Note: Best if you can provide your own wetsuit. If you don't have a surfboard, I can provide that for you. we will need to see which type of board is best for you.

1. Beach Meet-Up & Safety Talk (30 min)
We’ll meet at the beach to go over conditions, local surf etiquette, gear, and safety. I’ll help you get prepped and comfortable before we paddle out.
