If you want to be in Rio de Janeiro and to surf there, I have also a very good friend in Rio (native carioca, but not surfer) who does speak english and know very well the beaches (Barra da Tijuca, Saquarema, etc.), he maybe could meet you up and go with you to the places of interest.....just write me, if you are interested!
Another great place to surf between Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo is Itamambuca beach in Ubatuba. Ubatuba has 50 beaches and many of them are good to surf and usually gather the surf crowd. See "Surf Ubatuba" webpage:
http://www.litoralnorte.com.br/ubatuba/surf/index.htm
Itamambuca helds an international surf competition in July which is a great ocasion to visit the place.
There are tons of cheap pousadas surf style around. Take a look at Itamambuca Eco Resort
http://www.itamambuca.com.br/<br />
- they have a spacious camping area right by the beach, there are also chalés and a high standard hotel. Leave a Comment Theme: Surfing

Unfortunately, a couple weeks after I did this an instructor and his student were killed in an accident and all tandem jumps were barred. You'll want to check with local companies to make sure they are back to jumping. Leave a Comment

Beach volley is the second most popular sport in Brazil after football.
You will find lot´s of people playing it on the big city beaches, especially late in the afternoon.
The standards can be very high at times and several of the best european and north american beach volley players spend a great deal of the year practising with the brazilians on the beaches there.

A Brazil trip is not complete without having been to a football game.
The brazilians are extremely passionate about the sport and also the best in the world at it.
Every single brazilain has a favorite footballl club even if they claim they are not that interested in the game.
If you are in Rio you also have the chance to visit one of the biggest stadiums in the world, the Maracana stadium. Leave a Comment Theme: Sports Watching

 Surf at Prainha beach by Capitao
Now, the town receives people from all parts of the country and world, moving to Itacaré looking for peace, sun and beach.
The region is cut by innumerous rivers and waterfalls and it is one of the last in Bahia presenting the Atlantic Rain Forest, one of the richest ecosystems in the world.
The whole nature of Itacaré is wonderful, but the beaches deserve special commentaries. The coast between Itacaré and Ilhéus is a succession of beaches and hills covered with and Atlantic Rain Forest. Some of them are so small and hidden that they do not show up on maps or tour guides.
Itacaré is one of the best surf points in Brazil. There are some local surf shops that rent surf boards and body-boards. However they are not always in good shape. If you are a surf lover, don’t forget your own board.
