Bring reef booties if sensitive to sharp reef
Some launching zones are rocky; lightweight reef booties protect your feet for entries and exits without sacrificing board feel.
Use a performance quiver
Bring a short, high-performance board and a backup for changing swell—guides can tune equipment but having your preferred shapes speeds sessions.
Watch local currents and rips
Reef breaks and river mouths create unpredictable currents; stay close to guides and avoid paddling out alone in unfamiliar channels.
Book early-season swell windows
Peak swells and offshore winds often occur in the rainy-to-dry season transition—coordinate dates with guides for best conditions.
Performance shortboard
High-performance shapes for paddling into and riding hollow reef peaks maximize your chances of scoring barrels.
Leash (strong, fresh)
Sturdy leash reduces board loss on powerful waves and during aggressive breaks over shallow reef.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects skin while minimizing harm to coral and local marine life during long sessions.
