If you want a hard board that feels quick, confidence-inspiring and genuinely enjoyable in mixed water, this is a very easy board to recommend. It has the glide of a longer performance shape, but with a more forgiving, more surfable feel than a pure race board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor paddlers doing fitness sessions, open-water cruising, coastal paddles and the odd bump run, the Bullet sits in a really sensible place in the SIC range.
