Gear & clothing

Gear · A 15-17m kite is ideal for the light average winds of 7.4 kts; consider a larger 19m for lighter wind days. Use a twin-tip or freestyle board suited for flat water progression.

Clothing · A light 2-3mm wetsuit or rash guard is sufficient year-round given Aracaju's warm tropical climate. Sun protection is essential during peak season months.

Crowd & etiquette

Keep clear of fishing areas and local boats operating in the region. Respect other water users and maintain distance from swimmers in designated beach areas.
