Wear a leash and PFD
Always paddle with a leash and an approved personal flotation device — they’re essential for safety in surf and rip-prone channels.
Launch early
Mornings usually have lighter winds and calmer water, making technical drills and remount practice easier.
Know tide and rip patterns
Check local tide charts and ask guides about seasonal sandbar shifts; currents can concentrate in passes and create unexpected rip zones.
Hydrate and fuel
Three hours of sustained paddling is demanding—bring water in a sealed bottle and a compact energy snack for between sets.
Leash (coiled or straight)
Keeps your board nearby after a fall and is critical in surf and current.
Personal Flotation Device (PFD)
Required for safety in moving water and provides extra buoyancy during rescues.
Sun protection (hat, SPF, sunglasses)
High UV on open water makes sun protection essential for comfort and safety.

Quick-dry wetsuit or rashguard
