As far as paddles go I am looking at a combination paddle which can be used as a twin blade or two singles, thought it would give more options and good to give the kids experience of both BUT they are expensive (£50) and work out dearer than two (cheap) double blades. OR do I really only need one paddle (I will always be in the boat as wife is not too struck on the idea)
Also thinking of getting PFD's off net - is this a good idea - how important is sizing: I have two kids 1 12 years (almost adult size) and 1 9years, so presumably they would not be able to use the same one?
Any thoughts appreciated. Ta.
