“Imagine a place with tropical climate where you paddle between islands
with crystal clear water and beautiful spots of deserted and paradise
beaches; a place where you can paddle on sheltered waters or open water
with turbulent flow.You can even surf on perfect waves. A place for paddlers
of all levels.
“Believe me, I have found this place. It is situated in
the state of Santa Catarina, in the region of Porto
Belo, Brazil. At least twice a year I go rowing in this
region and each stroke is always a great surprise.
Sometimes, I find dolphins, other time sea turtles
and have had pleasure of seeing penguins.
“I have not had the luck to see whales yet.
Although it is not common, I know they usually
go through this region.

“Because of all this I reported I will come back
soon and bring some friends with me, so, they
will know more about my favourite place to
paddle.

“I would like to invite all paddlers to come and
know this paradise. I am sure, you will be
amazed.“
