What to Bring
Type III Personal Flotation Device
Each student in our Junior program is required to bring their own USCG-approved PFD to class. This year, we will have Extrasport brand child-size LSS PFDs available for purchase in our office. |
Water & Snack
All students should bring a reusable water bottle and a snack to class every day. We have a water bottle refill station in front of our office this summer, and we also sell LSS reusable water bottles. |
Clothing & Footwear
You're going to get wet while on the water, so it's important to know how to best prepare. For footwear, we recommend waterproof shoes that are secured to your feet. Watershoes like Keens are great! For clothing, we recommend wearing a swimsuit or sun shirt, shorts, and a t-shirt. We sail rain or shine and recommend clothes without cotton, as these will stay warm when wet. Don't forget to bring a towel! |
Protection from the Sun
It can get quite hot and sunny out here on the water! We recommend that all of our students come prepared with a hat, sunglasses, Croakies and extra sunscreen. If you're looking for a way to represent LSS, we sell our own customized hats and Croakies in our office! Come say hello and check it out! |
