The Bonus
1:1 Strategy Session
Β
Gear Guidance gives you the structure. The private session is where we slow down and look at your specific setup.
We go through your boards β what youβre riding, what you love, what feels too small, what feels too big β and work off of that.
Β
We look at:
- Width, thickness, and volume based on your body
- Whether youβre overshooting on size
- What will actually make paddling out easier at your local break
- Leash thickness for your conditions
- Wetsuit or foam options if youβre burning energy
- How to position yourself so youβre not forcing it
Β
You leave knowing what to order, what to adjust, and how to use it. No more guesswork.Β
