Thanks to those trades and the Earth’s rotation, the wind is the same as Jeri but conditions are easier as the waters are more sheltered, thanks to the bay having a little more curve. Variety is also very much the name of the game in Icaraizinho, and there’s something for everyone, no matter what level. On the right-hand side of the bay you have a great wave spot, and bang in front of the ClubVentos centre you have ‘the pond’ – a flat water area created by a sheltering reef that’s perfect for general blasting and dancing the freestyle fandango. As mentioned, Brit Gurus Hart, Cribb and Hall will be running clinics here, as many guests like the idea of warming up in Icaraizinho before heading to Jeri. So if you want to get those jumps and gybes polished, that shaka sorted or ponch perfected, get in touch with Pete, Guy or Jem before they run out of places.
