Stand up paddle board recommendations

I'm planning on getting an inflatable SUP and am struggling to work out which would be the best for me - there just seem so many to choose from.
I want to use it on the local canal and calm beaches. I've done a bit of paddle boarding on a friend's SUP and want one for some relaxing paddling. I'm 5'3 and average build if that makes a difference.
Any recommendations?

We have the fanatic fly Air (10ft4) and it’s really good. Easy to pump up, and we’ve kept it inflated but covered in the recent nice weather, and it been grand. It’s light, so great for transport and easy to manoeuvre in calm water, but you need to be careful if the wind picks up- we live by the sea and take it out in the bay so always need to be mindful of wind. I presume all inflatable SUPs are the same though.
Its spacious, there is room for two adults, although we usually do one adult, one child.
It’s our first SUP so we’ve nothing to compare it to though. Happy with the purchase, and considering buying a second.

Sorry, should have said, i’m 5ft4 and average build, and can manoeuvre it easily, so it should be fine for you. Apparently the bigger you are, the more your body acts as a sail in the wind, so this is where being small acts in our favour :)
