Hello:
We are looking to purchase an inflatable SUP for my 14 year old daughter. She's rather petite, about 5'3" and about 115 lb. She's enjoyed renting SUP's for the past several years, she has excellent balance and she's very athletic. She will be using this on lakes. And probably honestly about 8 times a year.
Recommendations on which models might be a good choice for her?
Thanks-

Hi Shelly,
I think I know why, but I'm going to ask anyway.
Why inflatable? I been on both sides of it.
Just figured I ask before I get into the pros and cons, some not so obvious, which I have learned the hard way.
Inflatable mostly because of portability-our vehicle arrangement makes it difficult to transport a hardboard. But I'd still be open to hearing the pros and cons because there is a chance we're in the market for a new vehicle this summer which might make that an option.
Inflatable SUP board recommendations?
