"What an amazing trip! While vacationing in Rio I wanted to kitesurf and experience the best of VIP night life. MaximRio made that a reality and went way beyond what may expectations were. Their Kite equipment was top notch and their guided kite excursions exceeded my expectations. Hands down I cannot say enough nice things about the hosts of MaximRio they were fantastic. At Maxim I made some great friends and I will definitely come back soon and of course I highly recommend MaximRio to anyone who wants to have the time of their life."

-Scott Painter, Founder and CEO of Cars Direct, ZAG and True Car



“My first time in Rio was an incredible experience that I will never forget. The thing that stands out the most in my mind was the incredible down wind wave run starting at Barra de Tejuca and going 10Km down-wind. Beautiful peeling lefts, side shore wind at 20-25knots, friendly sand bottom (no sharp reef), and the most amazing views I’ve seen anywhere. I felt like I was kiting in a James Bond movie. The granite spires are like Half-Dome in Yosemite, but about 100 in view while you’re wave riding……almost surrealistic. On day 4 we headed to Araruama for the ultimate in flat-water riding. A ½ mile long sandbar that is 15’ wide makes for the slickest water I’ve ever ridden. Get ready to practice your tricks here for sure. Rio is a large city like Manhattan but bigger so MaximRio’s service is more valuable than you can know until you see. Parking, clubs, language, rides from down-winders is all done for you. Martin takes you to the coolest places and keeps you out of neighborhoods you don’t want to go into.”

-Litewave Dave, owner Litewave Designs kiteboards



"I have used Martin and MaximRio's services on 3 occasions during my trips to Rio. His services are top notch and he says what he delivers at a reasonable price. Martin took a group of 5 on an unforgetable club crawl in Leblon. Most impressive is when he forwarded my picture to my pick-up driver at the airport, so no name placard had to be used, which was a great security measure. I have recommended his services to many of my friends and will continue to use them in my future trips to Rio!!"

-EP, Business Owner, New York, NY



"Martin with MaximRio showed our group of 5 a great time in Rio! From initially setting us up with a sweet apartment in Ipanema, to taking us on nightlife excursions to Lapa and Leblon, to an amazing private New Year's Eve party on Copacabana, MaximRio had it all dialed in. Contact them, you won't regret it."

-Joel Oxman, Vice President, Extractable - San Francisco, CA



"I can’t say enough of the awesome time I had while I visited Rio. Our apartment was located next to great restaurants and bars. My experience with the MaximRio staff couldn’t have been any better. The accomodations, sports options, and nightlife were excellent. MaximRio’s Kite instruction was top notch and the outstanding guided kite excursions exceeded my expectations on every level. The staff made me feel safe (in and out of the water) and comfortable during my 7 day holiday. Rio has a lot to offer and MaximRio will maximize your Brazilian kitesurfing experience."

-Vincent Finamore, Account Rep, Teleflex Medical - San Francisco CA



"Whether you are from the US or Europe, whether you are single or a couple, kiteboarder or not - this source is for you, trust me! I spent 10 of the most amazing days with Martin, cruising Rio, enjoying a crazy nightlife and getting some of the best kiteboarding ever! He took me to the beaches and showed the "kitewind" I never thought existed. And this is from a "someone" who has already been to places like Maui, Baja, Caribbean, Mauritius and Australia before... Don't take "other chances" - if you want the best of Brazil, hook up with MaximRio."

-Gennady Shevchenko, Global Product Director at AngioDynamics Inc.



"I cannot imagine what our vacation would have been like without MaximRio. We had an amazing time in Rio and are ready to go back! We felt completely at home, totally immersed in the culture, and stoked to get the native’s perspective on things. It was a perfect balance between hitting the hot spots and relaxing on the beach. We ended up with a whole crew of friends through Martin’s networking. One of the best vacations I’ve ever been on. Thank you!"

-Michelle Barta, Associate Broadcast Producer, Ubisoft



“Kiting in Rio’s natural setting, ideal wind conditions with a great swell come together to create one of the world’s most stunning kite destinations. With medium size left break waves you can spend hours on warm water down winders. Take it from someone who has traveled the globe in search of the best kite spots, Rio ranks as one of my all time favorite. That’s why I come back, time and time again!”

-Shannon Best, Best Kiteboarding



“When these guys say 24 hour concierge, they mean it. I've never experienced such personalised, efficient, and friendly service. Everything was catered for. The product is second to none and unless your staying in Rio for 6 months, you'd be crazy not to use at least some of Maxim's services. As far as the kiting goes, it was breathtaking. I am a beginner and had only 1 lesson prior to my Rio adventure. Martin got me kiting by the end of the week. Enough said.
Thanks for an adventure we will NEVER forget guys! ”

-Shane Thompson, 747 Pilot, Perth Australia
