In the beginner's course, not everyone surfs at the same time, some participants might sit in an inflatable boat with the coach, which means that you should take warm clothes with you, also on the water.

After the beginner's course (a week in practice), it is no longer possible to rent equipment from the club, so everyone must have their own equipment.
