Theoretical surf classes

Theoretical surf classes at EasyDrop are given from Monday to Friday at the EasyDrop school, located in the historical center of Itacaré.

They consist in detailed video feedback + 9 theoretical content modules covering all surfing related topics from safety to techniques.

Each such seminar takes around an hour and a half per day.

Each EasyDrop surf student receives a full printed surfing manual created by EasyDrop

Our theory classes consist of:

1. Theoretical seminars

About 20 minutes each, with topics such as:

wave- and surfboard physics
swell formation
wave patterns
currents
tides
priority rules
surfer etiquete
safety techniques
surfboard building

These seminars follow a cycle of content that restart each week. The classes are followed by a booklet that contains all the theory related to surf.

2. Video analysis

The video footage taken during practical surf classes from Monday to Friday are discussed by an EasyDrop instructor together with the surf students. In order to identify correct technique as well as improvable techniques, repetition and slow motion are used, as well as group analysis.
Seeing themselves surfing is fundamental for the students to understand the meaning of what instructors suggest them to try doing in a different way.

By the end of these sessions, (reachable) personal goals are established for each student's next surfing day.

Note: the daily video footage is edited into a weekly DVD-movie, given as a free gift to students with 6 or more days of surfing at EasyDrop
