Why is Ceará a Kitesurfing Paradise?
Long wind season: From July to January, Ceará offers steady winds between 18 and 30 knots, almost every day. It’s the perfect recipe for riders looking for uninterrupted action!
Warm weather year-round: Forget the wetsuit! In Ceará, the constant warmth allows you to enjoy kitesurfing in boardshorts, lycra, and sunscreen—a much lighter and more comfortable experience.
Warm waters and breathtaking landscapes: Imagine gliding over crystal-clear waters, surrounded by dunes, lagoons, and deserted beaches. Not to mention the unforgettable sunsets that turn every session into a magical experience.
Legendary downwinds: Ceará is famous for its downwind routes that pass through fishing villages, rivers, and cliffs. It’s a unique opportunity to connect with nature and explore the coastline in an exciting and authentic way.
Welcoming community: In addition to perfect winds, Ceará stands out for its passionate community. Schools, guesthouses, and experienced instructors, all with a great love for kitesurfing and the region, make your experience even more special.
