Shaped by the steady winds of Icaraizinho and the vibrant energy of the sea, Icarai Watersports Centre offers a true gateway to some of the best water sports experiences in Icaraí de Amontada. Founded by João Henrique “Janjão” — a former professional windsurfer (2007–2014), as well as a photographer and filmmaker — the centre was born from a deep passion for the ocean and a desire to share it through safe, authentic and memorable experiences.
Following the opening of Casa Janjão in 2016, a charming guesthouse complete with bar and restaurant, Icarai Watersports Centre was established in 2019 as a natural extension of this vision. Today, it serves as a relaxed and welcoming meeting point where watersports, nature and local culture come together.
More than just a sports centre, Icarai Watersports Centre invites guests to experience the true spirit of Icaraizinho — with its consistent winds, warm and crystal-clear waters, untouched mangroves and the genuine hospitality of the local community. Whether on or off the water, it offers an immersive and authentic Brazilian kitesurfing escape.
Icarai Watersports Centre offers a full range of watersports and guided experiences, designed for all levels and delivered in a relaxed, professional environment. Activities include kitesurfing, windsurfing, wingfoiling, stand-up paddleboarding, and Hawaiian canoeing (OC6 & OC4), allowing guests to explore the coastline in a variety of exciting ways.
One of the highlights is the fully supported downwind adventures, running from Icaraizinho to Patos or Barra das Moitas. These unforgettable journeys combine wave riding, river crossings and long flat-water sections, all backed by expert guidance and full safety support.
For a more tranquil experience, Hawaiian canoe tours along the Aracatiaçu River offer a unique way to discover the region’s natural beauty, weaving through mangroves and calm waterways.
The centre also provides equipment rental alongside full water and land logistics support, including safety boat assistance and return transfers by car when required, ensuring a seamless and worry-free experience.
A range of clinics, personalised coaching sessions and tailor-made expeditions are also available, allowing guests to progress at their own pace while making the most of the exceptional local conditions.
