I recommend arriving around 8 AM for the morning lessons. The waves are generally calmer, and you get more personalized attention from instructors. Trust me, it makes a big difference.

I recommend booking your boat at least a week in advance, especially on weekends. I was lucky but saw lots of others struggle to find last-minute spots

I suggest trying to get a boat with a canopy. It can get super hot out there, and having shade made my experience way more comfortable!

My advice is to check the water conditions before heading out. I had a bumpy ride due to unexpected waves, and it wasn't as enjoyable as I hoped.

Definitely bring some sunscreen, even if it's cloudy. I got sunburned on my first day because I underestimated the sun!

My advice is to book your lessons in advance online, especially during peak season. It saved me from missing out on spots that filled up quickly.

I suggest booking a private lesson, especially if you're nervous like I was. The personal attention really helps you learn faster and feel more confident on the board.

My advice is to wear sunscreen and bring a hat! I forgot, and I ended up a little sunburned after the lesson. Don't make my mistake!
