GREAT WAVES
Talking of waves, Jeri has what they call the world’s easiest wave, because it’s big enough to excite you, not big enough to hurt you, and very safe, because it’s generated by a point break and not a shallow reef. Long, well-defined lines and a sandy bottom make Jeri your mandatory step between rookie and Jaws!
Wave season is from December to April, and what’s more, after January the prices of everything in Jeri drop. A lot. So if you like to play with other toys such as SUPs, wave-kayaks or surfboards, you can have the time of your life for the fraction of the normal cost for every aspect of your holiday – including overseas airfare.
December and January are not only the best months to wavesail, they’re also the main vacation months in Brazil, and Jeri fills with good-looking people coming in from the main cities. Brazilians are not only super friendly but they know how to party too, so a good time is guaranteed. Another bonus is that during these months you also get the wave deal from ClubVentos, whereby half your rental days are free. (So if you stay for two weeks you only pay one week of rental.)
After January it gets even better, as ClubVentos has launched a new low season deal called INFINITY: pay one day, ride the entire stay. No, that’s not a misprint. If you come between February and June you pay only the first day of rental and you’re covered for windsurfing, SUP, wave-kayak and surfboard rental for your entire stay. It’s a great time to come as there are always nice waves rolling, so you can always play, whether it be surfing, SUPing, or sailing. Some pousadas also offer a killer deal, whereby for every three nights you stay, you get another one free. (All these deals are available through ClubVentos’ partners in the UK, Sportif and Oceansource.)
