For outdoor days
Bring sun protection, a refillable water bottle, comfortable footwear and a light layer. Add a wind-resistant layer when your plans involve exposed locations. Adjust the list using the current forecast before departure.
For lessons
Ask the provider what equipment is supplied. Pack a towel, swimwear and dry clothes. Avoid buying or transporting specialised equipment until you know what the course includes.
For independent surf travel
Check your airline’s current board allowance and your transfer or rental-car capacity. Plan secure transport and confirm equipment availability directly with a rental provider if you are leaving your own board at home.
For travel days
Keep booking details, accommodation access instructions and transport arrangements available offline. Check travel-document requirements for your own nationality and route with the relevant official authorities. Put essential personal items in accessible luggage.
