I'm looking for a paddle for my kids ages 9 and 6. My regular 2 piece adjustable is too big for me. Any recommendations?

Thanks for the reply. That makes sense about the inflatables and getting a good lightweight paddle. My friend has a couple inflatables (Red and Starboard) so I may borrow those to see how they are. The outings will be short at this point, but it should be a blast especially the cookies and hot chocolate

My 6 and 9 year olds are just getting into paddling. I'll just take them on my local lake (no oceans/surf) at this point. What I've been doing so far is having them paddle my current boards while I sit on the back of it to help instruct them and paddle if they get tired. It works pretty well but wondering if I should get them their own boards and if so what I should look for? Also, any tips from people who have gotten their kids into the sport?

Thanks for the reply. For my size, I think I'd want the 11' which are currently $499.
After doing some more research, I'm leaning towards getting one from REI. Possibly the Bote Breeze Aero 10'8" for $650. A bit more than I was looking to spend but seems like a pretty good board.
EDIT: I just called REI and the board may not be ready for my trip a week from today and the warranty is only 1 year long. So back to the drawing board. I was also looking at a Fanatic 10'4 x 33 Fly Air on Green Water Sports but that won't arrive in time with free shipping. I may just pick up something cheap on Amazon and if I wind up using it more than anticipated, I'll upgrade down the road.

I've been on some nice Red inflatables before but never wanted to spend ~$1200 on one. I tried my friend's Feah-r-lite today on the lake today and was surprised that it felt better than expected. I may want to get something more than ~$200 tho.
I'm 180 lbs (have good balance) and just plan to use an inflatable on a lake for casual short paddles a handful of times a year. I'd also like something that easy-ish/quick to inflate. Any recommendations?

Reading this a little late, so I'll get some pics up tomorrow.
The blade and the paddle have no flex whatsoever. It's a solid aluminum shaft. But, SUPlakes, it should be perfect for what you are looking for.
I've gotten a few good deals lately on gear, so it's time to pay it forward with some of my old gear.
Sounds good, thanks!

I have an old Kialoa you can have for $50.00. I haven't used it in a while, and it is still in good condition. My son used it when he was younger and the adjustability was great. It's heavier than carbon fiber paddles, but you don't have to worry about damaging it. I think I paid around $200 for it back then. I can post or send you actual pics if you are interested.
Here's some info about the paddle:
The Sage words of Gerry Lopez, "Don't forget the beginners," are the inspiration for KIALOA's stand up paddle Hinalea. Featuring a foam-core blade and edged in Dynel, the Hinalea is tough enough to stand up to years of use. Add a bomber shaft of anodized seamless 6061-T6 aluminum and you have the perfect blend of lightness and durability. But the most exciting feature of the Hinalea is its 19 inches of adjustability from 67-86 inches. Lengthen or shorten the paddle to fit your entire family or let it grow with your young stand-up paddler. We highly reccommend thoroughly rinsing your Hinalea off with fresh water, inside and out, after each use.
• Blade width: 8 1/16th • Blade length 16 1/2 • Surface area: 100 sq inches
Awesome, I think I'll take you up on that. Is there a lot of flex in the blade and can you post a couple pics?

Not sure, $50 - $100. Could spend more if there's a huge difference

I'm looking for a second paddle that will be used a few times a year when I take friends paddling. So I'm not looking to spend a lot, yet I'd like something that is decent and not flimsy or feels like it's going to break. Any recommendations?

I'm curious who has tried one. Which did you try and on a regular SUP or foil? How tough was it to get the hang of? How was it...fun level compared to windsurfing and SUPing?
I love windsurfing but don't get a lot of wind where I am. So don't want to spend thousands on gear. But was thinking and talking to someone today about how this could be a good compromise.

I just talked to Jim and decided to go with the Thrust 92 blade at 82" length. Am looking forward to trying out the new paddle
