Your kite level
This downwinder is not suitable for beginners.
Your kite level is intermediate to advanced.
You have experience in downwinding and have already done at least one long downwinder.
You must be able to kite safely downwind in waves and strong winds and relaunch your kite quickly out of the water. The downwinders can take 3-4 hours (with breaks), so a good basic level of fitness and reliable equipment are a prerequisite.
Day 1 – 28 km | Cumbuco – Paracuru
Our downwind adventure starts after the port in Pecem, a 20-minute drive north of Cumbuco. First of all, fantastic shallow water awaits us. From Taiba onwards, wave lovers get their money’s worth. Between the cleanly breaking waves, the water is as smooth as glass. After a short break in Taiba, we continue kiting to Paracuru. In Paracuru, one of the most popular kite spots in the region awaits us, the legendary flat water and wave spot at the same time.
Overnight stay: Guajiru
Day 2 – 32 km | Lagoinha – Mundaú/Baleia
Today we start in Lagoinha. Another great downwinder with lots of waves awaits us. The route takes you past breathtaking, palm-fringed beaches. After 17 km we reach Guajiru, where a delicious lunch awaits us. A spot made for wave lovers. After another downwinder to Mundau, we head back to Guajiru, where we spend another night.
Overnight stay: Guajirú
Day 3 – 36/56 km | Guajiru – Icaraí de Amontada
We start right in front of the pousada and continue with small, clean breaking waves and lots of flat water in between. Today’s destination is the small village of Moitas. Time has stood still here. With the cozy atmosphere, the good food and the cool caips, it’s hard to continue kiting the next day.
Overnight stay: Icaraí de Amontada
Day 4 – 33 km | Prea – Guriu
After about 2.5 hours by car, we reach Prea, where we start today’s downwinder. First we kite from Prea to Jericoacoara. In 1994, the renowned US newspaper, the Washington Post, voted the area one of the 10 most beautiful beaches on the planet. Jeri is a paradise on earth. It lies in the middle of sand dunes. All roads are made of sand. There is always something going on in the little alleyways and everything is built with a lot of love. In the evening, the whole village makes a pilgrimage to the large sand dune right next to the village to watch the sunset, which is by far one of the most beautiful in the world. Today’s downwinder ends in Guriu, a top kite spot a few kilometers north of Jericoacoara.
Overnight stay: Jericoacoara
Day 5 – 36 km | Jericoacoara – Camocim
My personal favorite downwinder. Past Guriu where we have perfect kite conditions. The water between the cleanly breaking waves is as smooth as glass. Then we come to the estuary, with shallow water in the river and beautiful, somewhat larger waves in the sea. Once we arrive in Tatajuba, we fortify ourselves for the rest of the journey to Camocim, where we spend the night.
Overnight stay: Camocim
Day 6 – 44 km | Camocim – Bitupitá
There is relatively shallow water and small waves all along the coast. Apart from a few fishermen, we don’t meet anyone on the way. At one point we cross a river with wonderful, mirror-smooth shallow water into which you can kite a little way. From Bitubita we continue by vehicle to Barra Grande, a kite paradise that is still an insider tip.
Overnight stay: Barra Grande
DAY 7 – CHECK OUT
The downwinder ends in Barra Grande.
