If it's your first time on it. I recommend flat water as soon as the weather calms down. Get your paddling down. Then progress as your confidence grows. Good luck! What did ya end up getting.

Get yourself a good PFD and wear it. Get a whistle too. Both are required. Watch some videos about good paddling technique. An efficient stroke will make a lot of difference.

Swimming pool! Turn it over and practice getting back in. I did that with my 12 year old son and myself when we started.

You Tube and practice.
The world is yours for the taking after that.
