BARRA GRANDE I had to check out this place

The way from Taiba to barra grande is sooooooo long.... incredible, when you are near jeri you are still fare away from barra grande... so after around 6 hours we arrived there.

The village is very nice and the people are friendly. The pousadas are beautiful but so expensive..... 100 Reais and more..... if you don't want to stay in a dormitory.
We almost gave up to find a nice place for good money..... but we were lucky and a very nice local family had this sweet apartment for us :-)


So the village is super but how is the kitespot..... 
-The first thing is that there is no wind before 10 o'clock... 
-The spot close to the village works only around low tide
- The lagoon is good around high tide and is far off.... 
- The wind is so strong.....

After one day and a terrible upwinder from the lagoon we decided to leave our beautiful apartment because this spot is nothing for us, because we are looking for safe places to train new moves.

So we drove back to ceara and we stopped by ilha do guajiru in the pousada of our friend joseph the PURA VIDA CLUB.

We had a few good day but after a night with a lot of rain, there is just no wind..... as you can see.... not even a breeze...
