Both came with paddles and we bought one new pfd so far. Wondered if there is anything you would definitely suggest we add to either to get us started?
Thanks.
May want to consider a medium-sized dry bag for personal gear and dry clothes. Keep in mind that most, if not all, of the fold-down dry bags are not truly waterproof if they are submerged for awhile. I often use a smaller dry bag inside a larger dry bag. At some point, if you like the sport and want to take on a little harder water, a spray skirt will become important. Best for a kayaker to weigh in here though.
