Hi everyone,

So this year one of my "New Year" resolutions is to buy a kayak. I have been twice and I absolutely love it. I am not into the white water kind of kayaking but cruising along a lake. I thought I would put out this blog to anyone who has experience and can share stories or tips or whatever about kayaking. I found a kayak kit recently at my local Costco. It comes with a roof mount thing (it actually looks like a couple of blocks that you would attach to your roof rack), a oaddle, and of course the kayak itself. It is an Equinox(?) I am not familiar with brands of Kayaks so forgive me One of my questions is how long should a paddle be for a short person or does it not matter?  I am 5'2". Thanks again!
