Aqua Kite School
R. São José, 373 - Caiçara, Cruz - CE, 62595-000
Aqua Kite School (AKS) is led by Marcelo, a fitness fanatic who loves to kite and surf. Marcelo has over 10+ years of experience surfing and kiting across the Americas and Asia. Marcelo is also a diving instructor and photographer, which helps his students get excellent photos during their lessons!
Marcelo is IKO certified and uses a structured methodology, focusing on safety, personalized technical progression, and excellence in training for both beginner and advanced students. Here at AKS, we refresh our equipment every year, so we always have the best kites on hand for students to learn.
We are located on Preá Beach & Barrinha, one of the best kitesurfing spots in Brazil, with warm water and strong, consistent winds blowing for around seven months of the year (from June to January). The beach has calm, flat-waters making it easy to learn and progress as a beginner.
We like to schedule students during the best wind hours (usually 2 lesson slots per day, morning and afternoon) so that students have ideal conditions to learn in.

Note: we do Downwinder trips as well, please contact KiteConnect for pricing!

Best teacher ever! Marcelo is an excellent teacher, he is super involved with all his students and at all time concerned with safety, which make his lessons fun but reassuring. He wanted me to truly learn and made the whole experience very meaningful and joyful. Also, the school was very nice, people were kind and helpful, and the equipment was all new (some kites I used them myself for the first time ever! And the neoprenes, harness, etc. too). Overall a great experience! Would recommend the school and foremost, Marcel!

Great! Personal touch all the way! Mercello teaching me kite surfing from the start, was a great experience. Flexible. Knowledgeable. Safety. Everything AAA-rating... and a nice guy also! Which is important also.

I became a kiter! Together with ABA Kite Academy [Marcelo] I have learned kiting after year of trying and failing with other schools. Marcelo's approach was to teach step by step by explaining and rationilising every move. I'm grateful for his moral support - the moments when I was scared and on a brink of giving up he brought back my confidence. I strongly recommend Marcelo to all beginners!
