Anyone do this, and if so can you give a review on any boards you own / have used?

I'm thinking of getting an inflatable one to start out with for price and convenience.

    My first board was an inflatable, which has pros and cons. In my lifestyle the pro was that it packed down and could easily fit in the back of my Subaru. Much easier to get in a sesh after work without having to drive around with that huge board on the roof of my car all the time. But this led to its first con; leaving an iSUP rolled up in your car can lead to a major bow. Another con was that your feet are always In the water. Some iSUP's aren't as stable as their hard counterparts. Lots of my friends are into White Water SUP, which is a completely different style board for flatwater touring. For flatwater workouts I prefer by hard board. It's more stable and faster though the water.
