Niels, to live or holidays?
He is asking for his kite holiday, for which Ilha seems to suit his requirements quite nicely, not for living.

And yes I do live here and I enjoy it....but I am weird :thumb:

Re: Long shot - Trip to Brazil

Hi Ivan,
If you are interested to learn more I'd be happy to supply you with information.
I will be a bit biased towards Ilha do Guajiru, seeing I think it is one of the best spots in the world to kite and live there too


Cheers,
Niels

Re: Red Bull King of the Air (KOTA) 2023 Mega Thread

Hy guys ! I read undeserved bias towards Lorenzo after his last YT video. He dominated the Kota in his first participation at such a young age, something no one else had done before in kite history and imo he also clearly deserved the Kota 2023. The whole socials also sees it this way , e.g the com...

Re: Who is wrong?

so you don't think it is important to look upwind? Ok, just keep looking downwind. And I really hope for you, you won't wake up one day in hospital and are paralyzed...because someone jumped into you. Then you will say for the rest of your life: why didn't I look upwind? It's my (almost) daily kite...

Re: Who is wrong?

Havre: You always have to know what’s going on upwind, because upwind will hurt YOU ! So out if your interest always do it. Very important to do it in areas with more riders. It’s my daily routine in the lagoon, and saved my from several injuries. Surely the jumper has to see the situation and assu...

Re: Would you give any advice for kiteboarding with C-style kites?

One benefit of an older c kite is that it teaches the lost art of having to edge the board very hard to get the kite forward in the window to get upwind or depower the kite. It's hard to explain how different flying those kites were back in the early 2000's. Imagine not being able to hang out on th...

Re: Nobile Check-in bag - problems at the airport

What you mean by "it was supposed to work flawlessly". It is a bag that is within the size of check-in luggage used by most airlines. It says big on the bag "kiteboarding" so obviously people are going to be suspicious and ask if it is sport equipment. There are airlines that don't make a differenc...
