No Limits

Sun tan lotion. Surfboard wax. Sand. Singles. Surf. Yoga. Palm trees. What a combination! A co-ed surf camp on the island of Maui. Can you picture yourself mingling with other healthy, adventure seeking, like minded individuals while indulging in a surf and yoga retreat? Who needs potential romance while situated in paradise? Why not stay at home instead and try another blind date?

For those of you who are still determined to attend a co-ed surf camp, here are some other reasons to make you think twice:

Reason #1 You can meet other people with similar interests. Do you really need to meet other people with similar interests? Who needs more friends of either gender? Who has time for surfing with friends from all over the world? You may even want to catch up with them or go on vacation with them next year. What a drag!

Reason #2 You may meet your new love on a wave. Going to a co-ed surf camp could give you the potential to meet other singles or your true love. Could you picture yourself meeting other eligible singles in surf lessons and yoga sessions? Relaxing, unwinding, eating delicious meals…what an aphrodisiac! Imagine meeting other singles that already have a common interest for adventure, health and well-being.

Reason #3 A healthy environment to meet like-minded single people. Do you really want to pack up all your single friends and head off to a surf camp in Hawaii? Sun, sand, surf, singles, what a hideous combination. Wouldn’t you be better off trusting your luck at a singles bar with total strangers? Why would you be hoping to meet other singles at a surf and yoga retreat when you can sit behind a computer and try to meet singles? Does this mean that your mom will stop trying to set you up with her friend’s grown children?

Florianopolis is an island in the state of Santa Catarina state in south Brazil. Florianopolis island has 42 different beaches, most are quite beautiful and many of them have great surf. This article gives a brief overview of each surfing beach, showing its name, overall rating for surf, the direction of the surf break, and the type of surf break, such as beach break, point break, river mouth, etc.

PRAIA MOLE SURF BEACH

Anyone who has visited Florianopolis knows that Praia Mole beach is the best year-round location on the island. Literally translated, “Praia Mole” means “soft beach” and is named so due to its extremely soft and deep sand. Praia Mole beach is centrally & conveniently located on the east coast of the island and is popular for its abundant beautiful people and great surfing. It is also popular because of its convenient location, being very near to the town of Lagoa da Conceicao, where you’ll find a majority of the island’s bars, restaurants, gift shops, grocery stores, ATMs, a gas station, and one of the best nightclubs on the island.

The surf on Praia Mole is known as being stronger than most other beaches, which suits the surfers just fine but can be dangerous for inexperienced swimmers during days with large surf. Surf can range anywhere from 0 feet to 20 foot faces during the winter months. For weak swimmers and children, the north end of the beach offers a protected cove where the water is always calm and swimming is safe even on some of the largest days of surf. On the beach at Praia Mole, you’ll find a volley ball net, a juice bar, a VIP lounge area, and 6 different restaurants that double as beach bars. During the summer months (Dec – Feb) these bars will either have a live DJ spinning or at least have loud music because Brazilians love to dance whenever the opportunity presents itself. There always seems to be some action going on at Praia Mole beach.

It’s perfectly acceptable and, actually, highly recommended to take a surfing lesson when you’re just picking up the sport. You might think surfing is logical and that you will have the natural ability to pick it up right away, but the reality is that surfing is a very awkward sport when you first start out and there are tons of little tips that you can acquire only from a surf instructing professional.

Surf lessons can be private or in groups and last for about an hour. You will likely ride on a completely foam board that is nearly 10 feet long and very lightweight, which catches waves easily and gives you a lot of float. Most surf schools guarantee that you will stand up on a wave. If you don’t, you can usually come back for another lesson for free until you do. It might appear unnecessary and dorky, but a beginning surf lesson will likely accelerate your surfing ability more than the trial and error of learning on your own. If you go it alone, your learning curve will likely be slower, more painful, and in some cases more dangerous.

Another thing you must keep in mind is that friends who surf are not the same as surf instructors. Some of your friends may have been surfing for years, but if you ask them to go surfing with you to help you learn, they could well be worse than your least favorite middle school teacher. You and your experienced surfing friends might paddle out together, but your friends might leave you treading water at the lineup while they’re catching all the waves.
