The lure
Surfin Sem Fim (SSF) are one of the most established downwinder / kite 'adven-tour' operators going. Top level pro riders, such as Keahi de Aboitiz, Matchu Lopes, Mitu Monteiro, Reno Romeu and Sebastian Ribeiro frequently join the routes to offer coaching along the way
Although SSF offer entry-level trips too, a downwinder with of the sorts of distance and locations that they have built a reputation specialising in can be as tough as they are thrilling. Their longer trips can be a truly wild experience and much of the time you’ll be away from any signs of human life for long stretches of time.
A a pick-up truck will follow you on SSF downwinders for most of their routes which will carry your gear between the overnight stops. Be warned though, the truck won’t be able to keep track of you all the way and sometimes you’ll be without support on more exposed stretches - but this is all part of the wild adventure!
