Best all around SUP for SD North County

[SuppageCity]

Help Looking for a board for SD along the coastline:

I am looking for the best allaround SUP for San Diego North County.  I like Coastal paddling, Lagoon.  I saw on the SIC MAUI site

"The Bullet 12.6 has taken on its own identity in the world of SUP. A scaled down version of the Bullet 14, this board is the mountain bike of the water. Whether looking for a board that glides with ease around the harbor or you want to catch some bumps in the open ocean or lake, the Bullet 12 is for you. The Bullet 12 can often be seen in local surf lineups on smaller days, as this board can do it all. This makes it perhaps, the most well rounded board in the world. If you don’t want to have multiple boards in your quiver then you want the Bullet 12.6."

It seems like the best all around at least it is marketed as such.

Any advice would be great.

Hey Bud,

The Bullet 12.6 is a great all-around board for paddling, it is indeed the mountain bike of the water.  I think if you want good advice on the Zone, you may want to mention the following: age, experience, height & weight.  For example, if you're a beginner and over 200 I would not recommend that board. 

Also if you're not going to surf at all, you might want to consider a flatter rockered touring board.  They're faster in the flats, and North County ocean paddling is mellow most of the time...

Personally, though, I think the Bullet is the ultimate coastal cruiser that can handle the roughest waters, downwind and surf small waves too.  Not a bad choice at all.
