Respect the reef
Watch where you step—coral is sharp and ecologically sensitive; use designated entry points and reef booties if provided.
Time your session with the tide
Ask instructors which tide suits the day—mid to high tide often reduces exposed reef hazards while preserving rideable faces.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Choose biodegradable sunscreen to protect coral and reapply between sets; instructors typically provide drinking water but not sunscreen.
Pace your effort
Reef waves are more powerful—take breaks, sip water, and signal your coach if you feel fatigued to avoid risky takeoffs.
Reef booties
Protect feet on shallow reef takeoffs and when scrambling in and out via rocky entry points.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects skin in tropical sun and reduces damage to coral—reapply between sets.
Hydration bottle
Staying hydrated between sets maintains performance and reduces cramping in warm water.
Rash guard (or use provided)
Prevents board rash and adds light sun protection; instructors typically supply rash guards, but bring your own for fit preference.
