Excellent experience! Must do!

Jorge_R, Mar 2026

Excellent experience and highly recommend! Diego is awesome and a great instructor, consider him a friend now! He is very knowledgeable in his craft and was able to ride a couple waves with his guidance! He even showed me around a couple nice beaches around town after the lesson! A must do when in Rio! Make sure to add on the photographer to the experience that goes and takes great action shots!
