Join me for 8 days of laser-focused kite coaching with just 3 other kiters! Every detail is taken care of to maximize your progression, comfort and enjoyment.

Luxury Living at Quatro Coqueiros

We're staying at Quatro Coqueiros, a beautiful pousada run by my friends Herbert and Leticia—who care deeply about creating an amazing experience for riders. The vibe is relaxed but refined, with air-conditioned rooms, a jacuzzi, pool, and super-fast wifi. It's the perfect place to unwind after big sessions.

Plenty of Individual Attention

We've got 2 coaches on the trip and I limit the clinic to 6 riders so that we can give you the focus you need to achieve your goals. You will get 2 hours of radio coaching every day and 1 hour of group video analysis.

Radio coaching on the water

Radio Coaching

I use BBTalkin radios so we can talk while you're on the water—giving you exactly the feedback you need, right when you need it. If you've got a helmet, I'll clip the radio on. If not, no stress—I've got radio-ready caps for you to use.

Filming kitesurfing for video analysis

Video Analysis

Seeing yourself ride is one of the most powerful tools for progression. We shoot in high-resolution 4K and slow motion, so we can break down every detail of your technique and figure out exactly what needs tweaking to help you level up. Plus, you'll walk away with sick clips and a personalized video edit to remember the trip.

What Level Do You Need?

As long as you're riding independently (you can go upwind and you're good enough to ride unsupervised), then there's immense value in joining! We'll work on laying down strong fundamentals and achieving your goals.

I'll help guide you, but the path you take is up to you.

More Than Just a Kite Trip

The goal of this clinic is to bring passionate kiters together in a fun, collaborative environment to push our limits and grow—on and off the water. We'll progress as riders, challenge ourselves to learn new things, and maybe even walk away with life-long friendships.

What You'll Eat in Guriu

Kiting all day means you'll need proper fuel—and we're eating like kings.

Breakfast

Every morning kicks off with an unreal breakfast at 4CQ: eggs any way you like them, Pao de Queijo (those legendary cheesy bread balls), crispy bacon, croissants, protein smoothies, yogurt, fresh-baked cakes, juices, and more.

Lunch

Casual and delicious. Takeaway baguettes prepared for us, plus a bowl of fruit salad — eaten at the beach during a break. Cold water and drinks available at the beach.

Dinner

Most nights at 4CQ — picanha steaks, burger nights, local Brazilian dishes. We also hit Kaze (sushi in Jeri), do a Tatajuba downwinder with dinner at Tatadise, and eat at Guriu Grill.

Whatever your vibe—meat, seafood, veggie, or vegan—you're going to eat seriously well.

Warm water, plenty of flat water and the occasional small kicker. I give it 95% chance that we will kite every day without fail.

Getting to Guriu is Easy

Guriu is on the northeast coast of Brazil. You've got two airport options — and we'll have a driver waiting for you at either one. Airport transfers are included in the price.

JJD

Jericoacoara Airport

Only 1 hour from Guriu by car. Fly into Fortaleza (FOR) or São Paulo (GRU), then catch a short domestic flight to JJD. This is the easiest and fastest route.

FOR

Fortaleza Airport

Can't get a flight to JJD? No problem. Fortaleza is about a 4.5-hour drive. We'll arrange a comfortable, air-conditioned car to collect you and bring you straight to the resort.

Try the Latest CORE Gear

I bring extra XR's and bars to my clinic so you can see what all the fuss is about. We're talking about highly technical, aerodynamic wings and some of them are simply better than others.

CORE is not the only great kite out there, but I choose to ride CORE because I've found the performance and the quality of the gear beats everything else I've ever ridden. If you're looking to ride the best gear, I'm happy to give you the opportunity!

I still ask that you bring all your own gear, as there is limited demo gear available and we have to share.

FAQs

As long as you are able to ride independently and you aren't a total beginner, you will find immense value in joining the clinic.

You can check in 1 day early or check out 1 day late (subject to availability). Breakfast included. $175 per extra night.

There's fantastic WiFi at 4CQ! It's good enough for big downloads/uploads, video calls, streaming etc. We've also got 4G cellular.

You can cancel any time before making the final payment and receive a full refund. The final payment is due 1 week from when you book the trip. If you cancel after making the final payment, I will attempt to sell the spot. If I manage to sell it (after selling any remaining spots I have), I will give you a refund (less credit card fees). If I am not able to sell it, then I can't offer a refund. Unfortunately I can't offer a more flexible cancellation policy without exposing myself to too much risk. Thanks for your understanding. Cancellations do happen from time to time and I've always managed to sell the spot and refund my guests, but it's not a guarantee.

It's a 3-5 minute drive and we've got 2 cars for flexibility.

Most guests do not require a visa or e-visa to enter Brazil. U.S. citizens need a visa to enter Brazil starting April 10, 2025. You can apply online for an e-Visa at brazil.vfsevisa.com. It's valid for multiple entries over 10 years, and allows 90 days per year in Brazil. Processing takes about 5 business days. Apply early to avoid delays.

Most expenses are already covered in the trip, but I suggest having a bit of cash or credit card on you in case you want to purchase some things when we're in town.

The standard mains voltage in Brazil is 220V. Brazil uses a unique 3-pin plug (Type N). Bring a universal travel adapter.
