Q: Can/should I bring my own equipment?

A: Most people prefer to bring their own equipment. However, gear can be bulky and heavy, which doesn't fit well if you are doing an extended period of travel. While many people prefer to bring their own equipment, often the benefits or having your own are seriously outweighed by the hassle of having to carry it around with you (and the risk of excess baggage charges from airlines!), and having to clean and dry your equipment while you are travelling. Good quality equipment is available for hire from all courses and we can include the cost of hire in your package. If you have any specific requirements (size, length, etc) please let us know and we can make arrangements for you.
