Uncrowded beaches
Sample one of the newest windsurfing spot on earth, Sao Miguel do Gostoso, this autumn with Ant Baker from the Baker Academy. Incredibly reliable winds grace these shores so if you're looking to get the most from a windsurf coaching/holiday combination, then this is not to be missed!
Coaching
Ant’s unique coaching style combines years of wavesailing at a professional level with an element of fitness training and stretching. These two elements are key to taking your windsurfing to the next level as you improve your physique to help you develop a more aggressive windsurfing style.
The Location Sao Miguel do Gostoso is a small fishing village located approximately 100 km from the city of Natal, a relatively small city with influences of European culture from the days of colonization.
The city however small, has an excellent infrastructure for tourists and residents alike. Many Europeans live in Gostoso, owners of great restaurants and pousadas (accomodation) so you can be assured of world-class cuisine.
The town itself is very safe and peaceful so you can walk all over town or hire a motorcycle-taxi, costing very little to get you anywhere.
You have four choices of beaches, one beside the other: Praia do Santo Cristo, Praia do Cardeiro (home of Clube Kauli), Praia da Xepa and Praia do Maceio.
Bungalow Kauli Seadi
