What to bring

Equiped Kayakers

Depending on the season and the specific location, weather on the central Oregon coast can vary greatly. One thing you can count on is the water will be cold. It is most important to bring a good attitude and a sense of adventure. Next is appropriate clothing and footwear, which helps in maintaining a good attitude. Expect your feet to get wet entering and exiting the boat. Waterproof sandals, aqua socks, or flip-flops are appropriate. You may also want to wear insulated socks. Bring several water resistant layers including a thin interior layer (polypro, Capilene) covered by a thicker pullover (fleece). For below the waist, swim trunks work well. A hat and sunscreen may be necessary. Bring water and a snack packed in zip lock bags. On full day trips lunch is provided.
