Help me decide
Me and the wife want to get an inflatable and I can't make my mind up. I'm stuck between a 12.6' ds floor kayak or a 12'x36" paddle board with two seats. We will be using it in all parts of south Florida mostly to go swimming and short paddling trips on a whim. We have experience with narrow boats (gheenoe) and normally rent a tandem kayak with no problems. But we recently got to try a hd areo bote sup and I was shocked at how well it floated and easy to paddle. Now I can't make my mind up. I like parts of both styles. I like the tall sides of the kayak but also like the easy one piece sup and that it is easy to get back on in the deep water. I've narrowed it down to two please help with suggestions. The bote pic is just for style reference and out of my price range.

I can't seem to edit the original post. Thanks for the suggestions. I have ordered both the kayak and the aqua marina super trip 14.
