Yes, absolutely! You are more than welcome to bring your own gear to the course. In fact, we recommend it as it is good to practice on the gear you will be using. If you are bringing your own board, please make sure to bring your paddle, life jacket, leash and a whistle.
Bring water, sun protection, and weather-appropriate layers that can get wet. We also recommend water shoes.
It is always best to arrive 10-15 minutes before your start time. If you are bringing your own equipment and need to inflate, it is best to arrive 35 minutes early to make sure you’re ready to go prior to the course start.
