How the kitesurf school in Icaraizinho works

Cabana do Kite has been teaching kitesurfing in Icaraizinho de Amontada since 2007, right on the sand, and opened its beach club in 2010. Depending on the time of the season, the team has 8 to 10 IKO- and ABK-certified instructors. Kite lessons are private, one instructor for one student, or duo, one instructor for two students — never more —, always with radio support, in Portuguese, English, French and Spanish. The equipment comes from the school's own fleet: around 25 boards and 30 Duotone and Ozone kites, in several sizes. It takes around 12 hours of lessons to ride independently. For the full picture — season, Ceará spots, how to get here — see our kitesurf school in Brazil page.

The wind season runs from July to January, peaking from August to October. Prices are on request: send your level and your dates on WhatsApp and the school builds the programme, confirmed in writing.

A day at the school

Morning: kite lesson

Safety briefing on the sand, kite control, body drag and water start in the shallow lagoon or in the bay, depending on your level and the day's wind. The instructor follows on the radio throughout the session.

Midday: break at the Cabana

Lunch at the beach restaurant, daily specials and seafood, a few metres from the spot. The equipment stays in the storage, right in front of the spot.

Afternoon: wing foil or coaching

On trip days, it is time for the downwinders with 4x4 support.

The IKO levels at the school

Level 1 — Discovery

Safety, set-up, wind window, kite control on land and body drag: the first hours, on the sand and in shallow water.

Level 2 — Intermediate

Board recovery, water start and first rides in both directions, with constant feedback from the instructor.

Level 3 — Independent

Riding consistently, going upwind, heading out and back on your own. That independence opens the door to downwinders and coaching.

Safety at the school

Safety is the first item of every lesson. IKO and ABK certified instructors, radio on the water throughout the session, first hours in the shallow lagoon, vest and helmet included and equipment checked regularly.
