Program Details

Hello World Packer! This is Kito and Julieta.

This program consists on helping with the whole organization of the hostel.

In exchange, we offer our best experience related to surfing, music, languages and networking!

If you are a beginner at surfing, the first class is on us (board included). Of course we can give you a few surfing tips whenever we´re in the water, but if you actually need more classes, we charge R$70,00 per class. About the board, from the second surf session on, access surfsupclub.com, find us and rent the most appropriate one for you. we´ve got a lot of awesome options (the rental money helps a social project we´re part of called "Projeto Soul surf". check on instagram @projetosoulsurf).

We also have got some musical instruments, which you can borrow some of them to learn how to play, or if you are already a musician, to have some fun with us. just remember to take good care of them and everything we offer for your best experience here.

There's also the bicycles, which you can use for free (we charge from the guests), but make sure you'll also take good care of them, washing them whenever you're back from the streets.

About the Surf boards painting:
We are transforming the historical museum in an art museum, and you can be one of the artists to hang your art in our walls. the paintings are being done in old surf boards, once they'd be trash without an appropriate discard, this way we can save the board and the world, besides, you\'ll leave your mark here in te hostel!

And last but not least, we are also recording the "Ohanalu podcast", talking to travelers around te world, and you can be one of the guests.

Looking forward to hear from you.
