Kitesurfing in Brazil: the perfect winter getaway
There are countless of kitespots in Europe, but when it simply gets too cold, one has to look for alternatives outside Europe. How about brazil?
As soon as the weather in Germany reaches temperatures below zero, you should start planning your next trip to Brazil, for example to the small fisher village Barra Nova. A popular weekend getaway of the locals. Shallow water and flat water spots welcome you right in front of your accommodation. Depending on the sea level you will find enough spots for ideal freestyle conditions. The ocean is brilliant for a quick dip in turquoise-tinted, bathtub warm water – clear of mussels and stones. The wind safety reaches its maximum from September to December.
Insider tips:
- You definitely need to taste the fresh coconut juice in between your kite sessions
- In order to make to best of your kite experience (tides & streaming) take advantage of a spot briefing. It is also important to be aware of the fishing boats and its anchors
- In case of doubt, rather take a bigger kite, since the pressure in the canopy drops with the heat
