We at Fluid Feeling pride ourselves on providing excellent gap year kitesurfing experiences, not just courses, for students looking to kite surf during their gap year / year out travelling abroad.
Whether you are planning on travelling alone or in a group, we will customise your experience to include what you want and leave out what you don’t.
Our aim is to make you as passionate about kitesurfing & windsurfing as we are. For this reason, we have selected the best kite surf destinations, with the most reliable conditions for kitesurfing & windsurfing, a range of extra activities, fun, relaxation and nightlife.
In addition to improving your personal kitesurfing ability, we also offer the following optional extras:
• Language courses
• Volunteer teaching work & other projects (totally optional)
• Professional kite surf instructor qualifications (iko level 1 kite surf instructor & assistant instructor)
Combining professional kite surf instructor training & travel abroad with Fluid Feeling is guaranteed to make your gap year an unforgettable & rewarding experience, earning money to fund your gap year travel. A professional instructing qualification will also look very impressive on your CV to future employers, especially in a new, fast-growing and different sport such as kitesurfing.
In short, Fluid Feeling offer you a complete gap year kitesurfing experience that starts with us but the benefits of which last much longer.
As part of your experience with Fluid Feeling in Brazil, you will be given the opportunity to give something back to the local community in which you will be spending so much enjoyable time.
Brazil is still very much a developing country. Tourism is an increasingly important contributor to the Brazilian economy and is an integral part of the lives of many people - especially in Prea & Jeri. However, the impact of tourism on areas of outstanding natural beauty such as the Jericoacoara National Park is normally detrimental. We at Fluid Feeling want you to prove us wrong and for your tourism to have a beneficial effect on the lives of future generations.
Currently, only 3 people in the whole of the village of Prea speak English - one of them - Jair - is a kitesurf instructor with Skyriders at Kite Club Prea. As fishing as an industry declines and tourism expands in Prea, the desire of the local people - especially the young - to learn English is massive.
Make a positive impact on the lives of those less fortunate, to give them a better chance of success in the future.
*No matter whether you have a formal teaching qualification or not, all you need is some patience, a good sense of humour and your ability to speak English - it costs you nothing but a few hours of your time
*Volunteer schemes are not compulsory in any way - indeed you can choose to take part as much or as little as you like, but we urge everyone to give up just a couple of hours a week to 'muck-in' and lend a helping hand
Combine volunteering with kitesurfing & / or windsurfing and enjoying this incredible place
