One of the barriers to getting into any gear intensive sport is cost but can you put an entire kit together for under $200? We asked thrift store bin-diver, used car wheeler-dealer and retro paddler Jorma Paloniemi to prove to us you can. See what he came up with!
Paddling clothes, shades, a map case, sea kayak, paddle and even a car to get you to the water all for under $200?!? Seems crazy but find out how Jorma Paloniemi pulled it off (and let's be honest the '87 Mercury Topaz is a pretty sweet ride!).
