Contributions for joining a normal SierraRios trip include a kayak and paddle for competent paddlers. The above listed boats are in Bolivia.


OARS/PADDLES: Most of the oars available are Cataract SGG oar shafts (composite carbon/fiberglass material) with MagnumII blades, but there still are some Carlisle oars with outfitter blades (aluminum-based). Kayak paddles are either AT or Werner straight shaft or bent shaft 197-200 cm and almost all are fiberglass with 30o feathering. Anyone in charge of a raft or kayak takes responsibility for damage to oars/paddles that may occur while in charge of a boat. We can bring 1-ft oar exenders to convert 9' oars to 10' oars, but this needs to be requested and arranged well ahead of time. Currently in Bolivia we have:

OARS
(9) Cataract SGG 10' oar shafts with Magnum II blades [as of Mar2017, two blades have dings]
(7) Cataract SGG 9' oar shafts with Magnum II blades [as of Mar2017]
(4) oar extenders (1')


CAMPING/PADDLING GEAR: There is other gear in Bolivia, including several Paco Pads, some PFDs/helmets, and camping gear. To rent items, see rates at RENTALs.
