Summary:
We had so much fun on our One Carioca Day hike we decided to return for a surf lesson. Gabriel was a great teacher and took us to a really fun, less crowded beach. The waves were pretty solid. The ocean was beautiful but a bit chilly so thankfully we had wetsuits. After surfing we saw and awesome view of the city. This was a very unique experience in Rio and we are so happy we did it !
