Key FormulaFormula
Paddle 30 min 3× weekly off-season.
Practice StandardStandard
3–4 focused sessions per week beat sporadic marathon practice.
Wetsuit Fit
Wetsuit should be snug with no gaps at neck and wrists — flushing cold water causes hypothermia.
Rinse Gear Daily
Rinse wetsuit and board in fresh water after every salt session.
Check Forecast
Review swell, wind, and tide before paddling out — offshore wind grooms waves.
