7) WHAT SHOULD I WEAR OR BRING???

If you are doing a spring session, it is best to dress in layers (not too baggy though) and bring a toque. Tights, warm socks and a zip-up jacket or lightweight fleece over other layers are also recommended.

Remember this is a water sport, so be prepare for the potential to get wet!
