Guest tips:
1. Wear non-cotton clothes. It is not an intense sport, but you should be able to move around freely. Don’t wear jeans.
2. Bring 1) plenty water 2) sunscreen 3) Hat 4) Clothes, shoes for change, towel. The chance falling into water is small but possible.
3. Option: gloves (for handling ropes)
4. Warning: don’t bring anything valuable onto the water.
