The best surfing in Brazil

You’re not traveling thousands of miles from home to go surfing in Brazil on an average break. Here in Florianopolis (or Floripa, as the city is affectionately known by locals), the surf capital of Brazil and host of South America's only WCT pro surf tour event, Nexus has exactly what you’re looking for. Surfing in Florianopolis means consistent swell, great shape, incredible variety and a culture that lives and breathes surfing – you won’t find a truer surfer’s paradise anywhere in the world or a better backdrop for a truly unforgettable surf holiday in Brazil.

The most beautiful beaches you’re likely to have ever seen. Forty-two of them on the island of Florianopolis alone, not to mention the countless surf spots and pristine beaches nearby on the continent that Nexus provides you total access to.  With Nexus you will have your choice of everything from deserted breaks where the only competition for waves will be an occasional dolphin passing by, to vibrant beaches packed beautiful people and offering the best Brazilian culture has to offer, in and out of the water. Hands down, no other Brazil surfing trip can offer the variety of a Florianopolis surf vacation.

Surfing in Florianopolis is just the beginning of the fun

VIP access to some of South America’s best nightlife. Brazil is famous for its parties and your Nexus surf holiday in Florianopolis includes the option of guided VIP access and shuttle service to the hottest bars, clubs and restaurants in Floripa. Our relationships with local hotspots mean that you can enjoy the very best of Florianopolis nightlife in class and style while our Nexus nightlife guides take care of everything from escorting you to the club and getting you in without waiting in line to setting up bottle service at your VIP table and getting the festivities going strong. So why limit yourself to a run-of-the-mill Florianopolis surf camp when with Nexus your daytime surf adventures are just the beginning of the action.

Access to a tremendous variety of diversions and extreme sport adventures in addition to the best surf in Brazil. We're talking about yoga, sandboarding, paragliding, snorkeling, hiking, river rafting, horseback riding, island tours, massage therapy, windsurfing, kitesurfing, Brazilian jiu jitsu and more. All of these options are at your fingertips with Nexus, ensuring that your Brazil surf holiday is action packed both in and out of the water.

Immersion into vibrant and exotic Brazilian culture. In addition to world-class Florianopolis surfing and incredible nightlife, with Nexus you’ll also get a true insider’s view into vibrant and exotic Brazilian culture, everything from samba dancing and Carnaval to local cuisine and caipirinhas, historical and cultural sites, city tours and more. Much more than a simple Brazil surf camp, Nexus provides you with a glimpse of what it really means to catch the Brazilian vibe.

Deluxe beachfront accommodations in the very best location on the island, Praia Mole beach. With Nexus you will stay in private residences in the very best location on the island of Florianopolis, directly in front of two world-class surfing beaches (Praia Mole and Galheta). From here you will be walking distance to the stunning Lagoa da Conceição lagoon and just minutes away by car from several other incredible surfing breaks as well as the charming Lagoa town center where you will find everything you need during your stay in Florianopolis, including fantastic dining and nightlife options, shops and boutiques, banks, supermarkets, post office, pharmacies and more. Your Florianopolis surf holiday with Nexus also means amenities you won’t often find in Brazil (particularly not at any other Brazil surf camp!), such as air conditioning, wireless high speed internet access, international phonelines, cable tv, private backyards with BBQ area and more. So forget the notion of sharing bunk beds at a run-of-the-mill surf camp in Brazil because Nexus will make sure your Florianopolis vacation is set up in comfort and style from start to finish.

The Florianopolis vacation of a lifetime

A hassle free week in paradise, with every last detail taken care of. The strength of our business is built on repeat customers and word of mouth advertising, so leave it to Nexus to take care of every last detail to ensure that your time with us in Florianopolis is the vacation of a lifetime. We’re talking personalized airport pickup (a Nexus host will greet you just outside of the baggage claim area), access to transportation (both to and from day and night time activities with our Nexus guides, as well as your own rental car so that you can be independent and explore the island on your own should you choose to do so), daily guided surf excursions or surfing lessons (depending on your ability level) to enjoy the best surf in Floripa on and around the island, breakfast service delivered to your residence daily, guided VIP nightlife, massage therapy, diversions and extreme sport adventures, local cell phone to help you stay in touch, city tours, cultural excursions and more. The hardest thing about your Florianopolis holiday with Nexus will be having to leave when your vacation is up!

Safety. Not only will you be safe in the water while surfing in Florianopolis with our highly trained and professional surf guides, who know exactly where to take you to maximize your surf experience based on your level of surf expertise, you’ll also be safe outside the water as well. While the largest cities in Brazil, such as Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, are plagued by crime and have received plenty of negative press as a result, Florianopolis is the capital of Santa Catarina, one of the richest states in Brazil, and there is virtually no crime on the island. Locals often leave their doors unlocked, kids play in the streets and residents hitchhike (and get picked up!) regularly because it’s that safe, so what better destination for your Brazil vacation . Brazilians as a whole are incredibly friendly and are quick to open their arms to foreign tourists, so bring a positive attitude and a healthy dose of curiosity and your vacation in Florianopolis with Nexus will include not only the waves and time of your life, but most likely new friendships that will themselves last a lifetime. So travel to Brazil with the pros and leave the details to Nexus!
