Morning sessions usually offer calmer waters and less crowding, perfect for beginner surfers to practice safely.

Use Reef-Safe Sunscreen

Protect your child's skin without harming marine life by applying reef-safe sunscreen before hitting the water.

Stay Hydrated Throughout the Day

Bring plenty of water as active surfing and sun exposure can quickly lead to dehydration.
