EQUIPMENT GUIDE

All  Lessons:

Wear Sturdy Swimwear (board shorts), this goes for men and women. Wear a rash-guard shirt. 
If you are buying one, get a long sleeved rashguard. Bring your booties if you have them. 


We have them if you don't. If you have a "shorty" wetsuit, bring it along. 
Always wear a good waterproof sunscreen, that is designed for surfers. Good sunscreen will be a 30+ or 40+ SPF, 
and it will not wash off or burn the eyes. Wear a hat, or baseball cap. 
Wear your hat at all times when you are not in the water.
Wear sunglasses, preferably polarized, at all times on the beach. 


Ideally you should purchase water-sunglasses, like the Oakley Water-jackets, or Sea-Specs.
Bring plenty of water to drink at the beach. Bring your usual medications (if any).
