IKO 3-Day Kitesurf Course: The Lounge Kite 3-day kitesurf course gets you into the water and up on a board! This course is spilt up into six blocks of two hours and spread over three days. By the end of the third day you will be flying across the water powered by a kite and the wind. This course gives you all the practice, skills and knowledge needed to safely continue to kitesurf on an independent basis.

You will learn how to safely continue to kitesurf independently; however, we advise most students to take one or two Supervised Riding packages to continue to practice their kitesurfing.

Travel Guide
Acommodation Cumbuco:
Kitesurf Cauipe Lagoon
Cauipe is 5km downwind from Cumbuco and is a large freshwater lagoon fed by a small tributary river, the lagoon is separated from the sea by 300m of beach. The wind blows onto the lagoon very consistently and is not gusty, it blows onto the lagoon allowing you sail across its width easily. It can handle around 30 kites safely, but has been getting very busy so early mornings (8am) are best so you have more room. Its mostly standing deep and sandy on the bottom. There are Barracas around the downwind shoreline so you need to take care not to get to close with your kite.
Level: Beginner to Advanced
Best for: Flat water freestyle
Tides: No tide
Wind: Blows side shore from the right
Getting there: By road head on the highway towards Paracuru and turn off towards Lagoa Cauipe to your left. You drive for 5km and there is a turning on your right hand side onto a dirt road with small houses on your left, the lagoon is 500m (if you get to the sea again you have gone 1km to far).
