Question 1

When is the kite season in Barra Grande?

Accepted Answer

Wind blows from July to January, with the strongest and most consistent conditions from September to November. Mornings are lighter and the wind builds through the afternoon, with side-onshore trades around 18-30 knots.

Question 2

Is Barra Grande good for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Yes. At low tide there are large shallow, flat-water areas right in front of the BOHAM kite school, and the side-onshore wind brings a downed kite back to the beach.

Question 3

What kitesurf equipment does BOHAM use?

Accepted Answer

The whole school and rental fleet is brand-new Reedin 2026: kites, twintips, bars and harnesses, in every size.

Question 4

Which languages are the kite lessons taught in?

Accepted Answer

Portuguese, English, French and Spanish.

Question 5

Can I store my own kite gear at BOHAM?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Leave your kit with us between sessions or for your whole stay, and our beach team will rig, launch and land it for you.

Question 6

How do I get to Barra Grande, Piauí?

Accepted Answer

Fly into Parnaíba (about 1 hour by road) or Fortaleza (about 5 hours). Jericoacoara is roughly 2 hours away, so Barra Grande fits naturally into a Rota das Emoções kite trip.
