Coast XTreme Poster Fri Nov 25, 11 5:55 am    Brazil is Heaven, I've passed away... 14km down-winder from the inland sea in front of http://windyaddiction.com/ at Iterema, Brazil. The wind just never let's up here. I arrived at midnight last Friday and it's been either a 6M or 9M big decision 24/7. All good people die and go to heaven some day. Pinch me, I'm dreaming this: https://picasaweb.google.com/103717908903837121327/ItaremaBrazilDownwinder _________________ CGKA Member ------- Kip Wylie Bettyboarder Since 18 Mar 2005 1823 Posts PDX/ White Salmon XTreme Poster Fri Nov 25, 11 8:48 am     Sick i would love to go there!

I was down there a few years back, everything was different down there (sunrise where the sun normally sets, toilets swirling backwards, PORK in the popcorn) but I want to go back. Your post has me wanting to go now! dancingwind Since 18 Jul 2007 321 Posts Obsessed Fri Nov 25, 11 12:56 pm     Looks epic! All that sun, NO RAIN!!! and 6m/9m wind?? What more can a guy/gal ask for?? Keep more sick pics coming and ride the living hell out of that wind for all of us NW mortals that are stuck in here!! _________________ SAY WHAT YOU MEAN, MEAN WHAT YOU SAY wylieflyote Since 30 Jun 2006 1648 Posts Puget Sound & Wa.

From doorstep to doorstep it was about 32 hours. Left for the airport in Seattle around 8AM, hit my bed here in Brazil a full day plus 12 hours later at midnight Brazil time. But the payoff is immediate and fulfilling. Many days of 6 meter kiting in flat bathwater. The "light" day is a 9meter day. Advice section: Take plenty of "Airborne" or wear a gas mask on the Dallas to Sao Paulo 11 hour leg. I had just a hint of a previous cold, and this 11 hour blew that into full blown bronchitis. Just now getting well. But the funny part is, I feel perfectly healthy during my 5-6 hours of kiting every day. Jericoacoara is a must-see scene for any Brazil traveler. 2 hours on a dune buggy to get to this cool beach town surrounded by sand dunes. A thousand people climb the largest dune to drink and watch the sunset, then the partying begins. Good setup for access and lodging at reasonable pricing here at Ilha du Guajira windyaddiction. The inland sea here is a sweet place with the strongest winds and perfect waters. Paid a local pescadero to take a few of us up to a "secret spot" of flat water. Smooth 9m and perfect butter. Excuse the crappy pictures, I'm not Lenten (in this lifetime) Kip _________________ CGKA Member ------- Kip Wylie KidCorporate Since 10 Jul 2007 563 Posts Addicted Sat Dec 03, 11 1:22 am     Are you guys really as close to the turbines as it looks? _________________ Let's go kite. hobbsla Since 28 Jan 2006 389 Posts Obsessed Sat Dec 03, 11 4:34 am     Niiice! forrest Since 21 Jun 2005 4330 Posts Hood River Hick CGKA Member Sat Dec 03, 11 8:54 am     Damn! Amazing! I'm lusting after that flat water! Windy Dave Since 09 Sep 2011 4 Posts Ilha do Guajiru,Ceara, Brazil Kook Sat Feb 04, 12 7:20 am    Kiting in February in Ilha do Guajiru Hey Kipper! Hows mexico and the misses treating you? Hope all is well in "MargaritaVille", you should remember that song, lol. Here all is good. Been damn windy, over 30knots yesterday, 5 M weather!!! Today is windy too, but less. Most all other pousadas are closed, all other foreigners have left...kinda sad to have this whole lagoon all to myself. Soon soon Rio will be joining me. Now he says "papi" and/or "kite" interchangabley when he sees kites, lol. Lots of things have settled down around here. We had a great season and wanted to thank everyone who came out to see us this year. Please Devon and Colleen we say hi. We are getting ready for carnival, it will be very busy here 3rd of Feb. Anyways, just wanted to say Paz, RIo and I miss you. Take care, happy winds, hope to see you soon! Tchau David, Paz and Rio Ilha do Guajiru www.windyaddiction.com  Hey dude, dont pee in my pool!  PB190173.JPG  shymac Since 20 Jul 2005 919 Posts Home Valley, Wa.
