Arrive early
Morning sessions typically have calmer wind and smaller crowds—plan to check in 20–30 minutes before start time.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Apply broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen before entering the water to protect skin and marine life.
Know your limits
If you have heart or back issues, check with your doctor—the activity requires moderate fitness and surfboard falls happen.
Hydrate and snack
Bring water and a light snack; the combination of sun, salt, and exertion can sap energy quickly.
