A seat on the stand up paddle board you sit on, and a attachment to the oar to make it two sided.

I had a Hydroforce 9.5' rowboat several years ago, it was amazing. Took 4 people through class I-II rapids, ocean, flatwater, no problem. 3-layer bonded PVC was super durable for the price.

Even though these carry the same name, a quick look shows that they're just like the basic Intex models with pinch welds. A few times bottoming out on the rocks and they'll probably be done. And without the skeg (fin), inflatables almost all track horribly so you'll spend half your energy just keeping it in a straight line...but it's not durable enough for whitewater, so sort of the worst of both worlds.

I'm far from an expert, I just miss my 4-year Hydroforce boat (oar snapped, no replacements). The Intex kayak lasted one summer and everyone hated it.

all iSup's are DS construction. Their 11'6" board with that center "balance" fin in the middle is a poor design. You hit a rock or even the bottom and you will go head first off the board. Crazy design, especially on a 11'6" board as they are more stable vs a 10'6" length. The Bluefin boards went OOS fast as they are a solid mid level board with high quality construction.
