EasyDrop

Itacaré is a district of the Northeastern Brazilian State of Bahia. Providing its
visiting surfers with some of the most consistently breaking surf spots in
Brazil, besides paradise beaches with warm water all year round, and
stunning Atlantic rain forest all over. It’s 8 surfing peaks stretch out over 15
km north and south of the Itacaré village, some of them open beach breaks
with waves comparing those of Southern France, some of them inside
sheltered bays with pointbreak-like wave setups, plus one reef break and a
river mouth with probably the longest right hander in all over Brazil.

The 17th century town of Itacaré, at one time a notorious hideout for
pirates, preserves a small village charm enhanced by colonial buildings.
Today it is a relaxed village inhabited by fishermen, surfers, Brazilians and
foreigners, establishing their life close to nature and waves.

Activities

Waves:
Due to the funnel-shaped continental underwater platform in this region,
this stretch of coastline receives extremely consistent small to mid size
short and medium period swells, providing close to 365 surfable days per
year. Still, many surfing peaks in Itacaré lay in closed bays and/or are
sheltered/protected against summer Northeastern trade winds or winter cold
South front winds.
Thus, even in international comparison, Itacaré offers a perfect environment
for beginners and intermediate-level surfers to learn and improve their
surfing.

Our surf teaching program puts individual attention in first places, closely
followed by the use of technology, highest equipment standards, and a full
set of highly developed teaching techniques in order to provide surf students
with maximum progress in minimum time, without compromising safety or
fun.We guarantee a minimum instructor-student ratio of 1:3. Fully individual
instructions are provided at now extra cost whenever there is demand.
All practical classes are recorded to video, and the footage is discussed with
the students in daily theoretical seminars. Students' profile is about 50% of each gender, main age range 25 to 40.
