The Experience

Before You Go

Wear secure, closed-toe footwear

Shoe straps and aggressive braking can snag loose sandals—sturdy trainers give better control on launch and landing.

Stow or tether cameras

Small action cameras are fine when secured; loose phones will be confiscated at the line for safety.

Hydrate before you go

Tropical heat plus adrenaline raises your heart rate—drink water beforehand and carry a small bottle if allowed.

Book morning slots

Afternoons bring brief tropical showers; early sessions usually offer clearer views and calmer winds.
