Hi, this
is me
Estefania Rosa dos Santos. I’m 35 years old, and I live in Cumbuco, Ceará, Brazil, the paradise of the wind. I started kitesurfing when I was 19. A tourist who was enjoying the great wind in Cumbuco gave me a kite and shared what he had noticed about the area.
I fell in love with the feeling that kitesurfing gave me from the very first try, especially the connection with nature. Following the wind and my heart, I became a skilled rider! It wasn't an easy process, but I had a dream to teach, so I had to train.
Kitesurfing changed my life, and I feel passionate about sharing this experience with others. Because of kitesurfing, I learned to speak English and Spanish, traveled around the world representing my country as an athlete, and had many opportunities to work in sports. I’m very grateful for all the opportunities kitesurfing has given me!
"There are no girls doing this amazing sport here in Cumbuco, the best place in the world for it. You should start; I can see potential in you."

My Social
Project
ROSA DOS VENTOS SOCIAL
I felt I could do more, so I developed a project that combines environmental awareness, sport, and education, offering a unique perspective on ourselves through our connection with sport and nature.
With the prizes from competitions, I accumulated enough kitesurfing equipment to start the social project in Brazil.
