Kids are not adults

Torso, arms, reach - all different for kids.

Banging kids knuckles on the rim/combing/bow by
an improperly sized kayak and paddle leads to frustration
and quick lack of interest in the activity.

A long cheap generic metal paddle is also very heavy
- for a young kid doing a highly repetitive movement.
