All-Around Paddle Board Overview
As the name suggests, an all-around paddle board is the Swiss Army Knife of SUP. It does it all. It is designed for all water types and can be taken on flatwater, lakes, and rivers. The only water types that you may want to opt for another SUP would be open water environments with a ton of waves or aggressive rivers. While you could probably manage, you might be better in those environments on a Touring SUP, Surf SUP or Whitewater SUP.
