Makani Kite & Wake Rio

Makani Kite & Wake offers kite and wakeboard sessions in Rio de Janeiro, with exclusive boats, certified instructors and, according to its website, a prime location. Its Google listing places it on Rua Sá Ferreira in Copacabana (Urca beach), with 5/5 from over 300 reviews.

Fragile listing: the website is a JavaScript app of which only the description tags could be read; formats, prices, hours and exactly how the kite sessions work (boat-towed or from the beach) are unverified. Book via the website or WhatsApp.
