Paddle Surf in Rio

River surfing is a new activity developed by Kalahari. It´s a new and easy sport which is perfect for all ages and physical conditions.
You go down the river on a surfboard. A paddle helps you to influence and to propel the board.
This variation results from “Stand Up Paddle” which is a special type of Hawaiian surfing and which is very popular at the greatest beaches all around the world.
If you have the surface of the water close under your feet it feels like walking on water. This form promises a new perspective on the river and its banks. Which is different than in the kayak or raft because you aren´t just a few inches above the surface of the water.
You don’t need any special sense of balance because our boards are very wide so you can stand up easily.
The part of the river we are riding on is very calm so it´s easy to handle the board. The section of the river is about 6 km so you need about 1.5 to 2 hours for this tour (a very short time because the river surfing is really funny and refreashing).
We also organize camps with duration of 5 days to learn further techniques in different types of water.
