Brazil Kiteboarding Trip

John and I have booked a Brazil kiteboarding trip! We are going to Ibiraquera Point in Garopaba, Brazil from January 21st-31st, 2006. We are flying from Vancouver to Sao Paulo then taking a plane to Florianoplis, then taking a bus 70km to Garopaba. A special thanks goes out to Lindsay and Sheralyn at G.A.P Adventures (in Vancouver) for re-aligning the flights and dates to make the trip fit our schedules (and budget). As mentioned in a previous post, we are going to Key West Florida on a kiteboarding trip from November 16th-23rd, for John's 30th birthday. I turn 30 on January 23rd, so the Brazil trip is for my 30th. While in Key West Florida, we are taking 4 days of lessons which hopefully will prepare us for the conditions in Ibiraquera.



If you are thinking about being in either spot during those times, drop me a line. Also, if you have been to Garopaba, Brazil kiteboarding and could provide any tips or suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated.
