Paddle board recommendations

I’d love some paddle board recommendations.

For me and my 3yr old. Need 130kg weight capacity minimum. Ideally suited to someone without great balance / core stability. I’m a competent canoe / kayak paddler but balance struggles with the higher centre of gravity and the moving child on the front.

Local
pond is granite quarry so catch some pretty solid sharp edges from time to time.

Are you sure about that weight capacity?

Get as wide as you can for additional balance. Most paddle boards are between 30 and 34". The wider they are, the better the balance . . . Between 10 and 11 foot long is fine.

Yes, I’m sure about the weight capacity (as a minimum, more would give more flexibility).

Was hoping for specific recommendations rather than very general. For example, I don’t think there are many (or any) 10 ft ones that cover that weight.

I got a double chambered Aztron from decathlon which was great value. I’d also recommend a car pump!

My fb marketplace is loaded with paddleboards .
Some companies offer a try before you buy

I have a goose hill sailor for me and my daughter (she’s a small 9). It’s a 10’6 one and I think 32 wide -
Pretty affordable option as we didn’t want to spend a fortune, it’s very stable.

Our local club uses the red boards because they’re so user friendly for beginners
