Ceará Kite at Cumbuco — 1 and 2 August
The announced programme includes free trial lessons for adults, a virtual-reality experience and a downwind activity for experienced riders. Places and practical details depend on the organiser's registration. The published material confirms the dates and Cumbuco Beach, but visitors should check the official @cearakiteoficial channel for times, meeting points and any wind-related change before travelling.
Festival GKC Velas in Preá — 17 to 20 September
The Brazilian Kitesurf Association calendar lists the Preá stage with Big Air and Strapless Freestyle. Arena details, public access, timetable and local transport should be confirmed on the festival's official channels. Do not reuse the programme from an earlier stage when planning the September event.
Sertões Kitesurf — 25 to 28 November
The race starts in Touros, Rio Grande do Norte, passes through São Miguel do Gostoso, Galinhos and Grossos, and finishes in Fortim, Ceará. Only the finish is in Ceará. The organiser confirms registrations and the route, but the Fortim arrival time, Kite Village and public viewing area still require a specific announcement.
Safety and booking advice
Kitesurf and downwind events depend on wind, sea conditions and technical operations. Spectators should stay outside rigging, launch and landing areas. Competitors must rely on the official rules and registration pages. Book accommodation and transport with flexible terms when a public timetable has not yet been released.
