Start early for glassy conditions
Mornings often have lighter winds and cleaner waves—plan to be on the sand at first light for the best surf windows.
Bring reef-safe sunscreen and hydration
The tropical sun is intense on dark sand—use SPF and carry at least 1–2 liters of water for a full-day session.
Know the currents and respect rip zones
Tidal changes can create strong rips near the headlands; follow your instructor’s advice on entry and exit points.
Foot protection for rocky entries
If the launch area has exposed rock or coral, reef booties protect your feet and make exits safer.
Rashguard or spring suit
Protects from sun, board rash, and light wind during long hours on the water.
Reef booties
Useful if beach entries or exits are rocky or have coral.
Reusable water bottle
Keeps you hydrated through a long session; refill at the operator or hotel.
Waterproof sunscreen (reef-safe)
High SPF protects against strong tropical sun and reduces reef impact.
