Safety: Expert-only water — heavy hold-downs, strong currents and serious consequences. Paddle out only at sizes you have real experience in, and never alone. The current pushes against you on the paddle-out, and the take-off zone has a strict local order. Sharks are part of the ecosystem here — avoid dawn, dusk and murky rivermouth water.
