A short informal article about some junior surfers discovering new surf spots in Australia.
Le fait de partager ce rêve avec des champions venus rejoindre le team en invités surprise s’est transformé en désir de « fracasser » autant qu’eux. Il ne reste plus qu’à trouver d’autres vagues australiennes moins peuplées pour ***réciter la leçon***.
I've found phrases like "repeat parrot fashion" or "rattle off" but they just don't hit the spot. Any suggestions?

Comment: "Thanks for all the answers, much appreciated. I also really liked "do their homework", especially as it's about junior surfers on a training camp. But this is the one I used in the end."

"do their homework" (in quotation marks)
Obviously in practical terms what the article means is "to practice" their technique. But if there is any tongue-in-cheek element to the article, this would be a cute choice.
