What is a Downwind?
A multi-day downwind in Brazil is the ultimate dream for many kitesurfers. Imagine simply entering the water and letting the wind carry you. Avoid crowded spots and enjoy kilometers of kiting in complete freedom.
Discover the best kitesurfing spots in Brazil and immerse yourself in preserved nature, with fine sandy beaches lined with majestic palm trees.
Discover isolated, wild, and pristine beaches accessible only by kite or by boat. Ride through diverse flora and fauna, far from civilization, and kite alongside turtles and dolphins.
Our team will accompany you on the water and along the beach with 4×4 support vehicles. Thanks to varied and exceptional riding conditions, every kitesurfer will find their perfect session. Enjoy dream spots ranging from mirror-flat waters to perfect waves, all with ideal wind conditions and endless open space.

What About Safety on the Water ?
To ensure your safety on the water, we take strict measures so your experience remains completely worry-free.
Each morning after breakfast, a detailed briefing is held on the day’s route, highlighting key features and any potential hazards such as reefs.
Our group will be accompanied by several guides on the water, while 4×4 support vehicles on the beach remain in radio contact with them. We want you to fully enjoy your downwind without worrying about anything other than kitesurfing. We take care of everything else!
What level is required for a downwind ?
First of all, it is important to note that a downwind is not suitable for absolute beginners! You must have prior kitesurfing experience in open sea conditions and small waves. Depending on the spot and conditions, waves in northeastern Brazil can range from 50 cm to 2.5 m in height.
You must be able to relaunch your kite, master upwind body dragging, and be comfortable with self-rescue techniques. As we will complete 4 downwinds of 20 to 30 km each, a good basic level of fitness is essential.
Of course, participants can join the support vehicle at any time if they wish. If you ride regular (left foot forward), you will need to be comfortable riding switch or toeside, as the wind mainly comes from the sea at a side-onshore angle.
