By car: tips for the trip

Having a car in Icaraizinho also makes it easier to visit nearby spots, but it isn't necessary: in the village, almost everything is close to the beach.
When to arrive: wind season
To make the most of Ceará's steady wind, plan your trip during the wind season, which in Icaraizinho generally runs from August to January. If you can, arrive a day before your first lesson: that way you can rest from the trip and start your kitesurf lesson full of energy.
