Blueye Explores curates high-end, experience-driven journeys to some of the world's most iconic watersports destinations. For Brazil 2026, we're teaming up with the KiteNB crew to head to the Ceará coast of Northeast Brazil — a stretch of coastline known worldwide for its relentless, dependable wind and its string of world-class kiteboarding spots.

This is a point-to-point coastal adventure through three of the region's best kite destinations: Ilha Do Guajiru, Jericoacoara / Preá, and Tatajuba / Guriú. Each stop offers something distinct — vast flat-water lagoons, open-ocean downwinders, and steady cross-shore wind that lets you ride session after session. Guided by the Blueye team, every day is built around maximizing your time on the water while a dedicated support vehicle handles all the logistics in between.

The trip kicks off with a standout feature: dedicated Big Air coaching sessions with an International Pro and Champion to launch your week. Get expert eyes on your jumping early on — building confidence in strong wind and unlocking progression you'll carry through the rest of the trip.

Ceará is a place where kiteboarding and local culture meet effortlessly: warm hospitality, fresh coastal food, laid-back fishing villages, and some of the most consistent wind conditions on the planet. Our program is intentionally designed to remove friction — so you can focus entirely on riding, exploring, and recovering between sessions.

From reading wind and tides to dialing in your session flow across each unique spot, the combined Blueye and KiteNB team brings personalized guidance to help every rider make the most of this legendary coastline.

Blueye Explores Brazil 2026 — run jointly by the Blueye and KiteNB teams — is designed for experienced, self-sufficient kiteboarders looking to ride one of the world's premier wind destinations in a curated, small-group setting.

This trip is best suited for participants (adults only) who:

• Are confident, independent kiteboarders comfortable riding in a variety of conditions
• Can stay upwind reliably and self-rescue when needed
• Are comfortable managing their own equipment and making safe, independent decisions on the water
• Can handle both flat-water and open-coast / downwind riding

This is not a beginner trip or a learn-to-kite camp. Riders should already be independent on the water.

To maintain a high-quality experience both on and off the water, participation is strictly limited to a small group of 6 guests.

Dates

Wednesday, October 28 – Sunday, November 8, 2026 | 12 Days / 11 Nights

Your trip moves point-to-point along the Ceará coast, with multiple nights at each location to settle in and ride each spot properly. Each day is tailored to conditions, giving you the best possible riding across the trip.

Itinerary

• Ilha Do Guajiru — 3 nights
• Jericoacoara / Preá — 4 nights
• Tatajuba / Guriú — 4 nights

Airport transfers from Fortaleza (FOR) to the first location, and from the final location back to Fortaleza, are included.

Accommodation

Guests stay in comfortable waterfront pousadas at each location, selected for their proximity to the wind and relaxed coastal setting. Rooms are available in single or double occupancy.

Meals

Daily breakfast is included at each pousada, designed to fuel your time on the water. Lunches and dinners are not included — this leaves you free to explore the local food scene, and the Blueye team will share recommendations for the best local spots at each location.

(Note: dining options in the more remote stretches, particularly around Tatajuba/Guriú, are more limited than in Jeri — expect to eat mostly at your pousada and a handful of nearby spots in those areas.)

Photography & Videography

Professional photography and videography is captured on select days throughout the trip, where local photographers are available at various locations. Footage and photos are a great way to review your riding and capture the experience along the coast.

Coaching & Guidance

The Blueye and KiteNB teams jointly host this trip and offer every rider ad-hoc tips and guidance throughout. Both crews bring their own riding experience and coaching perspective to the group.
Additionally, the trip includes Big Air coaching sessions with a Brazilian International Big-Air Champion to help you progress your jumping and overall riding.

Logistics

Two dedicated air-conditioned 4x4 vehicles and drivers accompany the group for the entire trip — handling airport transfers, all movements between locations, and support during downwinders. This removes the friction of arranging transport in a logistically demanding region, so you can focus on riding.

Guests should book flights to Fortaleza (FOR). Arrival and departure timing guidance will be shared with confirmed participants but guests should aim to land 6pm no later than on October 28th.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the expected wind and weather conditions?
Late October to early November sits in the heart of the Ceará windy season, which runs roughly July to January and peaks for wind from September through November. You can expect strong, dependable cross-shore trade winds nearly every day — typically in the 20–35 knot range, with the northern spots (Jericoacoara, Preá, Tatajuba) blowing harder than spots closer to Fortaleza. The wind usually builds through late morning, holds steady into the afternoon, and stays rideable right up to a sunset session. The water and air are warm and tropical — no wetsuit needed; most riders are in boardshorts or a shorty.

Which airport should I fly into?
All guests should book flights to Fortaleza (FOR). Airport transfers to the first location are included. Specific connection and timing guidance will be shared with confirmed participants.

What skill level is required?
This trip is for independent intermediate-to-advanced kiteboarders. You should be able to stay upwind reliably, self-rescue, manage your own gear, and ride confidently in a range of conditions. It is not a beginner or instructional trip.

What kite sizes should I bring?
Given the consistently strong wind across these spots, most riders use smaller kites here than they might at home. Expect to ride mostly 5m–9m, with 7m–9m being the workhorses and a 5m–6m for the windiest afternoons at Preá and Tatajuba. Bringing a small quiver ensures you're always powered correctly as conditions build through the day.

What other gear should I bring?

• Twin-tip and/or directional board per your preference
• Harness & Leash
• Control Bar with newer lines
• No wetsuit needed — water is warm; boardshorts or a shorty are plenty
• Safety gear: helmet and impact vest recommended
• Repair kit, spare lines, pump, and backup hardware
  

What else should I pack?
Sun protection (sunscreen, lip balm, sunglasses, sun shirts, hats), swimwear, light casual clothing, comfortable shoes and sandals, and a personal first-aid kit. The climate is hot and tropical.

Is WiFi available?
WiFi is generally available at the pousadas. Check with your phone provider about international roaming before traveling.

What currency is used and should I bring cash?
The currency in Brazil is the Brazilian Real (BRL). Bring cash for gratuities, lunches, dinners, and incidentals. Card acceptance varies, especially in more remote villages, so carrying some cash is recommended.

Can I bring additional travel companions?
Additional companions are not permitted as participants without prior approval from Blueye. Only the number of guests paid for may participate in the program and accommodations.

What if I get sick or injured while traveling?
Blueye is not responsible for the health or medical care of participants. Travel insurance is strongly recommended to cover potential medical or travel disruptions.

Can dietary restrictions be accommodated?
Let Blueye know your dietary needs as early as possible so we can communicate them where relevant. Note that lunches and dinners are self-arranged.

What are the booking terms?

• Deposit ($500 Double / $750 Single) required at booking via the Trip Booking Page
• Second payment of $1000 due by August 31st 2026
