Want to dream away and experience the relaxed surf lifestyle in Rio de Janeiro, where you can most likely surf every day, get inspired and meet new people, or work with an ocean view while keeping up to date with the surf conditions? The relaxed, open-minded surf lifestyle combined with the supportive, inspiring, energetic, colourful, warm, and lively culture of Rio de Janeiro, is extraordinary.  I’ve visited many places as a solo traveler, and nothing felt so uplifting like Rio.

HIGLIGHTS

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!
