I think the biggest difference is the hobie is more flat orientated and the sic is more about dw. They will both work for any component of sup. the bullet will be easier to learn to dw on, and the hobie will be allot quicker on the flats

I've never tried a SIC, but i owned a 2011 Hobie Elite Race 12,6 and it's a great all around board.

If you aren't limited to those two boards, i've tried Naish, STB Coast Runner, Fanatic Fly Race, STB BOP, C4, Mistral, 404, RRD and the JM (Surftech) and from all those boards i can tell you the best "do it all" board is the new STB All Star, i own the 27.5'' in carbon and it's a perfect everyday board, still fast in the flats, surfs great and it's an amazing DW machine. I'd go for the 26'' if my goal was to win races.
