Watch wind forecasts daily

Wear a wetsuit with seals
Water can be cool; a 3/2–5/4mm suit with sealed cuffs keeps you warm and focused during repeated launches.
Protect skin and eyes
Strong sun and reflected glare demand high-SPF sunscreen and polarized sunglasses or neoprene eye protection.
Communicate your limits
A private instructor will push progress, but be explicit about fatigue, dizziness, or discomfort so drills can be adjusted.
Full wetsuit (3/2–5/4mm)
Keeps you warm during cooler mornings and longer sessions in spring and fall.
