Surfunterricht bei Arpoador in Ipanema

Great location to learn to surf. First time for us, but great explanations and help from the friendly instructors.

My son and I had this experience for the first time, and the class was super fun and didactic.

We had our first family experience, and the lesson was so much fun. The water was beautiful, the sea conditions were perfect, and the instructors were very attentive and gave everyone plenty of attention.

I was so excited to do this activity because I’ve always wanted to surf. The biggest issue I had is that I was told there would be 8 people in our group and 3 instructors but there ended up being 13 people. There was no clear guidance or instruction when we actually got in the water. It’s impossible for 3 instructors to safely watch and help 13 people. I spent majority of my time in the water alone waiting on an instructor to come to me and help me catch a wave. We also had random instructors from other surf schools helping us because our instructors were occupied with other people from the class. Also, when a surfable wave is coming, we’re told to paddle and then the surfboard is pushed but I had no idea how long to paddle for or when I should actually standup to surf. My cousin isn’t a strong swimmer and she told the instructor that multiple times and she was barely paid any attention, which felt dangerous. She also had a random surfer stay with her to help which was extremely kind on their part, but not what she paid for. I think one the class has alot of potential if we would have actually stuck to the group limit.

Perfect, super explained and had a lot of fun doing it. Definitely a must-do. I didn't think it would give me so much pleasure.

My boyfriend and I booked this for our recent trip to Rio. Both of us love to surf, but it had been years since we’d been out on a board. The instructors are phenomenal! They ensure you have 1:1 feedback and the utmost safety of all surfers. We had such a fun experience we booked this again for the next day! Only wish we were in Rio longer to go surfing with them again :)

It was really great! The instructor explained it in a way everyone could understand. Might be my favorite activity in Rio de Janeiro. Again a big thanks to the instructor. He really mad it fun.

Hell yeah. I loved it . Instructor was super educated and focused on safety. Felt awesome. Had so much fun.Obrigado🤙❤️🌊

We were walking on the beach when a boy offered a surf class. We had never surfed before, but we topped up — and it was amazing! The class was super fun and we liked too much!

It was kind of a rough day for waves but the instructors were so patient and nice. We had a blast trying it out!
