{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Kayak Paddle

I'd recommend going cheap at first... should be able to find something useful and reliable under $50.   

find out what you like and don't like, what works with your boat, etc....

unless you're doing longer expeditions and heavy paddling, have found that for poking around and fishing a $40 paddle works as well as a $150 one.

I know there are several posts on here specifically about kayaks, but I'm wondering about paddles. My wonderful wife (enabler that she is), got me an inflatable Kayak for Christmas, and I'm planning to get a paddle (and a paddle leash) for it this weekend. The Kayak is the Kwik-Tek Airhead Single Person, and it's my first boat. 

Is there anything that I need to consider when getting a paddle? I plan on using the boat on flat water like Roaches Run and probably on sections of the Potomac - Gravelly Point and Fletcher's.

Any advice on paddle length, design, etc. would be very useful. 

Thanks!
