will coach you to reach your personal kitesurf goals.
In the evening you kite into the sunset and afterwards treat yourself with a Açaii Bowl, fresh Coconut Water or Caipirinha directly at the bar at the spot.

For independent/advanced levels
The required level for this trip is independent rider. You must be able to ride upwind as well to relaunch your kite in deep water.
Downwinders
The downwinders are doable as well for kitesisters who never did a downwinder before. We're not in a rush here, it's not a race. We will take it easy and adjust the speed according to the group.
We take care of your safety. A buggy or 4×4 pick-up accompanies us on all kite trips. We are experienced kiters and able to help you on the water if there's an issue.
This trip is organized in collaboration with KITEFUN.
