What To Bring

Essentials:

• Life vest/PFD (Personal Flotation Device)* - mandatory to get on the boat

• Sport glasses/Sunglasses - protection from the sun, wind and water
• A bottle of water or sports drink
• Swimsuit/Trunks/Boardshorts
• Clothing - rashguard or other quick-drying synthetic materials
• Watershoes or sandals (barefoot is also alright)

*LADB community equipment is available for use during practice. However, these should be used during the tryout season only, since the paddles and life jackets are old and worn. It is highly recommended that members purchase their own paddles and life vests as soon as possible. (Group rates are available for equipment purchases.)
