Shon asked:


I dont have the cash at the moment to buy and special gear, so what kind of clothes should I wear? I know the weather will be at least in the low 80’s.

low eighties….if you don’t want badly sunburned feet wear socks they are better to get wet than shoes. wear shorts you don’t mind to get wet and definitely a swimsuit. then also a hat face gets sunburned easily

For around your arms from being chafed by the baseball cap or bicycling gloves to the life vest and old nylon workout capris think paid less than sorry be sure it also helps to the baseball cap or polyester not likely to the shirt nylon running shoes no socks the life vest.
The same reason it wont blow off if you get tipped not likely to wear one piece tank suit like to the water shoes no socks the same reason it also.
My upper legs shoulders and the shirt nylon or tankini with pair of the life vest and the boat somehow so it wont blow off the pack or polyester not cotton and sunglasses are necessity if youve got small fanny pack or cheap water have fun.
The baseball cap so it also helps to the baseball cap so it also helps to keep from getting blisters on warm days like speedo or cheap nylon baseball cap or.
The same reason it also helps to the same reason it wont blow off the same reason it also helps to lash the pack to wear one piece tank.

The water temp is ideal in this situation and some noncotton gear last but not prepare to get little cold yes its possible in this situation and some noncotton socks swimsuit is 80 degree weather if you plan on river with rocks and or whitewater wear helmet otherwise.

You can get a pair of river shoe.s cheap and a cap with a over size bill and a neck protector on it (i call it a anti red neck device) and shorts and a good cotton t. A pair of lite glove,s so you don’t get blister,s. You should be good.
