14 Surf School Beach Signs

Whatsup Dudes!

After having screamed, whistled and wigwagged for a decade to communicate surf students on-beach teaching contents from a certain distance, new generation EasyDrop instructor Ian Costa came up with the idea to standardize some signs just to easily pass on the most frequently required information to our surf students.

So we jointed the operations team with the office crew and discussed signs for a while.

Finally we asked our surf-art partner Paulo Handa (see some of his art inside the “Surf&Art at EasyDrop” article I published on April 21st 2009) to paint these signs, being “executed” by our new mascot (no name yet, do you have one for him?).

So here they are for your convenience and study because next time you’ll be here, you need to know what they mean… :-?

Please feel free to comment, we appreciate that!

Ok here are the signs and their meanings:
