best paddle for a newb? also need a bilge pump

[Pinoyfisher]

Starting to outfit my 'yak. I have a seat, PFD, whistle and some dry packs, but I need a paddle. Can someone recommend one? Can't afford a carbon fiber one, but I would like one that is light weight.

how tall are you? i have a 210cm you can borrow till you get one. i might visit the cemetery this weekend or during next week and we can meet.

I'd loved to hear some comments on this also, I have a paddle for WhiteWater Kayaking. Anybody selling any or know of any deals let me know.

Thanks
