Gotcha. I got this paddle on Amazon. I know it’s not a $300 carbon fiber, but it worked well to get me out on the water for now. This is the kayak I’m pushing around with it. It’s goes both solo and tandem, you just have to change the seat mount location. I’m sorry to say this is probably the worst time, both price and supply wise, to get into kayaking. Everything has skyrocketed. Good luck with whatever you choose to buy. We look forward to more post of your adventures.

This may get some hate from those who say sub $200-$300 paddles are crap but, I’ve ordered this one just to get me into the water for the season. I will probably upgrade it when I have the extra but this will work for now.
