This 10-day wave-focused kite safari takes you along Brazil’s northeast coast from Taiba to Icaraizinho — one of the best wave riding regions in the country.
Guided by one of our pro-wave coach riders, you’ll ride side-shore winds, carve endless waves, and refine your surf skills through personalized coaching, video analysis and theory sessions. It’s the perfect mix of progression, adventure, and downwind exploration.
Every detail is taken care of: comfortable accommodations, full kite support, coaching, transfers, and more. All you need to do is ride, learn, and have fun.
10 days (9 kiting days + 1 transfer day)
~120 km of downwind wave exploration
Intermediate to Advanced
In-water coaching + 4×4 vehicle support along the route
Handpicked pousadas in Taiba, Paracuru, Guajirú, and Icaraizinho — beachside or close to it, authentic and comfortable
Daily in-water coaching — improve carvings, cutbacks, and snapbacks
Ten Days of Wind, Waves & Skill Progression
This isn’t just a downwinder — it’s a full-immersion coaching journey. Over ten days, you’ll follow the coast from Taiba to Icaraizinho, riding perfect side-shore wind, carving clean waves and learning from every session.
Each day is carefully planned to balance progression and exploration. Mornings often start with focused drills, technique tips, or theory sessions led by our wave rider coach. Afternoons are pure flow — long downwinds through rolling surf and golden beaches, with the coach and the Freeride Kitesurf crew guiding you in the water and capturing footage for evening video reviews.
You’ll explore classic wave spots like Taiba, Paracuru and Guajirú, finishing in Icaraizinho, one of Brazil’s most iconic surf-kite bays. By the end of the trip, you’ll have refined your turns, improved timing, and gained the confidence to ride with more style and control — wherever the wind takes you next.
This is wave coaching the Freeride way: real adventure, real progress and the pure joy of riding Brazil’s endless coastline.

Pro Guidance. Local Support. Real Progress.
Our coaches, have either been pro-riders in the past or have a vast experience in coaching riders of all levels, but one characteristic is always a must — they are passionate watermen with years of professional experience in both freestyle and wave disciplines. Their approach blends technical precision with the relaxed energy that makes learning fun.
Alongside our coaches, the Freeride Kitesurf support team keeps every session safe and seamless. An in-water guide rides with the group, backed by 4×4 drivers following the coastline and providing water, fruits, gear and transfers. Radios keep everyone connected and small group sizes ensure every rider gets personal feedback.
From reading the waves and mastering timing to understanding Brazil’s unique wind patterns, you’ll gain insights that transform your riding long after the trip ends.
With Freerid eKitesurf, you’re not just joining a camp — you’re learning from pro coaches, supported by locals and surrounded by riders who share your passion for wind, riding, and growth.

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 coach and wave rider, 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.
We offer fully customizable wave riding coaching trips for groups of three or more. You can extend your stay at your favorite wave spots, upgrade to premium accommodations, or add extra downwind sessions along the coast. Our team, together with coach Mário Benvenutti Neto, will adapt the program to your level and goals, making sure your trip blends progression, comfort, and adventure. Experience the wave coaching journey your way — flexible, personalized, and with full support.

Just finished an epic trip with Freeridekitesurf- the classic downwinder. Great kiting, great people, super well organized. The guides were amazing (thank you Jo!). Because of the guides local knowledge, we hit the best spots at the best time, taking all the guess work out of the trip. I also really liked the pace - two nights in each poussada slows the pace and allows you to enjoy more of the spots. I look forward to another trip with Garcia & his team!
My two adult kids and I just finished an absolutely amazing 7 day downwinder on the wild and beautiful coast of Brazil with Free Ride Kite Surfing. Mateus (our guide) and George (our driver) were a fantastic team: kind, friendly, competent, with great local knowledge and just the right balance of helping us when we needed it without being intrusive. Garcia and his team are totally trustworthy and I could not recommend them more highly.
My first experience of an organised downwinder in Brazil. Fantastic experience only possible due to the amazing people and organisation for the Trip. Bruno and his crew went over and above dealing with our every needs. We litterally had to turn up and kite in the most amazing spots I have ever visited. Highly recommended and we will definitely be back.
Another awesome trip with Freeride, surfing up the wild and windy coast of Brasil…Garcia planned it all for us and the team (and warm winds) did the rest. Thanks again Garcia
From the pick up at the airport to the end we had a blast! Best kiting adventure ever. Thanks to Garcia and Raphael our guides on the water, our photographer Karina, our three drivers ( special mention to Igor) plus our amazing pousadas our all trip was a dream come true. The downwinders gave us the opportunity to discover so many different places. Merci Freeride Kitesurf
Great trip to Brazil (wild north trip) I was looking to discover long downwinds in Brazil, while discovering this region, taking full advantage of the ideal sailing conditions in a friendly state of mind. I chose Garcia's team that I discovered on the web. Good choice, it was better than what I had imagined, a fantastic vacation that I won't soon forget. I recommend!!!
