Best Answer

A curling iron

Assuming that you are talking about the game of curling and not curling your hair (as opposed to the previous answer), you need to bring relatively little with you to the rink. You will need a clean pair of runners, make sure you wash them and pick out all the rocks from the soles so as not to scratch the ice (soft rubber soles are best) and loose, warm clothing you can bend comfortably in. Depending on the rink you may need to purchase a slider and a broom (a gripper - or two - is highly recommended, but optional, as it will reduce the risk of you falling), but most rinks will have equipment that they lend out. As you advance you can buy curling shoes, pants, jackets, shirts, brooms, bags, stopwatches - you name it, you can practically buy anything curling related. Two 'new' trends are the 'loud' curling pants (as debuted in the 2010 Olympics) and 'customs' (where they take ordinary shoes with flat bottoms and soft rubber soles, adding a slider and a gripper).

What is the equipment called for curling?

"Curling shoes," one with a slippery Teflon slider built into the sole and the other with just grippy rubber on the bottom, are used to allow players to slide smoothly down the ice during their delivery (sliding) of the curling rock. "Curling brooms" or "curling brushes" are used to "sweep" the ice in front of the rock, decreasing the friction between the rock and the ice and making the rock go both farther, and curl (curve) less if so desired. Brooms are also used by most players during their delivery for balance. Many teams will use stop watches to time a rock between certain points on the ice, to get an idea of how fast the rock is moving.
