- What To Bring on a Kayak Tour
You should bring lots of water (1qt min), sunscreen, clothes you don't mind getting wet and or dirty, shoes you won't mind getting wet (sandals are great, flip flops are not), hat, sunglasses with strap, insect repellent and snacks. A towel is good to have to dry off with after the tour, and a change of clothes is nice too. If rain is in the forecast a raincoat or waterproof jacket will come in handy as well.
What To Bring for a Surf Lesson
Remember to bring a towel, water, and sunscreen to the lesson. Meet time is 15 minutes before the lesson starts at the Kitty Hawk Kayaks Kayak and Surf School. You do not need to purchase a rash guard for the lesson but they do help protect you from the sun and rashes from skin to wax contact. The Kitty Hawk Kayaks Kayak and Surf School is not responsible for items left on the beach during the lesson. Do not bring items to the beach unless you can secure their safety during the lesson.
