This ITIWIT inflatable paddle board sold by Decathlon is an amazing beginner/intermediate SUP board offering great stability.

The board is well constructed and you can feel and see the quality. The deck is nice and soft, yet robust.

The only downside with this board is that you need to buy a paddle and a pump separately. Most people end up buying a separate electric pump for inflatable SUPs anyway when buying the "full package" and do eventually upgrade their paddle too.

On the plus side, Decathlon generally offer very good customer service.
