The routes

THE IRONMAN Cumbuco to Atins: SSF’s most famous downwinder is also one of their most challenging. Taking eight days, you'll cover 600 kilometres on your board down the coast of Ceará. You’ll stop off at some of Brazil’s best known spots along the way, including Icaraizinho, Preá and Barra Grande. Expect to be out kiting at least five hours a day and conditions can be challenging at times, so it’s not for inexperienced riders.

ULTRA-MAN: A 1,000 KILOMETRE TRIP Surfin Sem Fim is always taking it to the next level. Join the team from São Miguel do Gostoso in the state of Rio Grande do Norte along the entire coastline of Ceará to Atins, passing through four different states as you go! Again, this is for experienced riders and SSF ask that you’ve done at least one of their more challenging routes in the past before attempting this one.

SCENIC RIDES SSF's downwinders aren’t all epic tests of endurance. On the Delta Poldros and the Delta Experience ‘intermediate’ routes you’ll be guided around incredible places, like the breathtaking natural reserves in the Delta do Parnaíba and the Lençois Maranhenses. Surfin Sem Fim have a couple of other routes of similar difficulty and length, covering between 200 and 300 kilometres, but there are also some first-time downwinder trips, like the 'Light' route; a 60 kilometre journey from Preá to Camocim, designed purely for those looking to improve their downwinder skills.
