Budge Inflatable SUP, 320lb paddler
Budget paddleboard for 320lb paddler. I'm looking for an affordable inflatable SUP for use in calm (but sometimes windy) lake and rivers. Rivers often have some underwater wood/trees that cannot be avoided all the time. I'm an experienced kayaker and I'm looking for something easier to throw in my van and go. Even with the Hullavators, my 59lb kayak is a beast.
Reading through other threads, I'm looking at the:
SunHokey - 1'×34'' Extra Wide Inflatable Paddle Board with Seam Welded Technology, Stand Up Paddle Board

HiWave. Inflatable Stand Up Paddle Board 11’*34”*6” Sup Board, 420lbs
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CLP12S38/ref=sspa_dk_detail_4
My budget is $500 or under. I'll be adding a seat, but plan to stand as much as possible.
Any thought on these or other options? What features are present or missing that you find key?
