So, imagine I've been paddling for a bit and I want to buy some stuff.

Buy the best Cag you can afford, splash cags are what the club has. No point in buying gear that you can get for free.

The Decathlon in Belfast ships to Ireland. If you're still using a club wetsuit or have no proper booties or just want some thermals they're good. Don't bother with their kayaking gear though.

Long Johns & Wetsuits

There's loads of other wetsuits too (though not a huge selection of long johns, which are good for freeing up your arm movement)

There's tons of cheap thermals on the site too, well worth a look around if you're prone to getting cold on the water.
