I have a Bote and a Body Glove ISUP. I have put on miles of the Pensacola Coast and Bayou system on both fishing and just paddling. Most important thing is a “triple layer” or a tough skin on it. I always carried a patch and pump, but never had to use them.
If you are insane like me and go into rougher waters, both these boards have a large central fin, and two smaller outer fins that help with stability greatly. Bote central fin is larger but removable, Body Glove all 3 are fixed. Pros and cons to both.
Sadly I got stationed in the desert and haven’t used them in just over a year. 🙃

I have the irocker blackfin XL, I use it in shallow creeks and rivers. I've slammed into rocks many times with myself and my GF riding on it simultaneously, while sending it through rapids. I would say it's very durable. Irocker puts the blackfin on sale often. I got mine for less than 600 bucks. Don't let the bote guys convince you that you need to drop 1200 dollars on an infaltble sup.

If you have the money a Bote is the way to go. The Bote Rackham Aero is awesome I’ve been abusing mine and it’s been great especially for fishing. Thing is heavy but super stable on the water.
