A pale sun lifts off the horizon and the bay goes glass — your board slides forward with a soft scrape as you push away from the shore. Paddle strokes set the pace: slow and curious in channels of mangrove roots, quicker where the water opens to the bright blue of the Atlantic.

Start early
Launch in the morning when winds are light and water is calm; afternoons often bring stronger sea breezes.
Respect the mangroves
Stay in marked channels and avoid dragging boards over roots to protect fragile habitat.
Hydrate and shade up
Bring at least 1–2 liters of water and a hat—tropical sun can dehydrate quickly even on overcast days.
Know the tides
Check local tide charts; low tide can expose coral and make some channels shallow or impassable.
Dry bag (10–20L)
Keeps phone, snacks and spare layers dry during longer outings.
Reef‑safe sunscreen
Protects skin while minimizing harm to coral and marine life.
