You are kiting safely and perhaps pull-off first tricks and would like to engage in an adventure? Or you have thought of doing a downwinder for a long time but lack from experience? Then our downwind camps are exactly what you are looking for! We are offering you professional instructions and the most beautiful downwinder you have ever experienced. For safety, tipps, and support our guide is accompanying you for the complete downwinder trip. This is how your downwind camp week could look like including breakfast and dinner:
| Day 1 | We a starting with planning the downwinder tours for the week according to your individual kite level by sorting out all questions which you may have. We are teaching you downwind riding techniques at the spot and you get final tipps and instructions from you kite coach. |
| Day 2 | The first little downwinder to the end of the Ilha do Guajiru lagoon allows you to show us your skills and to practice your downwind riding technique. Arriving in Guajiru you can proceed by shredding the flat-water and -if you like- by further improving your surfing technique with your kiting coach. Our transfer service brings us back to our Pousada. Those who still haven't had enough can also ride back upwind on the sea or in the lagoon. A common dinner closes our first downwinder day in a cosy atmosphere. |
| Day 3 | Let's get started: we are doing our first bigger downwinder starting in Almofala. After briefing our kite equipment is loaded in the shuttle arriving at the spot after approx. 25 min. We are launching from the sandy beach and surf through little waves along the fabulous palm beaches heading back to Ilha do Guajiru. Thereby we are gliding on the sea as well as on a parallel running river with amazing glassy water conditions. Arriving in the Pousada, our yummy - Crazy Kite - cocktail is already waiting for you |
| Day 4 | This day will astonish us with a longer downwinder with fantastic flat waters heading towards Acarau. After the easy-going downwinder tour we will strengthen us in a cosy Brazilian restaurant from where we and our kite stuff will be transported conveniently back to our Pousada at the Ilha do Guajiru. |
| Day 5 | Relaxing is the motto of today. We are seeking for new energy while chilling, sun-bathing, swimming, or - for those that can not get enough - kite surfing in the lagoon. During dinner at the local steakhouse we are planning our next day and final downwinder adventure. |
| Day 6 | Our final downwinder day will be a real challenge! After approx. 1 hour of shuttle time we head off from the bay of Icarai diving into the floods and riding our first waves. Passing Moitas and Patos we are kitesurfing along the coast and have a break at Almofala. Those that are still in good condition can take the way back to Ilha from day 3. The others can relax and are driven back to our Pousada, where we will enjoy a common dinner by recalling the week full of unique kite experiences. |
