Kiteboarding Travel Guide: Jericoacoara, Brazil

Kiteboarding Travel Guide: Jericoacoara, Brazil

On Brazil’s endless coast, there are more kite beaches than one could count. But we went in search of a beach with that perfect combination of ripping wind, a vibrant community, and breathtaking sunsets. We couldn't quite settle on a favorite, so in this edition we're covering the kiteboarding beaches of Prea and Jericoacoara

Last time, we covered the Brazil downwinder experience with Surfin Sem Fim. After exploring 200km of Brazil’s northeast coast on a big downwind adventure, we needed to park our kite bags in one spot for a while! So we settled into a beachfront bungalow at Rancho do Peixe where we could have some kite sessions right out front on the ocean or take a short buggy ride to that famous Brazil flatwater.

A kiteboarding trip to Brazil is one that will be etched in your memory forever. You may find yourself planning your next trip back as soon as possible!

One of the best spots and no one talks about them... come one guys, at least 20knots from July to December and 50kms downwind with car support; what are you waiting for?

My brother in-law and I were thinking of going to Taibia! Looking for waves, we are experienced but intermediate kiters. Any advice on where to stay or better locations. I plan on going for closer to three weeks so kiting in more than one spot is an option.

For a first time and looking for waves I would not start in Taiba, the shore break can be quite something.

Unless you like to travel several hours plan on doing a few spots between Pecem and Emboaca. Some may think differently but would suggest you start north and move south. Start Emboaca try the 6-7 spots going back towards Fortaleza. You will have easy waves in the first few spots and probably a bit less people.

Paracuru has the best and easiest wave.

Taiba is a bit more challenging. Embuaca smaller but clean and few people if any.

Travelling this weekend. I'm not by myself, but I'm the only kiter so would prefer not having to rent a buggy alone. Any places, schools etc. that cater for solo travelers to the spots?

Arriving late on Saturday so would be nice to have some idea so I don't waste Sunday trying to figure out how to get transport.

Good question. Somewhere in the center of Jeri.

Sorted itself out in the end. So few tourist kiters around made it a bit difficult, but always a school going somewhere I could join. A bit surprised how unorganised it is and if you can´t find a school or someone you risk having to pay close to USD50 for a private buggy every day to kite - which seems a bit too much.

Amazing place though. Probably the coolest place I have ever visited. Everything from the kiting, scenery and people.
