Take a look at their selection of routes and dates available in Brazil for 2019:
RIO GRANDE DO NORTE -> From São Miguel do Gostoso to Icapuí
11 days (10 days kiting + 1 day for transfers)
This downwinder starts in São Miguel do Gostoso, a charming small village which receives kiters and windsurfers from all around the world thanks to its strong, reliable wind and wave conditions. Apart from this spot, which is a well established destination along the northeastern Brazilian coast, the rest of the spots you’ll come across during this trip will not only blow your mind because of the variety of amazing wave and flat water spots, but also give you that incredible feeling of reaching and discovering for the first time. Although you may have heard of some of these spots from fellow kiting travellers, guaranteed most of them are still unknown to most. You´ll find yourself kiting immersed in complete nature, witnessing breathtaking landscapes along the way.
Dates:
November: From 18/11/2019 to 28/11/2019
January: From 10/01/2020 to 20/01/2020
