Wax and Comb

If you are going to spend a big part of the time with the waves, it is really important not to forget the wax and its comb. It is fundamental not to slip from the board.

Leash

You can’t neither forget a second leash. Sometimes it can be broken because of the sea strength or a bad use of it. Avoid taking risk and always carry a second one.

Sun cream

The sun cream is another fundamental detail. It doesn’t worth the season of the year when we do our trip or even if it is cloudy. In the water, the sun reflects more and, if you are going to stay hours there, it is better to do it is a safe way.

Neoprene Suit

We cannot miss the neoprene even if you are surfing in summer. Even in that season it is advisable wearing a short suit or any spandex which can protect us of the board scratch.
