Kitesurfing is a sport that has been gaining fame in Brazil, especially since the beginning of the century. People from all over the world, and many professional athletes, have chosen the Brazilian Nordeste as a destination for this practice. This sport, which is acquiring enormous notoriety, and which will even become an Olympic sport in 2024, creates passions wherever it goes.
If you practice or want to learn this sport, if you love freedom, nature and look for the best wind, this article is for you!
It is the best destination in the world to practice kitesurfing
The Nordeste is a huge Brazilian region with more than three thousand kilometres of coastline. Although kitesurfing is possible in many areas, most of the spots are located between Fortaleza and São Luis, in the states of Ceará, Piauí, and Maranhão. Its location is simply privileged, close to the Equator line, which means that the water and air temperatures are always warm. Above all, what makes the Nordeste a great kite spot are its strong and constant winds, which come from the sea towards the land, providing maximum safety for kitesurfing.
You will find a wild and little explored nature!
The best example is the state of Maranhão, which has the largest number of islands off the coast of Brazil, the largest mangrove reserve, and the largest area of coastline with untouched nature. It is a state blessed with two of the best Brazilian natural beauties: the Delta do Parnaíba, the largest delta in the Americas, and the Lençóis Maranhenses National Park, an oasis filled with dunes and freshwater lagoons. Both with incredible spots for kitesurfing.
The Nordeste’s coast is the best place in the world to practice downwind
Thanks to its geographical and climatic conditions. Indeed, the side-onshore wind allows you to literally let yourself be carried by the wind along the entire coast, sailing from one village to another. Without a doubt, an unforgettable experience that you have to live at least once in your life. The practically deserted beaches, the crossing of deltas full of vegetation and the sensation of freedom, make this experience even more impressive.
The Nordeste is full of welcoming people
In addition to its natural riches, this region is famous for its friendly population, simple people who live to the rhythm of nature, but, at the same time, curious and eager to share what they know with anyone who shows a little interest. A strong and resistant population that has gone through intense phases over the years, from the time of colonization until today, a culture full of syncretism, colours and flavours.
