Run Ceará's classic downwinder with intelligence.
Cumbuco to Taíba is the most iconic first downwinder on the Ceará coast — the leg every visiting kiter does at least once. Here's what the route actually looks like, and what running it through AYON Wind unlocks before you launch.
Cumbuco Taíba
Intermediate- Distance
- 27 km
- Wind window
- E / ESE (90–115°)
- Typical time
- ~2 h
The classic first leg. Launch from Cumbuco's main beach and stay outside the shore break past Pecém — give the industrial port a wide berth. Check the tidal window (low–mid works best): the shore break at Taíba's landing gets heavy at high tide. Confirm your pickup or support boat before you launch.
What the app shows you, before you're committed to 27 km.

A live risk score for the leg
Today's wind, tide, and conditions on this exact 27 km stretch, scored before you launch — not a generic route description.
Kite-size match for the day
Your weight and skill level cross-referenced against Cumbuco's live wind reading, so you rig the right size for today, not last trip's memory.
The pre-flight safety checklist
Rescue contact confirmed, landing zone confirmed, safety leash on, wind window verified — four checks before tracking starts.
Live GPS tracking with one-tap sharing
Your position tracked the whole 27 km, with a private link your pickup or support crew can follow in real time.
A safety checklist before every session.
Before GPS tracking starts on the Cumbuco–Taíba leg, AYON Wind walks through the same checks a careful local rider would run in their head: rescue contact confirmed, landing zone confirmed at Taíba, safety leash on, and today's wind window verified against the 90–115° line this route needs.
Once you're moving, live GPS tracking follows the whole 27 km, and a one-tap private share link means whoever's meeting you at Taíba's landing — or just watching from Cumbuco — knows exactly where you are the entire way down.
