FAQs
Wear sneakers or other shoes that secure to your feet (no flip-flops or Crocs). Choose wool or synthetic layers for cooler conditions and avoid cotton, since it can stay cold and wet.
Plan for everything you bring to get wet. Bring any required medications and extra money for souvenirs. Leave valuables, plus dry clothes and towels for after the clinic, locked in your vehicle.
You may use your own equipment, but make sure it’s appropriate for the course. Zoar Outdoor can also provide gear if needed, including a boat, paddle, life jacket (PFD), helmet, and (if needed) a wetsuit, paddle jacket, booties, and sprayskirt.
