Here are our guidelines about cancelations and no-shows: * For a trip, please cancel **prior to 8:00 PM the day before** the trip. * For a training, please cancel **at least 6 hours** before the training. * If you do not cancel before the cancelation cutoff time, you will be marked as a no-show. * Hosts reserve the right to deprioritize you on waitlists after the second no-show of the year.

We recommend you wear sunscreen and bring water to stay hydrated. You are free to wear whatever you want, but assume anything you bring on the water will get soaked and/or lost.
