Choose the right wave
Most problems start before the water: wrong spot, wrong level, wrong crowd, wrong timing. Pick the easiest good wave for the group, not the most famous one.
Respect the lineup
Wait your turn, do not drop in, do not snake, and listen to local instruction. If you do not understand the peak, estancia wide and observe before paddling into the main zone.
Know when to step back
Viento, marea, crowd or fear can turn a session into a bad product. A safer alternative spot is not a failure; it is good planificación.
