Imagine kiting along more than 250 km of Brazil’s wild northeast coastline — 14 days of steady wind, turquoise water and endless downwind adventure. From wide-open beaches to hidden lagoons and tiny fishing villages, every day brings a new stretch of untouched paradise. This is the legendary downwinder from Taiba to Jericoacoara: a ride designed for those who dream of chasing the wind and living the journey, not just the destination.
With expert guides, full 4×4 support, and handpicked oceanfront pousadas waiting at the end of each day, all you need to think about is your next session.
14 days (13 kiting days + 1 transfer day)
~250–300 km of downwind adventure
Intermediate to Advanced
4x4 vehicle, boats, experienced guides & daily safety briefings
Local pousadas, 2+ nights at each stop
Remote beaches, fishing villages, consistent side-on winds & a mix of flatwater and waves
From First Launch to Final Sunset — 14 Days of Pure Flow
This isn’t a fixed route — it’s a living journey shaped by wind, tides, and rhythm. Over two unforgettable weeks, you’ll follow the coastline from Taiba to Jericoacoara, carving through rolling dunes, empty beaches, lagoons and fishing villages where time slows down.
Each day brings a new mood: buttery flatwater mornings, small wave sections to carve, long downwind lines with no one else in sight. You’ll ride side-by-side with our guides, with 4×4 and boat support tracking your every move along the beach.
As the sun sets, you’ll pull into a new village, rinse off the salt and relax in a handpicked pousada close to the beach — fresh seafood, hammocks, and the easy rhythm of life by the sea. By morning, the wind returns, and the journey continues.
This is the art of the downwind — a balance of movement, nature, and freedom that only Brazil can offer.

Passion, Precision & True Local Insight.
Our Taiba to Jericoacoara downwinder is led by one of the most experienced kitesurf crews in Brazil — riders who’ve spent countless seasons mastering this legendary stretch of coastline. They know the wind patterns, tides, and safe landing zones like the back of their hand.
Each group rides with in-water guides who keep the pace smooth and safe and supported by 4×4 vehicles following the beach. All guides are trained in kite rescue and communication protocols, and every day starts with a clear safety and wind briefing to set up for a confident session.
Off the water, our dedicated logistics team manages accommodation, meals and transfers, keeping the journey effortless from start to finish.
With Freeride Kitesurf, you’re not just covered — you’re supported by a team of true watermen and women who ride beside you, share your stoke and make every kilometer of the journey unforgettable.

Each stop along the journey offers carefully selected pousadas — locally owned, beachside accommodations that provide comfort, character, and easy access to the water. These places are more than just somewhere to sleep; they’re part of the cultural experience, offering a taste of Brazil’s coastal hospitality. Meals are rooted in regional flavors, with daily breakfast included, and dietary preferences catered for when possible. Evenings bring a relaxed, social vibe where kiters can unwind, share stories, and recharge for the next day’s downwind ride.
We’ve got you covered. Our guides are always out there with you, riding just like part of the crew, while the support boat follows along in case anyone needs a break or a quick gear swap. Radios keep us connected, and every route is chosen to match the vibe and skill level of the group — so you’ll feel challenged in the best way, but never out of your depth.
It’s all about keeping things fun and stress-free. Knowing someone’s watching your back lets you push a little harder, go for that extra-long ride, or just relax and enjoy the endless wind. Think of it as kiting with a team of friends who know the coastline inside out — adventure first, but always with peace of mind.
Bring gear that’s in great condition — repairs during the trip can be difficult. Two boards and up to four kites per person are welcome, and a backup bar or spare lines are smart additions. We also recommend checking footstraps and bringing replacements just in case. While we carry some repair items, compatibility with all brands isn't guaranteed.
You can switch boards or kites mid-journey, so feel free to bring a twin-tip, waveboard, or both. With water temperatures around 82°F (28°C), a wetsuit isn’t necessary. We’ll provide a long-sleeve lycra. Booties aren’t needed (for lower level riders they might be needed in some parts), but if your kite uses a non-standard valve, bring your adapter.
We offer fully customizable private kiteboarding adventures for groups of three or more. Whether you want to adjust the length of your stay, choose upgraded accommodations, or add specific stops along the route, our team will tailor the downwind kite safari to fit your vision. Experience the Classic Downwind kite trip your way — with flexibility, comfort, and full support.
