What you'll do
In this experience you will surf at the beach with the best conditions of the day for your surfing level and, after the class, I will take you to a place of unique beauty in town. So, be prepared to live Rio like a local in a fun and friendly way!
After meeting, we will explore - on a classic Land Rover Defender - the city's beautiful coastline until we find the spot with the best conditions for you. This experience is also a great opportunity to discover the , but not very touristy, beaches on the west side of Rio!
Once on the beach, we will tell the safety measures at sea, warm up and train the movement of standing on the board, first on the sand.
Once the movement is perfect we will go to the water to catch some waves!
At the end I will take you to a place of unique beauty to enjoy a view like that!
Surfing has changed my life for the better and I believe I can change yours too! So, let's go to the water?

Surfing was a game changer in my life. After quitting my job at the office, I decided to work with something that could bring me closer to the sea and the waves, so I founded my ecotourism company One Carioca Day (@onecariocaday). My job is the materialization my purpose on Earth. Being able to pass on my passion forward and share the joy that this sport promotes with my students is something extremely rewarding!
I have over 15 years of experience, of which in spent surfing in different parts of Brazil and the world (Peru, California, Indonesia, among others), I have an updated first aid course and I have taught people of all ages and nationalities the first steps of this sport incredible!

Great day of surf. I’ve been in Rio for several days and have tried to go surfing everyday only to have other surf places tell me there were not any good waves. Gabriel takes you to where the waves are good. Very fun day! So glad I found Gabriel 😄

Gabriel is an amazing surfing coach, host, and now a friend. He helped me stand up on my very first wave, took us to the best surfing spots around Rio, and found the best conditions for our experience levels. It was such a great experience that we’re going again with him this week. A must-do in Rio!

This experience was a BLAST!! I highly recommend it!! Gabriel was so attentive to the weather, the conditions, the technique, skill, warm up.. everything! He made the whole experience so much fun and I was very comfortable the whole time. I was a little nervous but I hardly thought about it because I knew he had my back the whole time. If you are even a tiny bit curious about surfing, GO TO GABRIEL! He’ll help tremendously!
