Highlights
- We like to keep small groups to maintain a cozy atmosphere and provide higher-quality surf classes. This also makes it easier to take guests to must-see attractions and hidden gems. The accommodation is a quiet place, but just a few steps away, there are bars where you can socialize, offering you the best of both worlds.
- Overall, unlike in most hostels where you might feel like just another guest, we aim to personally connect with everyone and provide the best and safest experience at the surf retreat. We will be present throughout your stay to ensure this and we are super excited to be your hosts!

Program
A typical day will look like this; waking up in front of the ocean, having an amazing breakfast while observing the conditions and surfers, getting your mind already in the right place for your morning surfing, surf class, having lunch in one of the kiosks at the ocean or the local self-service restaurant to explore typical Brazilian dishes or simply your self-prepared meal. Your well-deserved and needed relaxation time can be spent laying in the hammock or crossing the street to relax at the beach, go for a beautiful hike trail, or watch the beautiful sunset.
Mostly, your surf class will be between 8 a.m. and 12 p.m. but it will depend on the conditions on that day; the team wants to make sure you catch waves as much as possible! The day trip to Christ the Redeemer will depend on the weather.
