Surf class Fantastic people. Jane and her people are very professional and do their best for us to learn surf. More than teachers, they are friends of their students.

The best teachers!! I had tried surfing before with little success, so I had given up for a while. Someone encouraged me to try again with Jane and her team at Meninas do mar. It was amazing! I was getting up on my first day and quickly became a surf addict. She and Zuceto are really professional teachers. They make sure they take you to the right beach with good conditions and ensure that everyone feels comfortable. The video session that they provide after is really helpful to start to make improvements. She also provides you with a rash guard, so you don't need to bring your own. I thought I was going to do the 3 day package and now I am on day 10!!! It's a great way to meet other people in town. She even made a big group dinner for us one night. Thank you Meninas do mar!! I will be back.

Best experience This surf school is absolutely amazing, the instructors are very kind and help a lot with the learning process, I took the class for 3days and they had me standing up on the 2nd day Highly recommended

Best Surfing Experience, with great Company!! My boyfriend and me were looking for a place to start surfing. Meninas do mar was recommended to us from a swiss friend! It was the best decision, we took a five day surfing course. They really taught us from the very pick, and gave us the perfect tools for starting surfing - it really worked well! They were so friendy and fun to be around with and it almost felt as visiting some old friend! Just fantastic and we hope to be back soon!

Excellent and professional teachers, lots of amazing fun Meninas do Mar is an excellent surf school that will help anyone advance to their next level, get confidence and enjoy the beauty of surfing.

I stayed at Itacare for 2 months with a target to learn how to surf, starting from zero. I had the luck to spend most of this time with Meninas do Mar. My evolution and progress passed my expectations, thanks to Jane’s and Juqueto’s teaching. They were spending time with me before the class on the beach, doing exercises that would make my body movements come more naturally on the waves. They were staying in the water throughout all the period of each class always supporting, correcting, motivating and pushing me to go to the next level. At the end of the day we would review the video of the lesson indicating all the things that needed improvement and the progress that had been made. During that time I got the necessary push from Juqueto to advance to a level in which I had the confidence to enjoy stronger waves and start seeking for more adrenaline.

The passion of Jane and Juqueto in teaching surfing is clear and for that reason they keep small group numbers. I could feel their true joy and excitement as I was improving during the period I was there.

Also, for me something very important was that with Meninas do Mar the time with them did not stop after the surf lesson. Many times I was invited at their home together with their friends and other students for dinner, the delicious Fish Moceca cooked by Juqueto. I went to Itacare alone and after few weeks I knew half of the people at the village, the best places to eat, organic markets, local producers and many other thing (when it comes to food Jane can give you the best tips).

Because of Meninas do Mar not only I made my dream of being able to surf true (at the age of 42), I enjoyed all the beauties of Itacare, I met very interesting people and I made good friends.

Best surf school in Itacaré! Can't recommended this surf school enough! The instructors are fantastic and genuinely invested in the success of each student. They keep the size of the classes small (one instructor to every 2/3 students) so they can cater well to different levels of skill. I had never surfed before and the three day course was the perfect intro. I ended up extending my stay in Itacaré to spend a week surfing with Meninas do Mar because I was making so much progress and having such a good time. Thank you Jane, Zuqueto, James, Rosie and Marcel!
