Does it come with a paddle?

Our take on the Lifetime Guster 10 ft Sit-Inside Kayak with Paddle

The Lifetime Guster is a 10-foot sit-inside kayak molded from high-density polyethylene, sold with a paddle included. It targets recreational paddlers who want a stable, easy-to-carry boat for lakes, slow rivers and calm bays. Its hull is shaped for a balance of speed, tracking and maneuverability, and it carries Lifetime's Ledge Lock paddle keeper plus molded deck rigging. Against rotomolded touring kayaks it is lighter and simpler but slower and less dry in chop; against cheap inflatables it tracks better and needs no pumping. Owners rate it highly for stability and value as a first kayak.
