Description of Lagoa Tabuba (Brazil)
Laoga Tabuba is a very handy spot just out of Fortaleza. A couple of kite schools hang out here. Not as popular as Cauipe in Cumbuco or Tahiba, it shares the same quality of flat water and wind.
Lately has become a bit more crowded than it used to be, but it is a great flat water spot to improve your freestyle and wakeboard tricks. It is quite cool to organize downwinders from here to Cumcuco and further.
