I've done SUP like maybe a dozen times and I really never not had fun, it's a good way to get some upper and core work and is relaxing...
What is the situation with inventory for boards this year? If it's anything like bikes it's completely fucked so should I even try and buy a board this year?
I've looked around and best inflatable SUP value seems to be Blackfin Model X but are there other options I should consider?
I assume inflatable is the best option for me. I have a Lexus IS250 with a roof rack so I could in theory get a solid board and spend like 400 bucks on a SUP mount... but then like I'm not saving any money by going solid since my all in cost would be similar when adding the rack.
Also, what's a good budget inflatable? I want to buy my GF a board for her birthday gift so she can join me. So less fancy than the Blackfin Model X but not a POS.
I saw that Costco sometimes has a Body Glove sup on sale is that any good? I'd probably have to snipe it when it comes into stock though.
Also any good spots? I saw some people launching from where Dorval/Pointe Claire meet on the Lakeshore when I was riding my road bike along there a few times... I've been to all the KSF spots before...
Also what's the law on PFDs? I'd likely run one unless I was just in some small ass lake or something, what's a good option for one?
Thanks guys!
