Definatly take your shoes, you can use them for anything so they are well worth it, beg and borrow the rest. I hitched around New Zealand and carried all my Snowboard equipment with me it was a real pain in the ass. I may as well just rented the gear as and when I needed it. As the years go by I am slowly packing lighter. While in Spain I just boarded in my bike jacket.
I met a guy in Asia who carried a toothbrush and a book, now thats traveling light.
