Morning light arrives low over the Pacific and the van eases toward the pier—salt in the air, boards stacked like instruments ready for a session.

Check tides and swell before you go
Tide windows change which breaks work—morning low-to-mid tides often surface cleaner point waves at First Point.
Bring reef booties for rocky entries
Some access points have cobbles or reefs; booties protect feet and make paddling out safer.
Sun protection is critical
Apply reef-safe sunscreen and bring a hat for shore breaks between sessions to avoid burning on reflective water.
Hydrate and pace your sessions
Surfing is aerobic and upper-body intensive—carry water and expect multiple 60–120 minute in-water blocks each day.
Wetsuit
Keeps you warm in Pacific temperatures and extends session time in spring and fall.
Surfboard (or provided quiver)
Coach-provided boards are matched to skill and local conditions for faster progression.
Reef booties
Protects feet on rocky or reef entries common at some access points.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects skin during long shore-side intervals and prolonged sun exposure.
