classes
Currently, there are countless options for schools and professionals offering surf lessons on beaches across Brazil. Before starting your practice, make sure to check basic points such as sea conditions, your instructor’s qualifications, and the condition of the equipment to be used. For those seeking safety and quality, surf lessons are the best option for fast and efficient development. We provide surf lessons at Riviera de São Lourenço, available in both module 1 and module 8, offering private or group sessions. Additionally, we can arrange lessons at other beaches upon request. We provide options from beginner levels to advanced training, ensuring that each student receives personalized attention according to their abilities. Classes are held every day. On weekdays outside the main season, students should contact us to schedule their classes ahead of time. On weekends and holidays, our school is open and fully prepared to welcome and assist you.
surf simulator classes
Our Skate Simulator lessons cater to everyone, from complete beginners to those refining their tricks. The major advantage of the surf simulator is that, in the same time frame, you can practice movements far more frequently than during a surf session. For example, how many cutbacks can you perform in a 1-hour surf session? With 1 hour on the skate simulator, you could achieve up to 10 times the repetitions! Every movement, from generating speed to executing maneuvers, directly mirrors and translates to surfing. However, no surfing experience is necessary to enjoy the simulator. Lessons are available every day by appointment.
Surfboard Consultation
Who better to recommend the perfect surfboard than your surf instructor?
With the right board, you’ll catch more waves and progress faster. Here’s a little secret: when it comes to choosing a board, the size is often overhyped, while other important factors get overlooked!
To find your perfect board, we consider your physical characteristics, skill level, the types of waves you surf, and your unique surfing style. For instance, how much nose area do you really need? Do you rely heavily on the front of your board when dropping in? Do you use the rails a lot, or do they tend to dig in too much during turns? We’ll fine-tune the slope to find the right balance between rail thickness and the center of the board, always keeping the board’s overall volume in mind. From there, we’ll match it with the ideal width and volume to ensure stability and buoyancy for your paddling.
The shape of the tail (round, squash, etc.) and the bottom contour (concave, double concave, or hybrids) are also crucial for giving you better stability, maneuverability, and speed. These aspects are directly tied to your level of surfing! And let’s not forget the rocker—it can dramatically change the speed of your drop, the board’s stability, and how it paddles.
There are countless other factors that influence your performance in the water. Our surfboard consultation brings together the expertise of both your instructor and shaper, working in synergy to maximize your progress and enjoyment.

O Power Surf é um método voltado à evolução de surfistas intermediários e avançados, e integra três elementos de treinos: treino no solo, treinos com simulador de surfe, e análise de imagens.
Ground training
Power Surf is a method aimed at improving intermediate and advanced surfers, combining three key training elements: land-based training, surf simulator sessions, and image/video analysis.
Surf simulator
With both mental and physical training done on land, we can prepare more fully for the movements we’ll perform in the water. And practice makes perfect!
Image analysis
Video analysis of our surfing can be highly beneficial. A skilled professional can identify and communicate the next steps and movements needed to take your surfing to the next level.
Surf Trips
The Surf Clinics at Escola de Surf da Riviera are held year-round at various locations across Brazil and around the world. In Brazil, clinics have been hosted in Ubatuba, Florianópolis, Rio de Janeiro, and the North Coast of São Paulo, while internationally, we’ve explored Costa Rica and Peru with our students. We handle every detail of the trip, offering experienced coaches who ensure fun and safety at all times. Daily training sessions include guidance, video analysis, and photos throughout the trip, providing significant progress on the board. These clinics are a great opportunity for families and friends to have fun while catching great waves. The unique cultures of each location also add tremendous value to the participants, offering a broader perspective on the surfing world.
Events
An excellent option for friends, schools, or companies looking to offer diverse activities to their clients or employees. Group lessons follow the same standard methodology and are tailored according to the interests and availability of the participants. We cater to groups ranging from 10 to 50 students, maintaining the same level of quality and professionalism as a private lesson. Groups must book in advance for both weekdays and weekends. We also take care of the logistics for transportation, accommodation, and meals, allowing clients to focus solely on their enjoyment. Don’t miss this opportunity—celebrate your birthday, bring your friends or clients, and experience something different at Riviera Surf School.
