The most important things to bring along are a positive, can-do
attitude and a sense of humor. With those two traits you can
tackle just about anything—including kayaking. We are
fairly certain, however, that you would like more specific
essentials… here they are:

cotton! |
Any foods that you need for a specialized
diet |

Kayaking doesn't require a lot of gear—once
you have the basics, you can go anywhere! It is a rather inexpensive
sport as you will find out—unless of course you have
to buy a new kayak every year just because you want the latest
and greatest!
