Adventure Tips
Wear a snug wetsuit
Wetsuits help kids stay warm and buoyant, essential for coastal Atlantic waters even in warmer months.
Arrive early for tides
Lessons depend on tide conditions—getting there early assures the best waves and smooth scheduling.
Hydrate before and after sessions
Physical activity on the beach requires proper hydration, especially for young surfers spending hours in saltwater.
Bring sun protection
Even on cloudy days, UV rays reflect strongly off the ocean, so a high-SPF waterproof sunscreen is essential.
