Team, have a couple of epoxy SUPS but want something I can easily take on the boat and not worry about damage. Have considered inflatables, but prob prefer a soft top - any advice from members who recommend a soft top for general cruising around or pls let me know if you think an inflatable is a better proposition (understanding the portability but also having to pump and deflate). TIA.
If you can carry a soft top why not a smaller inflatable and leave it pumped up? Leave it a bit underinflated to allow for expansion then top up. Some like the HONU have FCS 11 fins, easily removed until you need to use it. Cheers
