COMING SOON…
Brazil kitesurf holiday, October 2022
Brazil is the Paradise for the kitesurfers. This year KitExpedition team will visit this amazing place for fourth time already. Here the wind blows 24/7, the air temperature is around 30 degrees and the water temperature is also around 27-30 degrees. The spots are supersafe with long and sandy beaches. The surrounding area is really special and exotic. The locals are very friendly people. Sunshine, happyness, samba & caipirinha will make your holiday unforgettable! 😊
This year we gonna take you to two or three different locations – depending on your needs: first we visit a huge lagoon, Ilha do Guajiru, which is a 4 km long, shallow and flatwater kite paradise. From here, you can go for a short trip to Jericoacoara, which is an authentical Brazilian village with a huge sand dune from where you have an amazing sunset view. Then the whole group go to Cumbuco, which is a small and charming fishing village, where we can kite in the open ocean or at nearby cool lagoon. We organize all the transports for you. During this kite expedition we will organize beginner and advanced kite courses as well. Even if you are a beginner or you want to improve your freestyle tricks, this camp is for you – independently to your riding level!
1st spot: Ilha do Guajiru lagoon
There are many flatwater lagoons in Brazil. Ilha do Guajiru is one of the biggest and most famous one. The lagoon is 4 km long and 400 meter wide. The beach is sandy all along, therefore it’s very safe also for beginners. The hotels are built directly on the kite beach, so you just step out from your room and you can pump your kite in the hotel garden. 😊 Sometimes the hotels organize parties, but basically this is a kind of quiet spot.
This lagoon – as most of the lagoons in Brazil – is tide dependent. During high tide you have planty of rooms to go crazy on the water, but at low tide your playground becomes much smaller. We go there in middle tide, so there will be enough water almost all day, so you can kite whenever you want! 😉 Here the wind blows stronger, then in Cumbuco, around 25-28 knots (it became stronger as you move further up to the north in Brazil).

Arriving to the first spot you can choose from two different accomodations, which are appr. a 100 meters from eachother. The first one is this charming pousada (this is how Brazilians call their hotels), with an infinity pool facing to the lagoon. They have a pool bar, where you can relax after a kite session. 😊 The bar is open all night long, where you can share your experiences after a long kitesurfing day. This pousada has kitchen as well, so you can enjoy everything at one place. However it worth to try the other restaurants nearby (no need for car).
