Before you start to paddle, u must have a boat, a paddle and a lifevest. So, where do you normally purchase these equipments? Is there any good recommendations (lobang) for paddlers to purchase their own boats or paddles?

Currently, the most common brand I heard of (for paddles) is Brasca. What are some of the "powerful" paddles that is highly recommended or different paddles suit different people?

As for the boat, there are brands like Nelo, Regatta, Pola, advantage kayak, plastex, etc. Which is better?

Share you views, friends... :wink:
