To add a little bit of extra info (and a shameless plug for my work). I work at Sport Rent and we rent the inflatable NRS baron 4. I can't say enough good things about this board. We started with one board two seasons ago and after that went well we went to two boards last year. After the 1-2 seasons of very steady use we have had to do zero repairs to anything. These SUP's have stood up to being rented virtually every single weekend and we havent had to do any matenince, pretty much a dream item from a rental shop view. I have heard some of the lower end inflateables can be pretty unsteady but when you buy the higher end brands such as NRS you can't go wrong. We have once agained doubled our rental inventory and are carrying 4 boards this year, all of them the NRS baron 4 model.
I must admit I havent been able to actually try one myself but that's because they are so popular right now that with our limited suply I can't justify taking them out and costing my store the rental on them. Hopefully this little bit of info from the rental view on everything helps out and if you want to try one out then give my shop a shout.
