Enjoy your future downwinds to the fullest

Do you want to disconnect and spend some days at a place that is a true kite surfer's paradise? Do you want to be amazed by Brazil's Northeast coast while learning new kite surf skills and techniques that allow you to enjoy yourself on the water even more? Then read on.

Windspirit Kite Experience is a kite surf school located in Preá, just next to the famous Jericoacoara and about 4 hours from Ceará's capital, Fortaleza. The school provides kite surf lessons, downwinds, kite trips, equipment rental, storage, and any kind of service related to this amazing sport.

Joining one of Windspirit Kite's camps gives you the opportunity to improve your kite surf skills and learn new techniques to master any downwind trip with ease and peace of mind.

You'll have practical as well as theoretical lessons, led by the owner of the school and his experienced team. During this 5-day-experience, you will certainly notice your own progress, being able to go on a downwind of more than 35 kilometers along the coast.

As the local kite camp base, they chose the beautiful Villa Pinolo in Preá. This bright and tastefully decorated Pousada is located right in front of the beach and the kite spot. When you are not out in the ocean with your kite, you can relax by the pool and enjoy the tranquility of the place (or some caipirinha).

While Preá is the perfect place to relax and forget about the outside world, Jericoacoara, which is only 20 minutes away, offers a buzzing nightlife with amazing bars and restaurants. And of course, the stunning Jericoacoara National Park with its wide sand dunes and beautiful sunsets.

The clinic takes place at Preá Beach and their downwinds take place between Barrinha Beach and Guriú, passing through Jericoacoara and Mangue Seco. Their always start with short downwinds of about 7 kilometers and end the clinic with a downwind of about 35 kilometers. Everything is done calmly and progressively.

Preá Beach

In the recent years, Prea has become one of Brazil's most famous kite spots, being located just at the entrance of the vibrant town of Jericoacoara and its beautiful National Park.

It's a place where, if you want to, you can turn off your phone and disconnect from everything. The kite conditions in Prea are truly unique, it's the most reliable spot on the coast. Beaches are wide and mostly empty and you'll have a lot of space in the water to kite all day long.
