Me and the lady went to the keys last year for a week. We yak'd a lot and paddleboarded alot. We've been talking about getting one or the other since then and after a year of debating....have reached a crossroads where your advice and insight is needed. The question: Native Versaboard or Pelican SUP? We enjoyed the paddleboards for the ability to stand and cruise and explore and also kind of enjoyed the awesome workout. We would like to use whatever we get for cruising and exploring backwaters and going up creeks and across flats to observe and explore, but naturally I cant totally neglect the fact that Im going to want to fish off the thing. Ive heard great things about the versaboard, but if I'm primarily looking to stand on something I would think the SUP would be better, no? I know you can pretty much rig anything however you want. I know nothing of the Versaboard or the SUP boards we are looking at which are the Pelican Flow 116's at Dunham's and Dick's. I do know the Versa's are about $900 and the SUP's are about $450.
All I know is....I've procrastinated too long and now Im being told that we ARE getting something tomorrow. haha. Help steer me in the right direction. Anyone who has tried to fish and also Cruise on BOTH would be awesome to hear from, in order to compare stability and other features between the Versaboard and a SUP.
