Dress code - Must bring items | [Clothing] ● Clothes you don't mind getting wet During the warm season from late July to early September, a swimsuit is fine, but since there is nothing to block the sun on the water, we recommend bringing a rash guard or long-sleeved clothing made of quick-drying material. We rent out wetsuits for free depending on the season. * For your feet, sandals or water shoes that can be fixed at the heel and are difficult to slip off are ideal. We do not recommend beach sandals as they are not stable on the board and may come off. [Things to bring] ● Change of clothes ● Sandals (with fixed heels recommended) ● Towel ● Drink ● Glasses strap The following items are useful to bring if you have them: ・ Rash guard, hat (with chin strap recommended) ・ Sunglasses (with straps recommended) ・ Sunscreen ・ Insect repellent |
