14ft all around SUP

[Josh]

Good morning SUPers,

I know there isn't the perfect board for all conditions we encounter on the water. With that being said, I'm in the market for a new 14ft sup. Dana Point is my home area so I mainly paddle in the area of Dana Point, San Clemente, and Laguna. I usually head out of the harbor and head north or south depending on the conditions. The only time I stay in the harbor is when I have my son on my board or when I paddle before work and it's dark/grey light.
Below is the list of boards that have caught my interest but they are not in any particular order of preference.

JP Australia Race/Downwind
Bark Vapor Pro-elite
SIC FX Pro
SIC Bullet V2
Starboard Allstar
Niash Javelin Maliko
Coreban Dart Pro

Interested to hear comments / suggestions if you have ridden any of these boards and if you prefer one over the other. Also, the durability of the board/manufacturer. Since boards are so darn expensive, I prefer to have something that's going to last for awhile.

Thanks in advance!
