Another new spot – Jericoacoara, Brazil (FRA version)

Three competitions in three weeks, succeeding in winning the last one, the PKRA Team World in Flexeiras, Brazil, called for some crucial chill & rest-period… So I decided to head up North, to one of the most ‘tranquilo’ places I know, Jericoacoara, a dream-village behind huge sand dunes.

To get there a beach buggy or 4-wheel drive is definitely of advantage, in town as well as there’s no concrete, all sand…wild cows and donkeys…and of course true Brazilian vibes! I planned on staying maximum one week, in the end I spent almost 3 months in Jericoacoara. Christmas, new Years all included plus the acquaintance of Roberta Pala, a lovely Italian girl and good friend now. Roberta is also editor of the Italian Stance magazine and a great photographer. Check out our story and spotguide to this truly unique place.
