Lagoon-flat water near Tutóia, the last stop before Atins on our six-day route.

The spot

Kitesurfing in Arpoador

Arpoador lies near Tutóia, on the coast of Maranhão, between the Parnaíba Delta and the Lençóis Maranhenses. The water here is flat, lagoon-style, in a setting with very few people.

It is the fifth stop of our six-day downwinder from Jericoacoara to Atins: the group arrives from the Parnaíba Delta and rides the final leg to Atins the next day.
