Hey all, I'm new to the sport of flatwater Kayaking and I wanted to throw
some equipment out at ya to see what you thought...

Wilderness Systems Pungo
Werner Mid-Tour 230cm Paddle
Either Kokatat OutFit Tour or Lotis Designs Locean PDF
Wilderness Systems Spray Skit
Emergency Rescue Kit (whistle, paddle float, sponge, and pump)

I'm mostly going to be paddling flat water, creeks, rivers, shallow coast
lines, and inland lakes about twice a week.  Do you have any recommended
changes in either gear or approach?

Oh and I've already taken two levels of Sea Kayak instruction from a school
so I feel pretty comfortable with safely and how to get in and out of the
boat on both dry land and in the water.
