Safety Measures:

• Always wear appropriate safety gear, including a leash and a well-fitting, properly fastened wetsuit.

• Before entering the water, assess the surf conditions, including wave size, currents, and hazards.

• Be mindful of other surfers and water users, maintaining a safe distance to prevent collisions.

• Learn and follow proper surf etiquette, respecting the lineup and giving right of way to other surfers.

• Avoid surfing alone and consider having a buddy system for added safety.

• If you are a beginner or unfamiliar with a surf spot, seek guidance from our surf school instructors or experienced surfers.

Softboard Usage and Care:

• Softboards are recommended for beginners due to their forgiving nature and increased safety.

• Choose an appropriate softboard size and shape based on your weight, skill level, and the surf conditions.

• Handle softboards with care to avoid dings or damage, both in and out of the water.

• Avoid placing excessive pressure on the board's nose or tail to prevent bending or delamination.

• Rinse the softboard with freshwater after each use to remove saltwater and sand, and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Hardboard Usage and Care:

• Hardboards, such as fiberglass or epoxy surfboards, require more skill and experience to handle properly.

• Choose a hardboard that suits your skill level, wave conditions, and personal preferences.

• Avoid using hardboards beyond your skill level, as they can be more prone to damage and injuries.

• After each surf session, rinse the hardboard with freshwater to remove salt and sand, and store it in a secure place to prevent damage.

Surfskate Usage and Care:

• Surfskates simulate the feeling of surfing on land and require proper technique and balance. Start on a flat, smooth surface with ample space and avoid crowded areas or busy streets.

• Practice surfskating in areas with minimal vehicle or pedestrian traffic to ensure safety.

• Avoid exposing your surfskate to water, such as rain or submerging it in water, as it can lead to damage or rusting of metal components.

• If your surfskate gets wet, thoroughly dry it with a towel or allow it to air dry before storage to prevent moisture-related issues.

• Wet or damp feet can introduce moisture to the grip tape, causing it to deteriorate over time. Try to keep your feet as dry as possible while surfskating.

• Sand can act as an abrasive substance, potentially damaging the surfskate's components.

• Avoid riding the surfskate in sandy areas, and if sand gets on the board, promptly clean it off using a brush or cloth.

Wetsuit Care:

• Rinse your wetsuit with freshwater after each use to remove salt, sand, and any other impurities.

• Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, as it can cause the neoprene material to deteriorate.

• Hang your wetsuit on a wide, padded hanger to maintain its shape and prevent stretching.

• Store the wetsuit in a cool, dry place, away from heat sources and excessive humidity.

• Avoid contact with sharp objects (including long nails), abrasive surfaces, or chemicals that may damage the wetsuit's material.
