Women's
Kite Camp
Come as
you are.
Leave stronger,
on the water
and off it.
This week is about more than kiting. It is about building the life you want and have worked for — surrounded by coaches, mentors, movement specialists, physios and like-minded women who share that drive.
ORRA Global
A travelling movement house for people who perform at the edge. Performance and recovery are our first priority.
A practice that moves with you.
ORRA Ride Ready Method™
Kitesurfing loads the body in a very particular way — a harness pulling at the hips, shoulders overhead for hours, landings absorbed through the knees. We prepare for that, protect against it, and reset overnight.
Mobility, strength training, and hands-on correction throughout the week. It is crucial to know when to push and when to restore. Creating this level of awareness with you is of utmost importance to us. We are not here to tell you what to do — we are here to help you identify exactly what your body needs to be the best version of yourself, on and off the water.
What we already do
Salt Lake City, Cape Town, Tarifa, Greece, Mykonos, Hood River and now Brazil — plus the juniqua Ladies Club, and most recently a full weekend with Paradiso Wellness Living in Icaraí.
Can you ride upwind?
That is the one thing we ask of you. If you can get back to where you started and look after yourself on a kite, you are ready for this week — and everything above that line is what we are here to teach.
One honest note. If you can ride upwind and look after yourself on a kite, the rest can be taught — and that is exactly why you are coming. We put real weight on safety: self-rescue, launching and landing cleanly, reading conditions before you rig, and what to do the moment you feel overpowered. Where to ride, how to understand a kite spot, the rotations — all of that comes with the week.
Barra Grande
Barra Grande is a laid-back fishing village on Brazil's north-eastern coast, near the Parnaíba Delta. From July to January, consistent easterly and south-easterly trade winds typically deliver 15–30 knots, warm water and excellent kiteboarding conditions. It is our home base for the week, with access to open-water riding, flat-water spots and downwind adventures along the coast.
Shared water. Every spot on this coast is public, and we share it with local riders and other visitors. We plan each day's running order on the beach, once we have seen the wind, the tide and the crowd.
Flat and warm. This is where most of the lessons will happen — they may also happen in front of the beach club. It will all be tide and weather dependent.
You have a choice depending on your skill level. Ride downwind from the beach club — about five to ten minutes — to the Macapá lagoon, or take the donkey down to the lagoon instead.
Macapá offers a different perspective of the Piauí coastline. Along the way, the landscape opens into sandbanks, tidal channels and flatter-water sections, creating opportunities to explore varied riding conditions. The route and any lagoon stops depend on the wind, tide and conditions on the day.
One guided downwinder during the week. The day is set by the tide. Shared water. These beaches and riding areas are shared with local kiters and other visitors. Each session is planned around the conditions, with the route, launch and landing points, and safety considerations confirmed before we ride.
BOHAM
The beach club and kite point in Barra Grande, and our base camp during certain parts of each day.
Where your gear lives
Storage and concierge on site. Your gear is rigged and ready at the call time.
Where the day starts
The group gathers here before each downwinder, and one morning the whole camp practises on the deck before the wind fills in.
Where you land
Pool, loungers, and the option for lunch and drinks at sunset. This will be yours to order and settle as you like.

A house, or a hotel
Which one depends on final numbers. Either way you are a few minutes from the water, a few minutes from BOHAM, and in the same place as the rest of the group.
Fixed either way: six nights, breakfast daily, twin share. You can ask for your own room at an additional cost, on a first come, first served basis, subject to availability.
Which accommodation we use, and how rooms are arranged within it, depends on final group size and on availability at the time of booking. We confirm the details with you once numbers are final.
Lunch and dinner
are your own
Breakfast is included every morning, with light snacks and refreshments at the house and at the lagoon during training. Lunch and dinner are at your own account.
Run a tab and settle it with them directly.
Barra Grande is small, but the food and the vibes are exceptional — seafood, Nordeste home cooking, açaí, a couple of places worth dressing for, but keep it light. It is hot and humid, so bring light fabrics with you.
Seven days, six nights
The wind decides.
We plan around it.
| 06:30 | Yoga & mobility | Hips, spine, shoulders — the ORRA practice |
| 08:00 | Breakfast | At the house, together |
| 10:00 | Video analysis & briefing | Yesterday played back, and today's progression |
| 11:00 | Warm-up, then the water | Activation before you rig, then out in small groups |
| 17:30 – 19:00 | Back from the lagoon | Chill, drinks and social at BOHAM. Change there or shower at the house or hotel, then meet for dinner |
| 19:30 | Dinner | In the village — your own account |
Times are a guide. The schedule may shift a little each day with the wind, tide and weather, and we adjust it accordingly.
The Macapá lagoon lies just beyond those mangroves.
Gringo
Fifteen years guiding kite trips on this coast, and still on the water almost every day. He knows the delta, the mangrove channels and the tide windows the way locals know streets.
Private one-to-one lessons
Available on top of the daily group coaching, at extra cost. These must be booked in advance — on a first come, first served basis — booked directly through ORRA, and we arrange it with him before you travel.
You leave with
the footage.
You come out of this camp with real content — high-quality stills, beautiful beach club shots, and reels from your video analysis you can post as the week goes on, depending on how your riding goes that day. And the analysis itself gives you a far clearer idea of what your body needs and where to make the changes.
On the water, every day
A photographer and videographer with the group all week — on the beach and on the water.
Video analysis each morning
Video of each rider played back and talked through with the coaches, so you can see where to make the changes and where to push next.
Shared as we go
Edited stills and clips shared with the group each day — yours to post, print and keep. Please tag @orraglobal and juniqua, along with the photographers and any other partners from the day.
Please note: edited photographs, or video filmed of you individually, come at an extra cost. Let us know in advance and we will arrange it and confirm the cost with you.
Bring your own.
Try ours.
ORRA is the official movement, performance and recovery partner to juniqua — gear designed around how women actually ride.
Please bring your own complete gear. Demo gear will be available to try on the lagoon during the week.
How the week ends
Cacao ceremony
We close the week the way we open the mornings — together, quiet, with intention. Ceremonial cacao.
The awards
Recognising the week each of you had.
Dinner
A long table, local food, and sharing in all of your achievements for the week.
Prizes and giveaways from our brand partners on the night, discount codes on purchases created specifically for this camp, and access to every ORRA social event and social club through 2027.

Safety & liability
Kitesurfing carries inherent risk of injury. Every rider signs a waiver and completes a health questionnaire before arriving, and participation is voluntary and at the rider's own risk.
ORRA Global delivers the movement and recovery programme. Travel and medical insurance covering kitesurfing is mandatory for every rider.
Riders who are not self-sufficient will unfortunately not be considered for this camp — we will be hosting camps for beginners at a later stage. Coaches may shorten, move or cancel any session on safety grounds.
Tas Khan
Pushing my body has always come naturally. Recovering is what I had to learn.
I did not come to this from sport alone. I came from medicine, property law and real estate, but sport runs in my family. My grandfather was a well-known footballer in South Africa, my mother swam for South Africa, and my grandmother used sport to teach children in her community discipline and self-belief. I have boxed, run ultramarathons, done yoga since childhood and trained with strength and mobility coaches. Alongside that came the inner work: Louise L. Hay’s You Can Heal Your Life, Dr John Demartini, mentors, and walking eight metres of hot coals. Losing my parents taught me to find the tools to understand my own mind and body.
When kiting came along, I wanted to keep running, hiking, snowboarding and doing yoga too. Nobody was teaching how to recover from all of it, so I studied, worked with coaches and built the ORRA Ride Ready Method™. It changed how I train, ride and recover.
ORRA is a movement house that travels, because I travel. I partnered with juniqua because its founder did the same with gear: she needed kites built for women, so she made them.
Exactly where I
am meant to be.
This week is how I have always wanted to teach, guide and mentor. Working with people is my path and my passion. If the week changes something for you, even in a small way, it has done what I built it to do.
Every morning starts with mobility work: hips, shoulders, lower back, hands. The group is small and women only, and most of you will arrive not knowing anyone.
I will be there all week, on the water and at every morning session. Your progression is my progression, and seeing you find what fuels you is an absolute gift.
If you want to ride better and feel better doing it, this is your week.
