Welcome to the party.
My suggestion #1 is to spend good money on a comfortable PFD. If its not comfortable dry, youll never wear it on the water.
Suggestion #2 is to learn your boat without your gear on it. Find the tipping points, figure out how to board in open water if you fall off or turtle the vessel. Maybe even play around in the surf if you have the time/space. It's best to figure these things out BEFORE you load up your precious gear....
