This tailor-made kiteboarding journey covers up to 400 km along Brazil’s spectacular northeast coast, crossing the states of Ceará, Piauí, and Maranhão. Designed for adventurous riders who crave freedom, this trip combines epic downwind sessions with cultural immersion, remote nature, and personalized planning. Choose your own route, pace, and vibe — we’ll take care of the logistics so you can focus on the ride.
This isn’t a tour — it’s an expedition tailored to your crew. Our personalized kite safaris let you design your own downwinder along Brazil’s northeast coast, riding over 400 km through three stunning states: Ceará, Piauí, and Maranhão.
You’ll kite past deserted beaches, carve through empty lagoons, cross wild river mouths, and glide into remote fishing villages — all powered by steady wind and backed by 4×4 and boat support. Whether you want to go fast and far, stay longer in your favorite spots, or add rest days to soak in the vibe, we adapt the trip to your rhythm.
Ideal for small groups (min. 3 riders), every detail is handled by our experienced team so you can focus on riding, recharging, and reconnecting with nature. No logistics, no crowds — just the raw beauty of Brazil and the freedom to explore it your way.

Along the route, you’ll stay in handpicked pousadas that reflect the soul of Brazil’s northeast coast: welcoming, locally owned, and always close to the water. These aren’t just places to sleep, but part of the cultural journey: from barefoot luxury to laid-back surf vibes.
Breakfast is included daily, and we’ll do our best to accommodate dietary preferences. In the evenings, relax with your crew, enjoy fresh seafood and cold caipirinhas, and swap kite stories under the stars.
Your safety is our top priority. Each kite safari includes full 4×4 support and experienced local guides riding with the group. However, not all beach sections are drivable due to mangroves, rivers, or cliffs; during those moments, you’re free to hop in the car if needed.
We keep group sizes between 3 and 12 riders, with 1–2 guides in the water depending on group size. Our team monitors conditions closely, and if any stretch feels too advanced, riders can safely skip it by land.
Our goal is simple: maximize the adventure, without compromising on safety.
Bring well-maintained equipment, as repairs can be tricky in remote areas. Two boards and up to four kites per rider are fine. We highly recommend a spare bar, extra lines, repair kit, and replacement footstraps. We carry some tools and spare parts, but can't guarantee compatibility with every brand. Want to mix it up? Bring both twintip and waveboard if you ride both; you’ll have plenty of chances to switch it up. With water temps around 26–28°C, a wetsuit isn’t needed. We provide long-sleeve lycras. Booties are optional, but handy for beginners. Don’t forget your valve adapter if you use a non-standard kite system.
The Combo Safari is all about flexibility. For groups of three or more, we can adapt the journey to match your vision — whether that means extending your stay in Barra Grande, adding extra days in the Parnaíba Delta, or spending more time kiting the lagoons of Lençóis Maranhenses. You can also choose upgraded accommodations along the way to make the adventure as comfortable as it is wild. Experience the full northeast coast your way — personalized, seamless, and with full support from our expert team.

Another incredible trip with Freeride, surfing along Brazil's wild and windy coast... Garcia planned everything for us and the team (and the warm winds) did the rest. Thanks again, Garcia.

What an unforgettable adventure! The downwinder from Cumbuco to Jericoacoara was pure magic ... endless wind, stunning beaches, and a crew that took care of everything so we could just ride. Can’t wait for the next trip with Freeride.
