Nexus Surf Brazil : Learn to Surf Tours

So you've always wanted to learn to surf, or maybe you've just Started out and want to take your skills to the next level learning from the pros? You've come to the right place, because your Brazil Surf Experience™ includes everything you need to get you started and riding waves in no time in a fun, comfortable and safe learning environment.

Perfect learning conditions are key to making surfing fun from the start and Florianopolis is blessed with several incredible beginners' beaches with gentle waves that are perfect for practicing your technique and getting accustomed to paddling and the feeling of catching waves for the first time. One of these beaches, Galheta, is located just in front of Nexus' accommodations, and several others, including Barra da Lagoa, are just a few minutes away. We know the beaches of Florianopolis inside and out, and will scope out each day which beach has the ideal break appropriate to your level of surfing. Another plus is that much of the year Florianopolis has warm water temperature so that you can surf with no wetsuit if you prefer.

Professional and personalized instruction will be provided daily. Our instructors are professionally certified and have undergone an intensive surf instructor training program. In addition, all instructors are fluent in English so there won't be any communication barriers during the learning process. We believe that you should learn from the best, and as such, all our instructors were handpicked for their surf ability. However, we also know that it takes much more than raw ability to make a good teacher – that takes dedication, patience, understanding of the fundamentals of the sport and the ability to communicate all of this in a fun and friendly manner. That is why we make sure our instructors not only rip at surfing, but that they will be the best possible teachers for you as well. The ratio of surfers to instructors in the Nexus program is always kept low so that you are guaranteed to get all the personal attention and guidance you need. Knowledge and technique are central to the Nexus beginner surfing curriculum and are what we believe sets us apart as an unparalleled way to learn and enjoy the sport of surfing. Each day prior to hitting the water you will be presented with key information about surfing, including surf etiquette, tide and ocean conditions, water safety instruction as well as several clinics on selecting the right equipment for your ability and particular surf conditions. We want you to start off your surfing experience with all the information you need to be a well-informed and knowledgeable surfer as this will both increase your enjoyment of the sport and decrease the time it takes for you to reach your full potential as a surfer. Your instructors will also spend a great deal of time with you teaching and helping you improve your technique, including paddling form, board balance, wave positioning, dropping in, getting to your feet, and once you're comfortable with that, more advanced topics such as carving and cutbacks.

Safety is central to everything we do at Nexus. In addition to the safety instruction you will receive prior to entering the water and having direct supervision from certified instructors at all times, you can be assured that you will never be put in conditions that are beyond your skill level. We also will make sure to match you with the appropriate equipment and correct-sized surf board depending on your size and skill to make sure you get the most enjoyment out of surfing from your very first day in the water. Fun and comfortable learning environment for you to learn in. After all, fun is what you are here for! Everyone at Nexus is passionate about surfing, and we hope to share that passion with you. Surfing is an incredible sport, one that can stay with you for your entire life. In addition to being exhilarating like nothing else, surfing is also amazing exercise that will help you lose weight and build and tone muscles, all the while being outside and immersed in nature. Many of our guests have told us that their Brazil Surf Experience™ was the best investment they ever made, because not only did they have an incredible week of surf, sun and partying while with us, but also discovered a passion for surfing that will last them a lifetime.
