Kitesurfing in paradise
The tiny fishing village of Cumbuco in Brazil only has about 1600 residents, but it has many more visitors every year. Indeed, Cumbuco is becoming a very popular tourist destination, but it's not for the peace and quiet that people go there; it's because it's the perfect location for an extreme sport that takes your breath away!
Kitesurfers stand on a surfboard and hold onto a special ‘kite’ with their hands. They’re pulled along by the wind, like in windsurfing; however, unlike windsurfers, kitesurfers are lifted into the air for long periods of time. This makes the sport even more dangerous than windsurfing and means that kitesurfers can encounter many difficulties.
Cumbuco is a popular destination for kitesurfers because of its perfect weather conditions and its long white sandy beach. It's always warm, with an average sea temperature of 23−25° and, more importantly, wind is practically guaranteed for most of the year.
Nevertheless, it’s really important to keep an eye on the weather. If the wind suddenly blows in the wrong direction, before long you could be flying away from the beach and land in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by sharks. Yikes!
Needless to say, anybody who wants to try kitesurfing should get lessons first. In Cumbuco, where kitesurfing is taken seriously, lessons are offered to kite surfers of all levels and experts are always on hand to help

Choose True (T) or False (F).

1 Cumbuco village has only a small permanent population. T / F
2 Most tourists go to Cumbuco because they want to rest and relax. T / F
3 According to the text, windsurfing and kitesurfing are equally dangerous. T / F
4 Cumbuco is well liked by kite surfers because of its climate. T / F
5 Constant professional support for kite surfers is available in Cumbuco. T / F
