4.     SUP & Trek Notes.

• On the first day, We will paddle about 8 km from Boc Luom board station to the junction of rivers where Nang River meets Ba Be Lake. This entire paddling interval is downstream at a fairly rapid pace. Physical is not a problem, but for those who do not have much experience in SUP paddling in a place with strong currents, it can be a bit nervous at first. You have to wear a life jacket, and a leg strap (leash) and should not stand right on the SUP from the starting point. After starting around 1 km - 2 km, when you feel more confident with the water, you can start standing to paddle.
• When paddling, you need to avoid places with strong water flow or hindrances like tree branches, and rocks. Noted that, If you can swim and are good at paddling, you can take off your life jacket and tie it on SUP but do not remove the leg straps totally. 
• Our trek is quite gentle with short hikes, easy trails, and no high elevation. However, you still need to have the right sports or walking shoes for your safety and comfortable hike in the forest.
