Conservation
Respect seagrass flats and nesting shorebirds; use marked launch areas, avoid trampling dunes, and support local schools that follow no-anchoring practices to protect the bay.

Bring a reusable water bottle
Thermal winds and sun make dehydration easy; a 1–2 liter bottle will keep you going through drills and water time.
Protect your head and eyes
Wear a secure hat or helmet for shore drills and polarized sunglasses with retention; glare off the Sea of Cortez is intense.
Wear a rashguard or thin wetsuit
Water can be warm but wind chill at speed makes a rashguard or springsuit comfortable during repeated practice.
Communicate limits and health info
Tell your instructor about any back, neck, or medical issues—lessons are not recommended for spinal injuries.

Protects against sun and wind-chill during on-water practice.
