In Jericoacoara you step from sun-baked sand into a landscape where lagoons mirror the sky and the ocean dares you to move faster. Lessons begin on a wide, flat beach or in a glassy lagoon—kite flying on land, radio contact with your instructor, then body-drags that pull you into the rhythm of salt and current.

The wind arrives like a promise over the dunes: steady, warm, and stubbornly east-to-west.

Jericoacoara began as a small fishing settlement and later became part of a protected park to safeguard its dunes, lagoons and coastal flora. The geology here is recent: wind-sculpted sand ridges that shift seasonally, backed by volcanic rock visible along the coast. Local culture blends fishing traditions with a growing surf-and-wind community; many instructors trace their roots to the village and emphasize low-impact practices.
Expect hands-on safety briefings, radio-guided coaching, and progression tailored to your level—from first water-drags to initial water starts or jump practice for advanced riders. Typical sessions last about three hours with transport to the best spot included. Hydrate in the sun, use reef-safe sunscreen, and plan lessons during peak wind months when conditions are most reliable.
Practical tips: wear a snug harness, bring a light long-sleeve for sun and wind chill on launches, and confirm weight/age limits when booking. If you listen to the wind and your instructor, Jericoacoara’s lagoons will teach you how to translate motion into flight—quickly, safely, and with a lot of joy.
