KiteSurfing
KiteSurf in Rio Grande do Norte (RN)
The northeast region of Brazil is becoming a must for kitesurfing since the best conditions for kiting and the beautiful extended wild beaches are combined.

Kiting in RN is becoming more and more popular and represents a fantastic show of colored kites for the natives. For a kitesurfer, the littoral offers very wild extended beaches and areas of palm trees still preserved on the cosatline.

The different orientations of the spots and the constance of the trade winds with a 20 knots average and a 30-35 knots peak around august, on both side of the littoral, allow to get the best conditions for kitesurfing safely all year through. In fact the wind forcing is so regular that reading such a wind stat report will bring you there straight away. Feeling such constant wind makes you forget looking at the palm trees on the beaches to see if it’s windy. So it is blowing all day on, from morning to evening, and strengthening at midday. At the end of each kitesurf sessions, don’t be surprised to see wonderful sunsets with caïpirinhas or agua de côco in hands!

Os spots in the state
The Spots are localized on magnificent sites, becoming more and more famous in Brazil and abroad and they benefit from excellent natural conditions: constant trade winds, warm and shallow waters, fantastic wild and extended beaches along the open sea or bays protected from the waves.

So these spots are perfect for learning and practicing kitesurfing in very safe conditions. Kiters will benefit from private and/or extensive training courses if needed and will be offered accommodations and training, mainly organized by professional Europeans kitesurfers, often frenchies since they fall in love easily with a brazilian (way of life!).
