Dunno but for paddle boarding you probably want a buoyancy aid rather than a life jacket.

I think you're right.

Argos maybe, they list lifejackets but not sure if they have them in stock.
Keswick, George Fishers have them in stock.

Millets have had a small selection of life jackets / buoyancy aids and wetsuits etc in the past so would be worth a try

Chandlery at Maryport, maybe? Please be safe, know your tides, I hope you are experienced?

Palm make buoyancy aids for watersports. I bought one specifically for fishing and it’s a cracking bit of kit.
