20–30 knots (95% probability)
Side-onshore to side-shore, steady and reliable
Air 30–38°C / Water 28°C
Bring 2 kites (small & medium), 2 bars, and a surfboard (strapless recommended, straps optional). Extra fins, a spare leash, and strong sun protection are highly recommended.
Men – 7m & 9m; Women – 5m & 8m (depending on weight)
Throughout the journey from Taíba to Icaraizinho, you’ll stay in carefully selected pousadas that blend comfort with authentic Brazilian charm. These locally owned guesthouses are close to the beach, kite-friendly, and offer a relaxing space to recharge between sessions.
Daily buffet breakfast is included, and we’ll accommodate dietary preferences whenever possible. After long days of kiting and coaching, enjoy local cuisine, fresh seafood, and laid-back dinners with the group; cold caipirinhas optional but highly encouraged.
Wave riding is thrilling, and safety is key. That’s why this trip includes in-water coaching from pro rider Mario Benvenutti Neto, plus full 4×4 beach support (as far as terrain allows).
Not every stretch is driveable due to cliffs, rivers, or mangroves, but support vehicles are always nearby when possible. Groups stay small (max 10 riders), with 1–2 coaches and guides ensuring everyone rides safely and progresses confidently.
If conditions become too advanced, you can opt to ride in the vehicle for that section; no pressure, just smart adventure.
Bring your best wave setup and some backups, as repairs in remote areas can be difficult. Ideally, pack two kites — around 7m and 9m for men or 5m and 8m for women — along with one or two surfboards or directionals, with a twintip as an option for rest days. A spare bar, extra lines, a repair kit, and replacement fins or footstraps are smart to have, and don’t forget a valve adapter if your kite uses a non-standard system. With water temperatures at 27–28°C, a wetsuit isn’t necessary; we’ll provide a Freeride Kitesurf lycra and cap for sun protection. Booties are optional but can be useful at some rocky entries. Strong sun protection is essential, so bring polarized sunglasses, zinc, and a long-sleeve rashguard to handle the Brazilian sun.

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.
Highly recommended, they organized an amazing kite trip for us. The whole team is fantastic, from the guides to the photographer, Garcia... an amazing team!!! We will definitely be back.
Hands down the best kite trip I’ve done. Endless wind, wild nature, great people, and zero stress thanks to the guides and support crew.
