Listen intently to Roger and Antonio and you'll learn about, and just maybe, if you can find it in yourself, embody the virtues of soul surfing.

All while soaking in the last modern utopia and veritable wave pool, Floripa.

This humble culture lends itself to the siesta lifestyle, so as to live two days in one.

The best days you can live.

Can't wait to surf the Magic Island island again.

From the moment i got there my expectations were surpassed immediately.The hotel is stunning, beautiful and calm, the property enormous with thousands of orchids and trees and flowers everywhere. All the people i met that were affiliated with the surf camp or the hotel were great, always with a smile and always with good vibes and stories to share.

And then there is Antonio and Roger. Antonio took me to all the places i needed to see and experience with the expertise and knowledge that only a local can give. The time he spent with me, showing me everything, introducing me to people and just hanging out and surfing and having a laugh, i can't thank him enough. Roger helped me learn everything about surfing that only a pro can teach. He put me in all the right places to catch the best waves and on my final day on Praia Mole i caught some wicked rides from the biggest and fastest waves i have surfed in my life and that was an amazing feeling.

The beaches are stunning, the women are so unbelievably beautiful that its pointless for me to try explain and the place itself is naturally so breathtaking that i always caught myself just appreciating how fucking amazing everything was!! I met a bunch of great people, surfed the best waves of my life and only hope to return as soon as i can.

in the words of Roger: "Good friends, good surf, thanks god!

What can I say? This surf camp had it all! Amazing location, amazing waves and amazing people. Antonio was the host with the most and did everything to entertain and make us feel like Praia Mole was a home away from home. Of course it was nothing like home(thank God), it was more like a surfers paradise with endless breaks to choose from!

My surf instructor Roger was the coolest, most energetic, most golden guy you could ever wish to meet and taught me so much about surfing. His constant encouragement and eagerness to see me progress was unreal and thanks to his words of wisdom, my surfing improved heaps.

Roger's boundless energy and unique expressions kept us forever entertained and he alone would make me go back again and again and again. Antonio and Roger make an unbeatable combination and when you mix this with the beauty of Florianopolis and the quality of the breaks, you cannot fail to fall in love with this place. Thanks to the guys for making it such a special trip."

This surfcamp was excellent in every way! The instructors, the wide range of glass boards to choose from, the beautiful beaches and of course the waves that were surf-able every day! Roger is the most enthusiastic instructor I`ve ever met. Even when you`re having a really bad day, his always uplifting comments still keep you stoked. When I was ready for the next level, Antonio took me to the outer waves, where the big Kahunas break. I never thought I would be able to surf these, but Antonio kept lining me up in the perfect spot and after some punishment I surfed Praia Mole North, outer section (faces 2-4 meter). Guys, I`m still grateful for that.

At night, Antonio takes you in Jabiraca (the surf van) Antonio, please correct these part if i`ve not spelled the name of your baby correctly] to all the nightclubs on the island, which are great. I`ve never seen so many beautiful girls together in one club (except in Amsterdam) and most of them are really willing to help you with your Portuguese. Further more, the hotel is very nice with good service and personal that make you feel really welcome. Ilha de Santa Catarina and Praia Mole are one of those fine spots on earth you would like to keep a secret to the rest of the word, a sweet little paradise.

I came to Floripa on a whim with no real plan other than to chill out. Meeting Antonio was truly chance working its magic. He enlisted my friend and I into his band of brothers with a casual smile and I jumped in Jabiraca to cruise the island. I ended up moving to the Brazil Surf Camp that day.

The best way to describe Florianopolis is paradise. I had high hopes for the beach, but the nightlife was equally impressive. The nightclubs and bars are an amazing time. There is a vibe on the island that truly injects energy. The women are among the most beautiful in the world. Meeting Antonio was huge because he is as connected as anyone in Florianopolis – local knowledge at its best.

In short my endorsement goes well beyond the surf.

Ciao! Sono stata a Floripa solo due giorni, ma è sembrata una infinità. Dal sito Internet il posto sembrava meraviglioso, dal vero è ancora più incredibile? l?isola è stupenda, il Brasil Surf Camp molto bello e tranquillo, le persone gentilissime. Antonio è presente per qualsiasi cosa abbiate bisogno ed è pronto ad inventarsi nuove attività da fare e posti da vedere. Non ci si può annoiare!

Ho fatto solo due giorni di lezioni di surf col mitico Roger ed eccomi in piedi sulla tavola! Wow Roger è veramente capace di trasferirti lo spirito del surf ed è una persona di gran cuore.

Insomma se vi piace il surf, se volete un paesaggio stupendo e sentirvi accolti e coccolati il surf camp merita veramente.. basta vedere la statua all?ingresso del villaggio per capire dove siete!

Buon divertimento!
