For many of us, time on the water is the highlight of our week. It’s the standout play time that breaks up chores, work and school for the entire family. So why not try to maximize it? These pro tips will have you making the most of your day on the water from dawn to dusk.
Whether you use it pre-session, post-session or both, make sure you take full advantage of the heather. Use a Surfinity Heated Boat Blanket and you’ll have your own private sauna. You’ll be begging for the brisk water in no time.
This may sound obvious, but having a dry towel at the end of the day is key. When you get out of the water, towel off as soon as possible to avoid evaporative cooling. Keep a stash that the kids can’t get to until the end of the day. They’ll thank you when they have a nice warm towel (preheated with the heater snorkel) to wrap up in after their last session.
Few things will kill the vibe quicker than running out of snacks. Your day will be done sooner than you can imagine if a blood-sugar-induced tantrum rears its head. Instead, be sure to pack plenty of snacks for your boat crew. Oh, and make sure they’re the right boat snacks too
This one comes down to fatigue—or lack thereof—with GPS speed control. Your Malibu has speed control with GPS precision, so why stress about free-handing it all day? Lean on the technology instead to make your day on the water a breeze.
Realizing your day on the water is a marathon and not a sprint can make all the difference. The best water is typically earlier in the morning and later in the afternoon, so it may make sense to dip into a cove for a family swim session to beat the afternoon heat. That way everyone gets a chance to cool off at once. Squirt guns and floats can be a huge plus here, too.
