Is there a safe place to store my personal belonging?
We do not have lockers or secure storage facilities at this time. Our staff and guests leave their bags and belongings at our umbrella at the beach site. We have not had any problems with theft in the past, but SEA cannot be held liable if you decide to bring your personal items with you to the beach or if you leave them in your vehicle. For this reason, we suggest packing lightly and leaving valuables at home or in your place of residence.
What should I bring?
For Surf Lessons or Coaching Sessions bring sunscreen, water, any snacks you might want, a towel, and we recommend a dry change of clothes, including a sweatshirt.
For Surf Camp, bring all of the above plus pack a lunch.
If you prefer to use your own wetsuit or surfboard go for it! If you are planning on bringing your own equipment please let us know in advance.
