Hey Anderson there are several schools about. There is one on Leblon beach but i would head to Barra da Tijuca as they have much better waves. You can get to Barra by car/ bus/ taxi and it is about 10- 15 minutes from Leblon with no traffic. You can also check out Arpoador there are a lot of surfers there, and in behind this beach there is a shopping centre that is mainly surfshops and here you will be able to get all the info you need.

Answered by Casa Beleza , Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Hi there! The best surfing near Rio is about an hour outside the city, but I think it is worth the trip to the beaches of Recreio and Prainha. There is a surf bus from Rio that will take you out there - www.surfbus.com.br. On their site you can see pictures of some of the beautiful waves on offer!

Once you are there, get in touch with Rio Surf and Stay who have lessons, board rentals and even accommodation if you want to stay a few days. www.riosurfnstay.com

Have fun, good luck with the surfing!

Best thing is for you to either catch the surf bus (www.surfbus.com.br) which will take you to th ebest beaches: Prainha, etc or any bus going to barra da Tijuca: there, on the beach you will find small surf schools that also rent boards.
