Presented by Kite Adventures, Laurel Eastman and Ozone Travel:

From October 1-7, eight (8) girls will enjoy the best of northeast Brazil, kiting over 300km of beach in 4×4s from Fortaleza up to Jericoacoara, crossing river mouths by raft, stopping to kite in amazing lagoons, ocean coves and downwinding along the way. This tour is geared for women who are comfortable launching/landing their kites and for those who can go upwind.

“Putting together a girls-only tour is a great way to raise the confidence level of women riders while they get to experience the natural beauty and culture of Brazil. Kite Adventures is psyched to team up with Laurel because of her enthusiasm and excitement for the sport.” says Jessie Simon, co-owner of Kite Adventures.

“A downwind week in Brasil is an amazing opportunity to improve your kiting level in an intensive way; it’s like jamming a whole season of riding into a few short days. The varied conditions, strong wind and endless miles of beach are a perfect training ground.”, says Laurel Eastman, owner of LEK, Laurel Eastman Kiteboarding in Cabarete, the “voice of kiteboarding” for the Cabarete PKRA contests and the top ranked American female of the PKRA in 2004.

Adds Karen Beber Futernick, owner of Ozone Travel Kiteboarding, “I am really excited to be the exclusive agent, working with Kite Adventures and Laurel Eastman to promote this awesome trip! There are so many fantastic women involved in our sport – from the local rider to those in the industry - it is an absolute pleasure to highlight girls’ contribution to kiteboarding! Brazil is a special experience, quite unlike any place I have travelled, and I have no doubt that our “Hit Brazil and Ditch the Boys!” journey will be epic! Now with TAM- The Brazilian Airlines’ new direct service from Miami- Fortaleza, it is easier than ever to get to there! If you have the chance, don’t miss it!”

The tour is priced at US$1399, and includes return airport transfers from Fortaleza, high-end accommodations, breakfast daily, all transportation for you and your gear, an awesome guide and a selection of 2007 Best kites and gear, for your testing and riding pleasure!
