The BULLET (DF) 12'6'' x 30'' has truly become a classic and both defined and dominated downwind and fitness/touring for years. The Bullet has won SUPConnect awards for Best Board Overall and Best All Around Board and won accolades from Men’s Health and Outside Magazine to mention a few. With this kind of legacy we had to take extra time and care on this newly designed Bullet to ensure that this updated shape was a significant evolution from its predecessors. We kept and fine tuned the design starting with the rocker line which is similar to the back end of the Bullet v2 but with more nose rocker more closely related to the original Bullet v1 and F14. We added a similar nose and volume as the Bayonet which recovers extremely well when the board does poke. The deck shape sheds water quickly. The widened chisel tail and the squared up rails with forgiving under-tuck handle exceptionally well in side chop, side slipping into an ocean swell, and surfing waves as well as providing additional rail-to-rail stability. We added a slight convex to the bottom nose section to mitigate nose slap when paddling head to wind.

As they call it; the Mountain Bike of Boards. This board is perfect for cruising along as well as catching some waves and downwinders. Very stable and easy to maneuver. Going from an 11ft soft board to this was night and day.

Pros
Tracking and speed are excellent. Fantastic step up for anyone looking to up their game. EZ Grab handle make carrying very easy and the board is very light so loading can be done by one person. Front bungie for gear is right there for you.
Cons
Not much to put here. Price is right where it should be for a board like this. Wouldn't mind seeing a mount for a GoPro but not a must have.
Usage
Mainly exercise but also down winding and maybe a little touring. I'm very interested in seeing if it can handle an over night trip.
