Adventure Tips

Wear a life jacket at all times

Safety first: all kids must wear a properly fitted life jacket during paddle sessions to ensure buoyancy and protection.

Apply reef-safe sunscreen

Protect your skin and the local marine environment by using reef-safe sunscreen before heading out on the water.

Bring a water bottle

Staying hydrated throughout the day is important, especially under the summer sun on the beach.

Arrive early for calm waters

Mornings typically offer calmer sea conditions, making it easier for beginners to practice paddleboarding.
