Canyon & Waterfall Hikes
Â
Closed-toe water sandals made for days like El Callejon del Diablo, a 10 km canyon with river crossings and waterfall climbs. They grip wet rock, drain fast and protect your toes from the stones.
KEEN Men's Newport H2 Closed Toe Water Sandals
Â
The budget option: light, quick-dry water shoes with nearly 30,000 reviews. Great for natural pools, river walks and rocky beaches if you don't want to spend on sandals.
SIMARI Water Shoes - Barefoot Quick-Dry Aqua Socks
Â
Hydration pack with a 3L bladder. On a long canyon day in the heat you need your hands free for climbing and plenty of water; sipping from a hose beats stopping to dig out a bottle.
MARCHWAY Tactical Molle Hydration Pack 3L
Â
Lightweight trekking poles with 64,000+ reviews. They save your knees on steep, muddy descents to the waterfalls and give you balance on slippery river crossings. They fold down to strap on your pack.

Â
Electrolyte drink mix packets. You sweat a lot hiking and surfing in El Salvador's heat, and plain water isn't always enough. Toss a few packets in your bag for long days outside.

Surf Days at Surf City
Â
The classic 8 ft soft-top foam board. Stable, forgiving and easy to paddle, it's the board most people learn on. The best way to get surf-fit is simply to paddle out as often as you can.
Wavestorm 8ft Classic Surfboard & O'Neill Reactor-2 Wetsuit
Â
Warm/tropical surf wax. The water at Surf City stays warm all year, so regular cold-water wax melts and gets slippery. This formula keeps its grip in tropical water.
Sticky Bumps Warm/Tropical Surf Wax 69°F+
Â
A tangle-free surf leash. El Salvador's point breaks are rocky, and a snapped leash means a long swim and a dinged board. A fresh leash is a cheap insurance policy.
Ho Stevie! Premium Surf Leash - No Tangles - 6/7/8/9 Ft
Â
Mineral SPF 50 sunscreen. Two hours in the water under the Salvadoran sun will burn you fast, so put this on before you paddle out and again between sessions.

Stay Ready Between Sessions
Â
A surf balance board. When the ocean is flat, a few minutes a day on this builds the balance and leg strength you use to pop up and ride. Fun for the whole family, too.
Yes4All Balance Board Trainer for Surfing
Â
A pivoting street-surf board that carves like a wave on pavement. It's a fun way to practice your turns and keep your surf legs on days with no swell.

Â
Resistance loop bands with 137,000+ reviews. They're light enough to pack on any trip; a few minutes of shoulder and leg moves keeps you strong for paddling and climbing.

Â
A thick, comfy yoga mat for stretching. Hips, shoulders and back get tight after long paddles and steep hikes, and ten minutes of stretching the next morning makes a big difference.
Gaiam Thick Yoga Mat with Carrying Strap
Â
A simple high-density foam roller. Roll out your calves, quads and back after a canyon day or a long surf session so you're ready to go again tomorrow.
