\n\u2022 Dress for the sport and make sure you have the correct gear, from apparel to shoes. Rocky reefs look beautiful but are sharp.
\n\u2022 Travel with essentials, including bottled water, snacks, etc.
\n\u2022 Check travel conditions before you head to the beach. Upon arrival, follow the rules posted on the signage.
\n\u2022 If you\u2019re not certain about a day with powerful waves and you\u2019re not quite skilled to surf at that level, don\u2019t.
\n\u2022 Keep in mind that the sun\u2019s rays are strong and while you may want to get that island tan, you don\u2019t need to get burned so apply sunblock.
\n\u2022 If you are in the water and get swept into a rip current, signal with a wave for help, ride with the current and stay calm.
\n\u2022 If you\u2019re learning a new sport, do a little research even if you have an idea of the experience and\/or have an instructor. Preparedness can make a tremendous difference between a smooth or eventful time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
