Hello Everyone,
I am so excited to finally begin my paddle boarding journey in Middle Tn, ( after Paddling for years on the Inside Coast of British Columbia).
I wanted to buy a cheaper but decent inflatable paddle board to use locally in the Nashville area. I used a Body Glove board from Costco in BC for about 4 years- and the seams blew out here a few years ago- and then life has been busy so haven't replaced it. I liked the board alot for the ocean. Looking at Costco here- they have a Tobin board or the Body Glove- with a minimal price difference ($50).
Wondering if anyone has any experience with either and would be able to comment or recommend based on their experience.. If one is better than the other.
I know there is the Kino boards available as well too, but wondering if that is too big and wide for river, and have even wondered if some cheap boards from Amazon may be ok?
I know there are better boards out there- but not wanting to spend the money- and just looking for something easy and fun- so I can get back on the water!
This would be for lake and river paddling.
I am 5'5" and 145 lbs, and my partner will also get a board 6'3" and 160 lbs.
TIA
