HI everyone, looking at buying 2 inflatable SUPs to take along with us on road trips in our van (ie occasional use). My husband is still not 100% comfortable on a SUP but he enjoys cruising on flat water and if he could take his fishing rod with him, I could get him more places. Having just put a small ding in my 12.6 carbon on a submerged rock in a creek last weekend, I am interested in a solid inflatable that won't leave me stranded in the middle of nowhere. We are both lightweightish (50 and 75 kg).
Reviews point to the iRocker Cruiser 10'6", the Red Paddle Co Ride 10'6" and the Starboard Astro Atlas Zen. The Red Paddle technology is appealing, but I don't like the fin setup and it's a lot more expensive than the iRocker. The Irocker package is attractive. Has anyone got any views on these boards (or others that they might recommend?). Many thanks in advance.
