Join multiple world champion Youri Zoon on one of the most amazing downwinders in all of Brazil! A truly insane week of action (on and off the water!) is waiting for you. This epic 7-day downwinder from Prea to Atins covers almost 300 kilometers along this beautiful tropical coast. Keeping track of you along the way will be our 4×4 vehicle on the land, and experienced instructors and guides on the water and, crossing the Delta de Parnaíba, we will also have a rescue boat available in the unlikely event you have any issues. To end the trip in style, you will then have your own final-day photoshoot in the famous natural park of Lençois Maranhenses. Spaces are strictly limited to 10 to ensure safety and that you get the maximum time riding with Youri. We expect this to sell out quickly so please book quickly to bag your slot!

The Coach

Youri Zoon

Youri needs no introduction to anyone familiar with the world of kitesurfing! He has been world champion twice, vice world champion twice and can also take the credit for introducing several new tricks to the sport and helping to take it to the level that it is at today. A true legend. He will be with you throughout the 300km journey and will have your back, as well as keeping an eye on your riding and using his incredible knowledge of kitesurfing to help take your riding to the next level.

Itinerary

19 November

Arrival day, and a downwinder from Preá to Tatajuba, 35km. The idea is to do a simple downwinder to check your level and ensure your gear is all okay. Get back to Preá after the downwinder and we will spend the evening in Jericoacoara.

 

 

20 November

Downwind from Camocím to Barra Grande, 55km. Transfer between Preá and Camocím to start the day’s downwinder. Youri Zoon and the local instructors will join you for the downwinder, and you will be followed on land by a 4×4 with all the equipment and cool drinks for the breaks!

 

21 November

Downwinder from Barra Grande to Macapá, 10km, followed by a flat water session. Free kite day in the Macapá Delta and preparation for the Delta de Parnaíba. Getting back to Barra Grande at the end of the day.

 

22 November

Downwind from Barra Grande to Delta de Parnaíba, 55km. Youri and the local instructors will join you for the downwinder, and you will be followed on land by a 4×4 with all the equipment, and they’ll also keep a check on your progress.

 

23 November

Downwind from Delta de Parnaíba to Tutoia, 61km. Enjoy this unique and beautiful leg of the downwinder through the Delta de Parnaíba. This is a truly amazing and unique experience – you will be accompanied by a boat during this part of the downwinder.

 

24 November

Downwind from Tutoia to Atins, 60km. This is the final part of the downwinder and we will reach our final destination, Atins, where cold beers await! They will taste better than any you have had before – that is a guarantee!

Spots

Preá

Close to the famous city of Jericoacoara, Preá enjoys stronger sideshore winds that are simply perfect for Big Air, powered freestyle or just for boosting into the sunset!

Tatajuba

Tatajuba lies around 30km north of Jericoacoara, a famous and vibrant Brazilian town. Tatajuba is known for its peaceful surroundings and will be the stop for the first downwinder.

Barra Grande

Barra Grande has perfect kite conditions and butter-flat waters.

Atins

Atins is a small fishing village located on the coast of Maranhão, surrounded by the dunes of the Lençóis Maranhenses National Park. It’s a special place, right at the delta of the Preguiças River, a small creek, and the Atlantic Ocean. Atins has amazing kiteboarding conditions with consistent cross-shore winds and shallow warm waters.
