What to Bring:

• Personal Flotation Device (PFD)

  • A huli (capsize) is rare in our practices, however in rough or cold water, Paddlers are required to wear PFDs. A Type III or Type V Inflatable PFD works well. The club can provide one if you do not have your own

• seriously, that's it

  • One great aspect of outrigger canoeing is that it requires little specialized gear. The club will provide paddles. If you have your own PFD we encourage you to bring it
