We recommend kite sizes in between: 7-10 (this is according to the weight of the sailor and the wind intensity). Ideally bring 2 different sized kites and 2 boards. Downwind with surfboard with Strap is always the better option, but twin tip will be a lot of fun too. You can also bring: replacement fins, bars, and lines which are warmly welcome. Camelback backpack is extremely important as well. It’s good to bring 1 suitcase for clothes, 02 kites, 02 boards (twin -tip and surfboard). Also sunscreen, long sleeve lycra, cap, sunglasses, and your GoPro

The Captain is responsible for the group as a whole (outside of and inside the water). He is the reference point and decides on the days of the program, coordinates the briefings, kites in front of group, and has the final say on necessary decisions. He makes the Kiting related decisions in general. The Co- Pilot is our native guide that kites behind the group, and who will be monitoring safety and taking care of the group. The professional athlete is chosen to be a supportive guide, and will in addition coach the participants who will evolve throughout the downwind.

We stay at beachfront hotels that are chosen for their comfort and good service. We always anticipate double rooms, but there are times when the hotels are full and you will then be divided between groups of three people. Here is a list of hotels here we will be staying: Cumbuco – Windtown/ Taiba – Vila Marola/ Guajirú – Vila Vagalume/ Icaraízinho – Villa Mango/ Arpoeiras – pousada Canoas/ Preá & Jeri Rancho do Peixe & Vila Kalango/ Camocim – Bangalô São José/ Barra Grande – BGK/ Coqueiros – Vila Itaqui/ Ilha dos Poldros – Delta/ Tutóia – Jagatá/ Atins – Oceano Atins. Please feel free to look them up and have an idea of where we will be staying. If there is availability, you can enjoy the hotels before or after our trip. For those enrolled in the SSF, we can offer extra days with a 10 % discount for stays at the charming hotels of Rancho do Peixe and Vila Kalango.

This a 4x4 vehicle that accompanies each route, and transports our luggage. It follows each group along the beach, with food and drinks throughout the whole journey. In some areas the car will not be able to follow the group because of landscape conditions.

The transfer prices are not included in our package. The transfer from the airport to Taiba takes about 45 minutes, and costs around R$250.00. It takes about 4 hours to get from Fortaleza to Preá, and costs about R$650.00, which can be divided by up to 4 people. Closer to the date of your arrival, we can organize all the transfers for you and help to find ways to divide the costs with other clients. The transfer from Lençóis to Jericoacoara takes 6 hours, and to Fortaleza up to 9 hours. Another option is Fretcar: www.fretcar.com.br. They have busses from the Fortaleza airport to Cumbuco, Preá, and Jeri at lower costs. On the routes that end in Maranhão (Atins), we recommend taking a flight from São Luis for your return. The transfer from Atins to São Luis takes about 5 hours and costs around R$850.00. This includes 1.5hr of boat transfer along the Rio Preguica river, which is amazing. Then you take a car transfer from Barreirinha to the airport, which takes about 3.5hrs and can be divided by up to 6 people. It’s worth extending your adventure a few days in Atins, where you can discover one of the worlds wonders: The Lençóis Maranhenses.

Check out our E-group hotel partners, who are conveniently located in awesome, smaller downwind locations. There you can practice and prepare for longer Surfin Sem Fim routes. Learn more on their website: www.egroup.net.br

This gives our staff the opportunity to see and analyze your kiting abilities, making sure you are capable of completing the route.

It all depends on how many times per year you’ve been kiting and what you’ve learned. For the beginner, we do not recommend long trips, because they can be quite rigorous. There are various sections along the Brazilian coast that are very long, and required a certain level of skill and fitness. We can highly recommend our Light Jeri route for beginners and those who want to practice for the longer routes. It’s shorter and you travel less kilometers per day.

You can check the levels for each route on the website. You need to be comfortable practicing the sport and handling the equipment for long periods of time. You can form your own group and booking dates to kite with your friends. The minimum is 4 people and maximum 10 people. Check availability by email.
