It's hard to really explain what traveling to and kiting in the northeast of Brazil is really like for those who haven't already been there.

Thanks to the guys at ETIK Entertainment (film & editing) and Goody Gaudard (rider) we have a an awesome video to show you that really captures the feel. All of the filming was shot within 15km of our Brazil tour's second stop, Paracuru and Taiba.

First Race May 10, 2007

Couldn't ask for a more perfect day with winds from 18-24 knots. Good times had by all, even a few tangles to keep it all interesting! Big thanks to Byron for working the 2nd wave runner.


See you on the 24th!

I'd like to ask everyone to meet at 4:20pm in the parking lot of the lower launch so we can go over paperwork and payment there since it's too crazy on the beach with the wind blowing.

Venezuela's islands are notorious for their beauty and crystal blue Carribean water. Lucky for us, they also has some of the most consistent wind (15-25 knots) on the planet from December through May.

Our 7- Day tours begin after the airport pick up in Caracas, we fly to Margarita Island where the fun begins. Our first stop is El Yaque where you'll relax and kite the day away. Wind ranges from 15-20 knots in Margarita. After 2 days in Yaque, we'll downwind 30 min. to El Coche (the famous stop on the PKRA circuit) with boat support. Coche is a flat water paradise. Many pros frequent the spot and it's nothing short of beautiful.

If you're staying for 10-Days (this should be mandatory), you won't want to miss the next island chain of Los Roques. During the course of 4 days, you'll kite (upwind and downwind) to several different islands and experience the true beauty of this region. It's rare to see another kiter on your exploration, that's what makes Los Roques a true gem.

We are working on dates for this season
