Adventure Tips
Wear the provided winter wetsuit
The 5mm wetsuit, boots, gloves, and hood are essential for keeping warm in cold Atlantic waters year-round.
Bring waterproof suncream
Even on cloudy days, UV rays reflect off the water, so sun protection is important to avoid burns.
Prepare for changing tides
Surf conditions can shift quickly with tide changes; check in with instructors for the best timing.
Pack a towel and warm clothes
Post-session warmth is key; bring something dry and cozy to change into after your surf lesson.
