The north East of the Brazilian coast is an endless quest for kitespot discovery. From Fortaleza until Jericoacoara and after, hundreds of lagoons and wave spots become the perfect playground for us kiteboarders.
Most of the people coming in Brazil organize their holiday with 4 weel drive downwinders along the coast.

With Linn, I have been spending 2 months and a half in Cumbuco, one of my favorite kitespots in Ceara ( a region in Brazil). Cumbuco is a great place to meet people and train the latest freestyle moves.
But this year December haven't been as good as it should be, The wind was gone for a while, so we decided to head north and discover some new spots, new villages, different people.

After meeting Rob a duch kiteboarder and real estate developer we were very curious about this new place he has been pushing on internet and in some kite magazines, Ilha do Guajiru, the flat water sea. Asking around we got very different feedback from people some said that it was the best place ever, and some were not as entustiastic about it.

The only way to find out was to go there and find out the truth about Ilha do Guajiru.
In a small rental car we headed north on the new high way to Itarema, a city 4 kms away from the island.
Ilha do Guajiru used to be an island, but it is now linked to the land so you can access it easily by car. It is surrounded by very beautiful mangroves and a river.
After spendiing a few days on the island, kiting everyday while the wind was much lighter in the spots located in the south, we have been seduced byt the people and the place here.
We decided to stay here for a while to make my next movie .

At low tide the water gets very flat for freestyle.
