Kanaha Beach Park (Maui, Hawaii, USA) Andrea was in Maui (Hawaii), the Mecca of windsurfing, where everything was born. He had the opportunity to ride at Kanaha Beach park, and we thank him for sharing this beautiful review with us. We can not hide some envy .... I dedicate this short review about the spot of Kanaha (Maui, Hawaii) to all Waterwind friends. The island of Maui is the second largest island in Hawaii, and is renowned for its beautiful beaches, and especially its waves and surf spots. In this magical island, even windsurfing and kiting have their own space, and the different kite/windsurf and pro-shop schools, located near Kahului airport, testify that. Given that I was not in Maui for a windsurfing holiday, anyway I tried to have a session there, and, after a quick search on the internet, I identified the spot that would have right for me: Kanaha Beach Park .

Jericoacoara (Brazil), August 2016 (by Davide Ceriani) Davide, a Waterwind team member, exaggerated this August, and went to try the mythical spot of Jericoacoara, in Brazil. He sent us this great review, that has already made us feeling the need to go there, as soon as possible.... Jericoacoara (Jerì) is a little town, located in the north of Brazil, 300km from the international airport of Fortaleza. It’s considered as a great windsurf destination since almost 10 years thanks to its wind constancy; here the “aliseo” blows from July to December. In the past Jeri was a small village of fishermen; now it’s definitely a tourist destination that has kept a particular appeal. it’s located inside a natural park and all its road are made of sand; it can be reached only by a 4x4 car. the weather is dry from June to December and rainy from January to May; there are many palms and the wind here is blowing at each moment of the day. From the wind point of view, its main feature is...
