Important Information
What to Bring
- Swimwear: Swimsuit or bikini (wear under wetsuit) - you'll be wearing this under your wetsuit, so choose something comfortable that won't bunch up. A one-piece or secure two-piece works best. Avoid loose-fitting swimwear that could shift during surfing.
- Towels: Towel for drying off after the lesson - you'll want to dry off and change into dry clothes. A quick-dry towel is ideal if you have one.
- Sun protection: Sunscreen (SPF 50+ waterproof recommended) - essential for protection from sun and water reflection. Apply before the lesson and bring it for reapplication. A zinc-based sunscreen is ideal for water sports.
- Change of clothes: Change of clothes for after the lesson - you'll want comfortable, dry clothes for the ride home. Light, comfortable clothing works best.
- Hydration: Water bottle to stay hydrated - surfing is physical activity, and you'll be in the sun, so staying hydrated is important.
