Answered by Adriana dos Santos , Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Surf and Stay in Recreio.
Answered by Lazaro Freitas , Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
People in Recreio are simply the best folks who can help you!
Answered by Erico Angelo , Fortaleza, Brazil
There are a lot of nice places to surf here. Praia do Futuro, Icaraí, Paracuru, etc. When are you coming to Fortaleza?
Answered by adam , Rio, Brazil
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 Robson Richers , Rio, 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!
Answered by GCA Global Culture Assessment , San Paulo, Brazil
Hi ! For surfing / body boarding lessons and tips I suggest you to send a message to Roberto Germano, a friend and a famous body boarder in South America, he brough the body boarding to Brazil and he has a projects of body boarding/surfing school for children and teenagers of less favoured economic classes, he does a nice work. BUT WRITE IN SPANISH, he doesn´t speak English. Tell him that Claudia gave you his contact: robertogbsp@hotmail.com . He lives in Florianopolis-Guarujá-Sao Paulo. That´s all for now, what I teach is about Brazilian culture, but in Sao Paulo.

Hello, I want to leave company for the night in Rio de Janeiro, age 20 to 30 years, friendship, someone suggests?
Answered by Polidoor Marcel De Bosschere , Porto Seguro, Brazil
anderson the best time for surfing is the summer we always have wind and waves, in the winter the water can be heavy and more for surfers with experience but more you go to the north better it will be for surfing
