PRESENTATION

SUBAUMA

90 km north of Salvador de Bahia, Subaùma is a charming little fishermen’s village with a festive welcoming ambience where it feels good to be.

Salvador da bahia
The black pearl of Brazil -

It was the ex-capital of Brazil until 1763, also called Bahia because it was built on the banks of the famous bay of Todos Bone Santos (all saints), thus named because it was discovered on All Saints day in 1501 by Amerigo Vespucci. The residents believe it to be Brazil’s town of happiness. It’s true that it releases an infinite lightness from living there.

Founded 50 years later by Tomé de Souza, Salvador de Bahia is the mother-city of Brazil and the most charged in history of the country.
Classified in Humanity’s world Inheritance repertory by the UNESCO, it certainly offers the most beautiful Brazilian colonial architecture’s academy.

Between Low City harbour and the High commercial city (joined by the public elevator “Lacerda”) the town is flowering in churches, convents, forts and patricians residencies.

It's the Brazilian city which preserves the most African roots. It’s an opportunity to discover the "capoeira", an inherited slave fight-dance with monk rituals("candomblés") from Africa. It is the birthland of the writer Jorge Amado. It shelters wonders from baroque (church Sao Francisco, church Carmo).
As everywhere else on the North-East coast, one could not forget the splendid beaches which extend for tens of kilometres in the north of Salvador. Its climate being soft all year long, makes it a privileged stage for seaside breaks.
The exotic image that we've got of Brazil perhaps specifies itself here, in this surprising and attaching town. Bahia is to live intensely wiht unconsciousness and happiness.

Dida Pelourinho's training, located in the heart of the city will certainly please men knowing that the percussionists are female. This happens Every Thursdays at Pelourinho (Bahia Centre).

In centre town, you’ll discover the colonial centre of "Pelourinho" district, which has many baroque churches. I recommend you to visit the famous churches: São Francisco's (gold church), Senhor do Bonfim, Nossa Senhora da ConceiBahianasPraia and Nossa Senhora da Boa Viagem and try not to miss the famous "Mercado Modelo" (a craft market with Bahians people in traditional dresses).
Get tempted by the craft jewels as well as tasting small local dishes (vatapa, acarajé, caruru, etc.).

Surf School  

BAHIASURFCAMP's instructors teach by the most modern and complete surf teaching program in the world, the 'Australia Coach Program'.

The training program, that has its beginning with basic security rules, history, introduction and equipment, will be ministered by a professional team of surfers trained to offer the best and most precise information for your evolution in the sport. From the evaluation made in the first lesson, a program will be destined for each pupil according to his or her apprenticeship needs.

The limit of pupils in the Camp, as well as in the course, will be of fourteen surfers, what grants a safe and individual attendance by our staff in all situations.

Divided in groups of the same level of evolution all the basic points will be introduced and trained, in gradual and logical steps, in order to have a good practical notion by the end of the course.

Steps that vary, from educational exercises, like falling correctly, control of positioning on the board and correct paddling will be reviewed and trained frequently along the days.

For pupils with a more advanced level, a special program of improvement of maneuvers and movements is offered, with specific boards for each pupil and depending on his or her level, basic knowledge in competitions.

The variety and excellent quality of the boards and equipment offered by the school guarantee that your learning will be even more optimized as the lessons occur.

With the natural experience developed along the many years of surfing of the instructors, associated to the current and safe techniques of the Program, the pupil will have the best there is to develop him or herself well in the sport.

Aiming to optimize and to guarantee our guests the learning process, a PHYSICAL CONDITIONING PROGRAM was developed for you to follow before your Trip. The surfing practice demands a lot of the back and arms during the paddling and we know that your success in the course strongly depends on your fitness level in the water. The ability in other sports as Skiing, Skating and Snowboarding help, however they are not determinative for a better performance in the course. So in order to obtain the desired final result, click on the Link and follow the program, for at least 02 (two) weeks before your trip.
