{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Inflatable Paddle Board or Inflatable Kayak?

They are definitely on the higher end of the price range, but BOTE makes some really awesome inflatable SUPs.  The Rackham is the fishing specific model, and it has all the bells and whistles you could hope for.  I've yet to paddle a SUP that large, solid or air, but I've fished off smaller SUPs in the ocean.  Once you get the balance part it becomes second nature.  I much prefer standing to sitting.  But I'd say if you were going to cover alot of water and deal with lots of wind, kayak may be the way to go.   

You should rent a SUP in Georgetown just to get the hang of it, although that may be tough this late in the year.  Keep in mind if you do rent that the paddles they have are usually terrible and have a flex point at the collar.  If you get a good paddle you won't have that annoyance.

I am looking to get a water craft of some sort over the winter and, given my lack of storage space, it's gotta be an inflatable. My question to you all is should I get an SUP or a Kayak?  I feel like the kayak is slightly more versatile, but I really don't like fishing from a sitting position.  I have never fished from an SUP, but the idea of standing is enticing.   I think I would mostly use it on freshwater lakes and ponds, but it is possible that I might want to someday try and take it out on the bay for stripers in the flats.  Any input is welcome, although I'm not really interested in your favorite brand, more about the comparison between the two concepts.

Thanks
