Florida Kiters Head to Brazil!
Kite Adventures would like to offer the Florida kiting community a custom 10-Day tour spanning 300 km of coastline in the northeast of Brazil. This trip would be reserved entirely for members of Florida kiting community, giving you guys the opportunity to kite together in the most amazing kite destination in the world. The wind in this region blows a steady 18-30 knots everyday from July through January.
We take you kiting, traveling most of the coast by beach, and downwinding many stretches with 4x4 or dune buggy support following along on the beach for safety. We begin the tour in Cumbuco, and over the next 10 days continue on to Paracuru, eventually arriving in Jericoacoara. Cumbuco is a hip little fishing village that's famous for the flat-water Cauipe lagoon. After 2 nights in Cumbuco, we downwind to Paracuru for the next 3 nights, which is the best spot for both flat water and waves. At low tide, the bay is protected by a reef so you can kite both flat water on the inside, and big breaking waves out on the reef. During our journey to Jericoacoara, we cross river mouths by raft, and doing downwinders along the way. Jericoacoara is a magical little oasis built on the sand in the middle of a national reserve, surrounded by massive sand dunes. All the streets are made of sand, and the only way to access the town by driving 12km along the beach, or driving up and over the dunes. We'll spend the next 4 nights here, and take you in dune buggies to kite during the day, enjoying some of the best downwinders in all of Brazil. When the tour is over, we return you to Cumbuco/Fortaleza.
We design our tours so it's the perfect combination of kiting, nightlife and as much Brazilian sun as you can handle! We help you maximize your kiting time in Brazil, taking full advantage of all the best the region has to offer, with a minimum amount of hassle. You literally just show up and kite, and we take care of the rest. We bring you to the best spots at the right time for the current wind and tide conditions, and facilitate guided, safety-supported downwinders that would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to arrange on your own. Most of our customers liken what we offer to heli-skiing.
At the end of the tour, some of our customers report that they think they kited nearly as much as they had in an entire season. Most report that their kiteboarding skills had improved substantially simply from having wind all the time, and the ability to kite as much as they wanted during the trip.

We’d like to get your opinion of kites you’d all be interested in demoing and/or if there’s someone in the region that would like to come down and handle the demo on the tour. That is something we can try to work on. Also, we don't personally offer instruction, but this may be a great opportunity to also include an instructor from your area to provide advanced instruction during the tour. If some or all of the group is interested, we'd be happy to help coordinate the logistics for the instructor, but how the tour cost and instructor would be compensated should be agreed upon directly between the instructor and the group. For example, in the past we've had the people interested in instruction cover all or part of the instructor's trip cost as compensation, but exactly how that's handled is entirely up to the group.
We average about 4-5 hours of kiting per day, but you can kite as little or as much as you like! Brazil is an amazing country with lots of delicious food, culture and of course nightlife.
Our trips typically start on Sunday and end on a Tuesday. You are welcome to shorten it to a 7-Day and come back on a Saturday. However, The 7-Day trips skip Jericoacoara, which most people who've come on our trips tell us they couldn't imagine missing.
