Bye Bye Cumbuco

Thanks god tomorrow we leave Cumbuco despite of the nice sunsets from the dunes. Cumbuco is one of the places you will find all around the world. Very touristic and....boring!  Sabrina and me would not recommend to come here neither for kitesurfing nor for anything else.

Cumbuco is well-known among kitesurfers and therefore completely overcrowded and it's definitely one of the choppier spots we've ever seen. Cumbuco is half an hour drive by car from Fortaleza  and in the evening and especially during the weekends you will see lots of piriguetes (ladies of easy virtue / leichte Mädchen) from Fortaleza trying to find a Gringo.

If you want to see Brazil and get in touch with the people from here avoid to go to Cumbuco. Sad to say but it lost it's charme of a little fishing village.  I hope we will not see the same shit gonna happen in Barra do Cunhaú with all these stupid Gringos not willing to speak one word Portuguese staying in their 24 x 7 secured apartment complexes.

However we checked out some delicious kitespots around. Paracuru is a great spot to play in flatwater and in waves up to 3 meters but can get very crowded during high season. Many thanks to Aryen to show us this spot.

My personal favorite is the bay of Taiba (Image 2). We have seen perfect waves with wind from side-on to side-off and not to many kitesurfers. All in all a relaxed place and atomsphere. It has a lot of surfers in the water as well. Make sure you stay on the left of the surfers in the bay.

Ladies and gentlemen sorry for the inconvenience gotta go back to the liquid office not least to work hard on my tan in brasiwonderland. Let's see how deep the rabbit hole goes......yiiiiiiiiiihaaaaaaaaa!
