Hi, I am 28 and I am planning on buying an SUP so I have a couple of questions that I would like to get answered before i go shopping.

I was wondering of buying an inflatable one. If you own one:
do you inflate it at home or directly at the beach,
is it heavy to carry,
is it annoying when you need to inflate it,
do you use a special bag to carry all your stuff with you and if so,
what do you do with it when you are in the water?
