Dont know about Black Friday but I have found good sales on inflatable boards and kayaks at the beginning and the end of the season. The inflatable paddle boards on sale at Aldi were $50 off the price I paid at the beginning of the season which $100 off the prices I saw elsewhere even online.

I just taught myself start slow worked my way up to kneeling then standing. Recently connected with a couple other paddle boarders at naturist venue and shared tips

The key is to balance with your paddle and always look at the horizon while standing. I didnt do that for a while and had quite a challenge. Since I have started doing that no problems whatsoever. I have an inflatable 33" wide 10' long. Its easy to transport around to the various lakes we have.

Last year was very windy in Minn for some reason. It definitely makes it more challenging. This year has been less windy so far and will see if that holds over into paddleboard season. I generally go against the wind to start when i have more energy then let the wind take me while i sun. have to watch out for sailboats though. One lake I go to has alot of sailboats. the other 2 that are connected to it only allows kayaks, canoes, paddleboards which is nice.
