Inflatable Stand Up Paddle Board Recommendations

[scross]

Looking into an ISUP for our boat. Want a good quality all around inflatable board that is durable.
Throwing out some non-essential things (like extra life jackets and spare fenders) to make room for it in the Yakima cargo box so it can’t be too big in it’s storage bag.
Needs to support up to 320 pounds if I go out with one of the grandkids.
Intended use on lakes, marinas and sheltered bays in gentle weather conditions.
Budget is $500 to $800. Considering Roc, Red Paddle and iRocker brand boards but open to others.
Any recommendations?

PS: A ISUP model with the kayak seat option would be a big plus for us.

Here's one my daughter got last year: https://freeinsup.com/collections/h...hing-paddle-board-inflatable-board-freein-sup. A bit longer and wider than a standard SUP, which works well for taking her large dog. Probably work well for your 320 Lbs as well. Seems to be very ruggedly built, it's gone through some abuse with no problem.

We have an ISLE Explorer. and are quite happy with it. They have a model called the Megalodon that supposedly holds 8 people. They are a local mfgr so have good support here in San Diego. Well made, easily transported, I recommend an electric pump - the manual is a bit of work to get the board to the recommended 14 psi. A high volume blower like a shop vac will shorten the inflate time.
We also just got a floating inflatable dock from them that is 8x8 and ties on to the swim step. It'll support two chairs and makes a nice extension of the swim step when anchored or moored.
In this time of social distancing we've even suggested tying a dinghy to each side and using it as a table while drifting in the bay rafted up. Might require strings tied to the trays of snacks to slide back and forth, but necessity and so on....

I have had a Tower inflatable SUP for several years, and it has given me good service. Seems well-built; deflates and rolls into a large packpack size.

If your local Costco has them, the BodyGlove Performer 11' that they had for $400 have worked out great for us, and a good price. Good bang for the buck.

I ordered a Bote inflatable 10'x10' dock instead of a paddleboard:

Maybe I'll have a better chance of paddling it without falling in too often. 😉
And, it'll make a nice extension to the swimstep.

I have an Isle Explorer and really like it.
