Arrive hydrated and sun-ready
The lagoon reflects sunlight strongly—bring SPF, lip protection and a refillable water bottle to avoid dehydration.

Respect protected zones
Instructors will brief you on no-go reedbeds and bird nesting areas—stay within marked practice zones to avoid fines and disturbance.
Book afternoon sessions for steadier wind
Thermal winds typically build midday to afternoon; aim for sessions between 11:00–17:00 for reliable conditions.
