Our partner Windsurf, Kitesurf and Wingfoiling centre in Gostoso is directly next to the Luxury Boutique Hotel and just a 10-minute walk from Luxury Chalet hotel. They have a large stock of the newest RRD windsurfing equipment as well as a large stock of kitesurf and SUP boards. For pre booked windsurf rental SUP rental is free!
This Centre is based at the easiest sailing area in Gostoso so well suited to beginners and improvers. The wind direction here tends to be more side shore (sometimes slight cross off shore) with a large area of shallow water, so very easy. For the more advanced, there are some small waves a short sail out or the centre can take you to a couple of other local spots by car.
As with all of the Planets partner centres you can be assured that this is one of the best centres in Gostoso with the very best equipment.
One of the goals of Dr.WIND’s project is to involve more and more people in this wonderful world of the sports related to the wind and the ocean. The energy and happiness you can get practicing them, it can really elevate the quality of your life. Brazil and expecially its northeast offers ideal climate conditions. It’s simply an endless, windy summer that every surfer dreams of! In this perfect situation, with a group of qualified instructors and the ultimate equipment, learning has never been so easy, fast and fun
