The season is up for sure! And the "Flexifoil Sick Air Kite Open" was the big opening. Lots of beautiful people gathered at Cumbuco beach to watch a great show. The conditions were perfect and the competitors inspired.
The very young brazilian kiters were the big atraction of the event.
The local kids of Cumbuco are a promise for the success of brazilian kitesurfing in the world scenario.

They are mostly sons of fishermen here in the village and learned with borrowed equipment after long days hangging out at the many kitesurf schools in Cumbuco.
Was really amazing seeing this boys in action!
Our team is now leaving Cumbuco for a week of adventure in the Ceara coast. We are going to be doing insane downwinders and visiting some undiscovered kite spots.
Stay tuned!
