Is this a good board

I’m on a relatively tight budget, first time buyer of a paddle board, so I’m not looking to spend 500+ off the bat while I explore the hobby. I’ve been reading up on board construction and this seems to be the only “heat welded seam” board on Amazon that is 11’ and not $700. My only concern is the 1 year warranty and 4.6 star reviews, but was wondering if this is a decent starter board.

The other option is a Starcity 11’ x 33” board which uses “heat sealing tech” and offers a 2 year warranty. It has 4.8 star reviews but has a PVC deck rather than an EVA deck, and I plan on bringing my 57 lb tripawd German shepherd with me on occasion (if he likes it!).

Which iSUP is the better option?

Hi everyone! I’m looking to get my first SUP. It’ll primarily be used for relaxing on the lake with friends, and i anticipate using it quite a bit over the summer. I’m 5’4”, about 110 lb, and have a 55lb German shepherd that will accompany me occasionally. Between these two options, which is a better option?

I prefer the 10’6” one for aesthetic purposes (i despise the color on the 11’) and less bulk, but I don’t know if it will be too unstable on days I bring my dog along.
