Advice of Stand up Paddle Boards

I am looking to buy an SUP and full accessories for something between Leisure/Touring on flat water.There seems to be a lot choice out there and I wonder if anyone with a bit of knowledge can recommend a good brand to look at? I guess Im looking at a mid range price so this will knock out the expensive boards from the company RED.Thanks!

I've had a hard board for SUP surfing for more than 10 years but got an inflatable Quroc Qi Crossover 11' 4 iSUP Package a couple of years back and it's been great on the Thames, inland lakes, and the sea. Excellent after sales too from them.

Costco online do them- even if you arent a member you can buy them online I believe.  They are good with any after sales issues.

Thanks John,  I did actually come across the Quroc when researching so will take a second look.

I suppose it depends on whether you want an inflatable or rigid.  We’ve got this one from Aquaplanet  https://www.aquaplanetsports.com/shop/aquaplanet-max-sup-package-stand-up-inflatable-paddle-board/?gclid=CjwKCAjwqauVBhBGEiwAXOepkavobKpAnMhGL-BBbPMwWdVux-tQ-dHx7kwncicB0D7KuqqehRGF_RoCHDgQAvD_BwE  It’s superb, very stable,  great for beginners, robust, easy to inflate & deflate. Handles mild waves very well. We love it.
