The Pacific here is deliberate: long, rolling lines that reward timing as much as strength. In four guided sessions you move from paddling basics to timed pop-ups and reading sets, each class tailored to the swell, wind and your progress.

Arrive early for calmer conditions
Morning sessions often have lighter winds and cleaner waves—arrive at least 30 minutes early for check-in and warm-up.
Bring a reusable water bottle
Hydration between sets matters—carry a refillable bottle and drink before and after sessions to avoid cramping.
Wear a snug rash guard or wetsuit
The Pacific near Lima stays cool year-round; a thin wetsuit in winter and a rash guard in summer prevent chafing and keep you comfortable.
Know basic ocean safety
Listen to instructors on rip currents and exit points—if you feel pulled, float and signal rather than fighting the current.
