    Planning Checklist

    • -Only trust Corolla for beginner sessions on genuinely small surf.
    • -Bring less gear and more patience; the accesses can be longer than southern NC towns.
    • -Use the room on the beach to find space instead of forcing the first peak you see.
    • -If the forecast looks stormy, choose another city rather than trying to make Corolla work.
