Waves we couldn’t find

Friday, April 28th, 2006

We travelled the coast south, from one Brazilian town to another. After the inspiring events at Ilha do Mel, not only she wanted to get into the water, I also wondered about a board to ride.

A guest from Toronto

Hi guys,

Here is a little testimonial of my experience at your surf camp:

“Being a seasonal surfer, I was a bit apprehensive about riding in Costa

boosting my confidence; by sharing their knowledge level and their
diligence to surfing, I was introduced to new extents if this fabulous
life style, which opened my world to it enabling me to experience deeper
realms of surfing.”

Just returned from a longer travel, where the waves were big, the sun bright and the time timeless, we all would fell the desperate need to return to the beach.
