• Do not surf the edge rolls
• Protect your head in case of a fall

2/ Don't panic if you get caught in the current

• Don't try to return to the beach
• Stay on your board
• Waves arms to alert helpers

3/ Smart surfing

• Choose waves adapted to your level
• Choose spots that are not too busy
• Never surf in stormy weather
• Protect yourself from the sun
• Use sunscreen

4/ Respect the bathing areas

5/ Respect the rules of priority and conviviality

• Basic rule: 1 wave, 1 surfer

• Don't ride a wave if there's someone ahead
• Don't let go of your board by doing "ducks".
• Avoid collisions; go around the surf zone to get to the open sea.
