The migration to Brazil
Many professional kitesurfers migrate to Brazil for training during the September-December period to make the most of the steady reliable winds and flat water lagoons. It has been a favourite place of Paula's for many years, and Going North exploring the beauty of the Ceara region for this video project was a true adventure.
International recognition
The movie gained international recognition from the Kiteboarding community all over social media, Redbull, renowned magazines such as Kite Sista Magazine, Kite Channel, IKSurf Mag, & The Kite Mag.
