Kite Caribe

Destinations

Choose by the wind, the water and the season

Every beach has a different pattern: flat lagoon to learn, sea with waves to progress, dune and river for those already riding. See what to expect from each.

Kite Caribe covers the coast of Ceará, Rio Grande do Norte and Maranhão, plus a season in the Caribbean. In every destination we work with the local certified school — what changes between them is the type of water, the wind strength and the level each spot demands.
