Destination Summary

Arubinha, Rio

Arubinha is a super flat water destination. Good wind conditions. There is no support on the beach to buy anything, so you have to travel heavy with food and water. Which is also good, because there is no people and only kiteboarders! Its great! Best season is from October until February, but gets windy all year around at least once a week or so.. Wind from NE or E is best, the opposite SW works too as you can kite on the other side of the lagoon. Arubinha is the paradise for freestyle kiteboarders. Highly recommend you checking it out! Reach out to me and lets schedule a Big air Fest in RIO!!!!
