Bodyboarding School

Classes conducted by professional athletes

Uri Valadão Bodyboarding School is a good option for those who want to have an experience in the sea, conducted by the sport’s champions and professional athletes who help the students to have all the confidence and didactics necessary to become independent as soon as possible. Uri Valadão, professional athlete and world champion of the sport in 2008, leads the school and the instructors’ team, which also counts on the Bahian champion Juliana Dourado, and other professional athletes who joined the Genesis Bodyboarding School, led by coach Márcio Torres.

The school’s point, the HCT (training center) in Lôro, at Praia do Flamengo, is the stage for most classes, but many other paradisiacal beaches on the north coast of Salvador make part of the points chosen for weekend classes. Divided into categories: 1st contact, beginner, Intermediate, Improvement/Advanced, classes are made to attend since those people who have never had contact with bodyboarding or with the sea until those who want to improve their maneuvers level and quality.
