It's coming up on the end of the season for paddleboards and some of the brands are having sales now. Finally broke down after years of wanting one and got two Niphean boards. The 10'6" boards are as low as $199 right now with an additional 10% off when buying two. 11' models start at $249 with the same discount for two.
I picked Niphean because it's the only inexpensive brand I know of that has the center fin for stability and I am a clumsy oaf, plus it was a brand recommended repeatedly in a couple of the paddleboard subs on Reddit. I'm sure other brands have or will soon have good deals, as well.
