and probably some other stores will have a plastic container holding - rope, whistle,etc. and you can use the container for a bailer as well. All good suggestions above, but don’t think you have to get it all at once. But - you need whistle, bailer, hat, water, pfd, and a tether or rope to fasten your paddle to your boat. Pretty frustrating to drop your paddle and see it floating 8 ft away.
You will figure out what else you need with the more experience you get.
I use a big sponge just ahead of the seat to catch any drips - from rain or paddle, I mean.
Short paddle on a quiet pond… LOL
Oh sure, that’s how it starts. Give it 4 1/2 years like me and it becomes the best thing that ever happened to you.
Don’t tie your PFD to the boat, $50.00 fine.

Why would the PFD need to be tied to the boat if it’s on the paddler?
