What to Wear
Activewear/quick-dry clothing is best. Bathing Suits are always a good option if you are comfortable doing yoga or paddling in it or rash guards to protect you from the sun. Be prepared to get anything that touches the board to get a little wet. There is also the possibility of falling (or jumping!) into the water.
Age Requirements
All children under the age of 13 are required to wear a life vest by law. Please bring your own coastguard-approved vest. We require all children to be able to swim. Anyone under 9 years old can be put on the parents’ board to ride along.
