Kitesurf
Atins is a perfect place to learn kitesurfing – shallow waters for the first lessons and an extensive stretch of sandbank for more advanced lessons.
Add to this the pleasant temperature of the water, the constant wind, the absence of waves and one of the best instructors in the region, Thiago Henrique de Alencar*.
