You push off from a small pebble beach and the bay opens like a shallow bowl of glass — pale aquamarine near shore, deeper indigo toward the channel. The instructor sets a calm tempo: safety talk, wet-footed practice, then steady paddling out past sun-warmed rocks where currents nudge the board like a living thing.

Morning sessions are calmer
Book an early slot to avoid afternoon wind and enjoy flat water for learning balance and strokes.
Wear reef shoes
The beach is pebbly and there are shallow rocky reefs—footwear protects toes when entering/exiting.
Hydrate and protect from sun
Two hours on reflective water increases sun and dehydration risk—bring SPF and 1L+ of water.
Know your swim comfort
While the course is beginner-friendly, participants should be comfortable in open water and able to tread or swim.
