Recommendations on paddle, seat, radio, pfd?

Perris is closed tuesdays and wednesdays

The carbon Aquabound paddles seem to get good reviews. The fiberglass hobie paddles are decent. If you buy a used one, make sure its a newer model. '09 or better i think. Pass on the higher end paddles and save the money for when you upgrade to a _ _ _ _ _.

COD apex seat as a minimum.

Radio should be Waterproof/floating.

Any high back pfd. I wouldnt recomend the Ascend Fishing PFD. The storage pockets are bulky and get in the way if you like to reel with the butt tucked under your arm. It also doesnt make it easy to attach a radio to your person either.
