Downwinds and expeditions
Follow the wind down the coast
Guided one-day routes and multi-day crossings, with boat, buggy or 4x4 support and radio guidance the whole way.
A downwind isn't a sightseeing trip — it's assisted riding
You ride on your own, but never unsupported: a guide knows the route, the car or the boat follows by land or water and the radio stays open. The routes change with the day's wind direction and strength — which is why every run is decided on the spot, not sold as a fixed itinerary.
Routes and expeditions
Reference rates; the final route depends on the wind and is confirmed the day before.
