Surf days:
In the morning, after enjoying breakfast amidst the lush Brazilian vegetation, your instructor will drive you by van to Madeiro Beach. The surf spot is about twenty minutes from your accommodation. There, you'll pick up your surfboard, specially designed for beginners, and your instructor will brief you on the surf conditions, entry points into the water, and how to position yourself in the whitewater zone appropriate for your skill level. They will then guide you through your first surfing experience.
To recharge after your morning activities, you'll enjoy a picnic on the beach, overlooking the sea. It's also a chance to take a well-deserved break in the sun.
The afternoon will be devoted to a second surfing lesson session on the same beach, allowing you to put the morning's advice into practice and accelerate your progress.
Back at the surf camp in the late afternoon around 4 or 5 pm, after a good shower, you will have the opportunity to share your experiences of the day by the pool or go for a walk to discover the surroundings, while waiting for aperitifs.
