About the adventure

Located on the Cocoa Coast, in southern Bahia, the small town of Itacaré offers surf, paradise beaches, waterfalls and all the joy of Bahia. Known as “The Hawaii of Brazil”, this city has been frequented by surfers since the '80s and is currently a place where people go to connect with nature's tropical climate and an average temperature of 27 degrees.

 

Surf School Bahia Brazil

 

The Surf School offers to everyone who wants to have the experience of surfing, a program with 12 days of surf lessons with experienced instructors, who will adapt to your surf level, held on our daily pick of the stunning surf beaches. Each lesson consists of approximately 4 hours on the beach, not counting headquarters preparation time nor trips to and from the beaches, and in small, same-level groups with a guaranteed minimum ratio of 1 instructor per 3 students, in order to get you maximum individual learning progress during your surf course. Besides, you'll learn about waves, tide, swell, currents, peaks, rules, surf lingo etc., in our complete Surf Manual that you will receive by email.

 

Surf School Bahia Brazil

 

Please note that we require a minimum of 4 surfing days (not counting Sundays which are off, nor arrival and departure dates so as to avoid conflicts with flight schedules), because we believe that 4 days only is already a very short number of lessons to actually learn something from the beginning or even to correct something, and thus it is our minimum limit for acceptance of a course duration in order to develop a good job on our part.

To further accelerate learning success, the surf lessons from Monday to Friday are filmed with digital equipment by our cameraman. The video is watched and analyzed in seminars (Mon-Fri) that usually happens at the Surf School headquarter right after the practical lesson, with an average duration between 1h and 1.5h. These seminars are taught by one of the instructors who will comment on the waves and pinpoint corrections, setting individual goals for the next day.

    The surf experience was incredible!

    September 19, 2022

    Amazing. The surf experience was incredible! Sadly we didn’t have time do it for more days. The school is really good, the instructors are professional and they are many, so there is always someone helping you. In 3 days we were already taking our first waves. Itacaré is a paradise. Many wonderful beaches, one more beautiful than the other, especially the one that we had the lessons. To get there we had to walk through a trail in the middle of the jungle. Big thanks to PlanetaEXO to give us this experience!

    Excellent surf school and people

    March 15, 2022

    I’ve been to about 10 surf schools around the world and this one is by far the best! They follow a very clear system and training approach that has been proven to produce results. You meet at 7 am at school and drive to the beach. You carry your own board on a beautiful walk (10-15 minutes) and then you wax and apply your sunscreen.

    Right after 8 am you start a ~20-minute stretch and another ~20-minute floor training. Around 9 am you leave for the first hour of surfing and then come back for brunch. You go again around 10:30 / 11:00 for another hour of surfing before heading back. When you arrive at school, you go to class to watch videos of your surfing and find out what you’re doing well and what needs improvement. The videos are extremely helpful as you really understand your mistakes as you can see whereas most other schools don’t offer this. You finish sometime between 1 pm and 2 pm depending on how many people are in the class.

    Commit to at least 4 days to really see the benefit. If you persist and commit, you can surf alone after about 10 lessons. Do not do more than 2 consecutive days as it is very tiring.

    I highly recommend this experience!!!

    A super professional surf school. The professors are great and very patient with every level of surfing. The classes included a video that helps you to understand your mistakes. The beach where they take you is beautiful and I highly recommend this experience!!!

    An unforgettable trip!

    September 13, 2021

    I surfed a few times in my life, but my girlfriend had never surfed. We found this experience by chance and thought it would be interesting to incorporate a sporty and different (one-week) routine into the holidays. In the service, we were very polite and clearly indicated the route of classes, accommodation, schedules, etc. Afterward, we met the team of instructors and headed out to sea. Really, it is incomparable with other ‘surf schools’. An unforgettable trip, we will be back for sure!

    August 10, 2021

    I had the opportunity to learn to surf and whenever I can I come back for more lessons. The service is impeccable, the instructors are very good and patient, the structure and equipment are great and Itacaré is incredible! It will be a complete and memorable experience!

    Their methodology is incredible.

    May 20, 2021

    The best surf school without a doubt. I had never picked up a board and in a few days, I was surfing alone. Their methodology is incredible. The experience goes beyond learning to surf, catching good waves, and taking good photos. It’s a time to have fun, make good friends and enjoy a paradise called Bahia. I recommend!

    I caught a wave on the first day.

    May 20, 2021

    I had never surfed before and the team was very attentive from the first contact. With the guidelines, I caught a wave on the first day. Video classes make it possible to see what needs to improve to evolve. The weather at sea is great, the instructors are very nice and the classes are super fun. I felt safe and encouraged to practice. I came back lighter! Thank you, family!

    The teachers are very competent.

    April 25, 2021

    I spent 2 weeks taking classes and they were great! The teachers are very competent, they help a lot and the video analysis is fundamental in the identification of errors and evolution in surfing. I plan to come back soon!

    Team came with great joy and patience

    April 5, 2021

    I took my first 4 classes in April 2021 and I just have to thank and congratulate the work of the whole team! From the first visit, I felt at home, and completing the sea team came with great joy and patience and taught me my first steps in surfing! I’ll be back soon guys…..Aloha!

    The best surf school I've ever been to

    January 15, 2021

    I’ve tried many surf lessons before, in Brazil and Latin America and this was the best by far. From getting you ready in advance, transparent and fast communication, professional instructors and great customer service. That’s why I came back 3x! Thank you so much for the good vibes and laughter!

    I made huge progress every day!

    September 20, 2019

    I only spent four days in the surf school but I made huge progress every day. The instructors are all very competent and friendly. As a total newby you first learn all the basics and the safety measures. Soon you will enter the “white water” (area where the waves are broken already) to train your first steps and stand-ups on the board. It was fun from the beginning and you continously get valuable feedback. The video analysis is very helpful to see your (and also other’s) errors. Seeing yourself on the board helps tremendous for improving your position.

    Tobias Koller

    I highly recommend it

    September 5, 2019

    It is a very professional school: good surfers, good teachers, good admin team. I highly recommend it. The video analysis helps to improve the techniques, no matter the surfing level you have, and the instructors are quite dedicated.

    Incredible team of surfing teachers

    September 1, 2019

    I thought it was something more informal and I found an incredible team of surfing teachers who were very attentive to everything and especially to my 8-year-old son!!

    The company rock!

    August 7, 2019

    I have been to the school surf 3 times and I will go again. I am a chemistry professor at a major university in my early 50s, and I love the place. Your surfing will improve. Why? 1) The instructors have a well conceived method to teach you; 2) They do a good job to match you to the proper equipment; 3) The beaches offer good waves for all surfing levels; 4) The video sessions are extensive and well executed. On top of this, the town is a blast, the people are friendly, the beaches are beautiful, and the food is great. And most of all, the team is very friendly, and this gives an emotional bond to your trip that you will never forget. The owner is very smart, and he has done a great job to make it one of the best surf camps around. I always recommend them to anyone who surfs and those that want to get started. The company rock!

    They provide an excellent experience to learners

    June 16, 2019

    My partner and I have a fantastic experience. They’re professional, friendly, and welcoming, and provide an excellent experience to learners. The use of video recordings and drone photography really helped to identify areas of improvement. Thanks very much.

    The surfing lessons were worth every penny!

    May 7, 2019

    If you really want to learn how to surf and if you want to improve quickly there is no better place to go than this surf school program. They will not only provide you with the necessary theoretical knowledge about surfing but also teach you depending on your current level the surfing technics you need to catch the waves even better. It doesn’t matter if you are a bloody beginner or if you have surfed before you will improve your Surfing skills a lot. I travel on a budget but to me, the surfing lessons were worth every penny!

    All the instructors are very skilled and professional

    May 2, 2019

    I only did one lesson despite the minimum of the course being 4 classes; I did not have enough time to complete the 4-day course. Even so, it was an amazing experience. All the instructors are very skilled and professional. I could improve my pop-up technique and started to turn on the wave in the right way for the first time. The beach where I took the lesson is extremely stunning and perfect for beginner earners. After approximately 4 hours of class, returning to the surf shop place, there was a review of the session by video (recorded during your lesson at the beach), at this moment additional teaching and corrections of posture/techniques were done in order to improve your skill. I could not recommend it more. I had a great experience!
