Hi Tracey,

If your dad bought a kayak yesterday, it would be well worth a call to him to find out everything he bought to go with it. He *hopefully* bought a PFD already along with some other essential gear. He may have bought a wetsuit as well. Get a list of everything he bought and post it so we can give you a little better advice on what he needs.

Hope this helps,

Woody
