Bring a wetsuit for cool water
Maine’s ocean stays chilly into summer—wear a wetsuit in spring and early summer to stay comfortable during multiple sessions.
Check tide and swell
Low and mid tides usually produce the sandbar breaks that are best for learners—consult a local tide chart before your session.
Sun protection matters
Evening sessions reduce UV, but biodegradable sunscreen and a sun shirt protect skin during drills on the sand and in the water.
Arrive early to warm up
Get to the meeting point 15–30 minutes early to rig boards, stretch, and get a quick land demo from instructors.
