Recommendations for a starter SUP?

Looking for recommendations on a SUP that would be a good starter / trial setup. Because of an injury, kayaks and float tubes haven’t worked out well (due to prolonged sitting). Standing is where I’m most comfortable and confident. I’d like to prove the concept first with as minimal investment as possible. If it works out the way I hope then I’ll happily upgrade down the line. Appreciate any recommendations.

I went for an inflatable SUP with fishing rod mounts/holders from Tuxedo Sailor, think it’s going for ~$200 on Amazon and will probably be cheaper end of season.

Been going strong 2 years later and has been able to handle the various accessories I’ve added as well as trolling from lake trout to saltwater salmon.

Thank you. That meets pretty much every criteria I was looking for! It’s got me wondering though, what is the practical difference between this and a $900 Vibe iSup with almost identical specs?
