  Iguape
Iguape is located 200 km south from São Paulo, close to the mouth of the Ribeira do Iguape river.

With the intuition to facilitate and to cheapen the transport, Iguape solicited permission to king D. Pedro II in order to open a 4 km long and 2 km wide channel, connecting the fluvial port in the west with the marine port in the east.

Iguape lagoon it´s inland and even being of much bigger dimensions, due to its shape and the proximity of weekend houses and coconut trees, receive mostly unstable winds, being only rideable the part that ends at the beach.
Iguape beach is partly protected on its eastern side by a huge white sand dune and a Morro (hill ending at the sea) that stops the chop and gives way to good waves, sometimes of considerable size, and quite flat water between them.
From the 3 lagoons, the first one is not recommended for being too close to Fortaleza and not being a quite secure area, the other two are perfectly rideable and even being small, can hold 3-4 kiters without problem, they are only reachable by the beach on a 4 wheels traction car or a buggy.
