Why book with Kite Caribe
One agency, many schools — the right wind on every beach
Instead of running a single spot, we work with the certified schools in each region. If the wind shifts, you change spots on the same booking.
Certified schools
All lessons are taught by schools with certified instructors (IKO) and checked safety gear.
Reading the real wind
Every destination has its own pattern: strong trade winds from August to December, thermal wind in the Caribbean. We match the date to your level.
Logistics sorted
Transfers between destinations, gear storage and beach support are handled by the region's partner school.
Service in 6 languages
You can speak Portuguese, English, Spanish, French, German or Italian — from the first message to the rescue at sea.
Where it blows
Nine destinations, from Ceará to the Caribbean
From the flat water of Ceará's lagoons to the waves of Pipa and the dunes of the Lençóis. Choose your destination by the water, the season and your level.
Ceará · Brazil
Cumbuco
The lagoon that teaches and the sea that challenges
A kite village 30 km from Fortaleza, with a flat-water lagoon and open sea side by side. The most complete starting point in Ceará for beginners or for anyone who wants many consecutive days of wind.
Open destination
Ceará · Brazil
Taíba
Fishing village, strong wind and few people
A quieter, less touristy beach than Cumbuco, with strong wind and a sea that mixes flat water near the sand with waves further out. Good for anyone who wants to progress without the crowds of the famous spots.
Open destination
Ceará · Brazil
Jericoacoara
The village with no asphalt, and the sunset dune
The most famous village on the Ceará coast: sand streets, the sunset dune and freshwater lagoons ringed by dunes. Strong wind and a setting that has become the postcard of kitesurfing in Brazil.
Open destination
Rio Grande do Norte · Brazil
Pipa
Cliffs, dolphins and waves
A beach of colourful cliffs and a sea with waves, surrounded by a lively village of restaurants and inns. A destination for those already riding who want real waves, with nightlife a few steps from the sand.
Open destination
Maranhão · Brazil
Atins and Lençóis Maranhenses
Dunes, lagoons and the Preguiças river
Atins is the coastal gateway to the Lençóis Maranhenses: white dunes, freshwater lagoons and the Preguiças river. Strong wind on the coast and flat water on the river — a destination for those already riding who want otherworldly scenery.
Open destination
Caribbean · International
Cabarete, Caribbean
Thermal wind in the northern hemisphere winter
Our season outside Brazil, in Cabarete (Dominican Republic): side-shore thermal wind that starts late in the morning, warm water and a full setup of schools and inns right on the sand.
