Definition : Drop

Dernière mise à jour le 24 December 2023

Definition: A drop or "dropper" means that you start on a wave without respecting the priority rules. You are therefore on shoulder and don't have the right of way, but you ride the wave anyway, with a surfer on the inside.

It's a mistake often made by beginners who don't know the right of way, but also by local surfers or any other surfer who doesn't respect the right of way rules.

Born in the hustle and bustle of Paris, Samuel Rosemain first explored the city on his skateboard. His life changed at the age of 13, when he moved to Martinique.

Between the waves of La Caravelle in Tartane and the hidden spots of Sainte-Marie, he discovered his new passion: surfing.

After five years at sea, Samuel turned to marketing while staying close to the ocean. He created Surf Tribe, a website merging his career and his passion for surfing, offering a platform for knowledge and sharing about the sport and its culture.

Because surfing is above all a tribe!
