UPCOMING EVENTS & CLINICS

SEASON 2024

Our kite safaris and clinics primarily focus on strapless kitesurfing, capitalizing on the abundance of fantastic waves on Boa Vista. From beachbreaks to pointbreaks, lefts and rights, small to big waves, the variety is immense. Many of these spots are only accessible with a 4x4 vehicle, adding an extra layer of adventure to exploring the island. The kite coaching and learning experience are seamlessly integrated into a memorable trip to one of the top kitesurf wave spots. Depending on the group's skill level, we select the most suitable wave spot of the day to ensure an effective learning curve and enjoyable moments both on and off the water. Led by the kite world champion, Matchu Lopes, who has chosen Boa Vista as his home spot for training, improvement, and pure enjoyment, most of our clinics offer a unique experience. Explore our kite clinic offerings below. We can't wait to let you experience the thrill and joy of wave riding!
