Kiteboarding Brazil -the flat water
everyone dreams of...

Kiteboarding Brazil on the North East side of this huge country, is a fabulous kiting destination for kiteboarders all over the world. And one which has become very popular for kiters who want to push their limits pulling bigger and more powerful moves. One of the best things about traveling to Brazil is the huge range of places you can visit and spots you can kite.

The best and most well known kiteboarding areas of North East Brazil are: Cumbuco, Lagoa Cauipe (Lagoon) and Lagoa (Taiba) lagoon, and Paracuru.

Best Wind: May to February
Wind Conditions: 15-35 knot North Easterly winds - Cross onshore
Water type: Beautiful flat water lagoons, waves and long down winders
Water Temp:Boardshorts and bikinis
Nearest City: Fortaleza


This is the well filmed and photographed Lagoa do Cauipe about 8kms south of Cumbuco. The home of many a pro and beginner kiteboarder for many months of the year.

Some areas can get a little crowded at times but are definitely worth the visit. The winds are amazingly smooth, and with over 400kms of wind and wave beaches this is a kitesurfers surfari and downwinder delight! The wind does blow hard here so bring your smallest kites is very good advice - a 6m -7.5m.

Nearby kiteboarding locations:
Barra/Lagoa do Cauipe, a flat water lagoon downwind south from Cumbuco.
Lagoa do Taiba - another idyllic flat water lagoon which is a little less crowded than Cauipe.The towns of Paracuru and Prea are also great kiteboarding locations.

Additional Info for Kiteboarding Brazil:
With the wild Amazon nearby - this is also a mecca for wildlife Enthusiasts and bird watchers.The temperature is perfect and warm all year in and out the water.

Car Rental is cheap, but there are also the options of 4x4's and beach buggys - depending on how much beach driving you want to do, you might want to consider one of the latter options.
A word of warning - car rental companies have been known to charge you credit card after the rental has finished you may no longer even be in the country - check you banking statements and be ready to cancel the card if neccessary.




The map gives a perspective of distances,with Fortaleza to the south and Paracuru in the north. This strip of coast is the location of some very fine spots for kiteboarding Brazil. The small town of Cumbuco is situated almost exactly half-way between Fortaleza and Paracuru.

Prea another notable kiteboarding spot in Brazil is about 350 km Northwest of Fortaleza.
