You step from sun-warmed sand into a wind that tastes like salt and distant sea spray. The Pacific here moves with purpose—sets rise, peel, and dare you to commit. A local guide arranges boards, points out the takeoff zone and the subtle rips that sort beginner mistakes from smart moves.

Check local swell and tide
Ask your guide what swell size and tide windows are planned—best conditions are often morning or late afternoon.
Use a leash and board suitable for conditions
Boards are provided; bring your own if you prefer a particular size—leashes keep you near your board in rip-prone surf.
Sun and dehydration protection
Apply reef-safe sunscreen and hydrate before and after sessions; salt and sun fatigue hit fast in bright, exposed conditions.
Respect local line-up etiquette
Yield to riders on the peak and signal intentions; crowded peaks are rare here but local rules speed learning and prevent conflicts.
Surfboard (shortboard or hybrid)
Provided boards are available but bringing a familiar board improves performance and comfort.
Leash
Keeps you connected to your board in rips and crowded lineups—mandatory for safety.
Reef booties
Protect feet on rocky takeoff zones and shallow reefs, especially at low tide.
