I have been riding Gato and Creme boards for the last 10 years and prior to that Mctavish's DTs and my local shapers mid lengths hps and logs. I surf Phillip Island SE of Melb in Oz. It looks similar to Santa Cruz type waves. Been loving a 9'9" Creme playpig recently and a 7'10" MOEarth "mother" twin keel. Anyways purchased a 9'11" CJ nelson/ Dead Kooks Guerro Silver Thunderbolt a few weeks ago. Took me a dozen waves to figure it out but this board is amazing. Comes off the bottom like the difference between jumping in a pool or using a diving board. Slashes and wheels like a foot shorter HP and paddles super well and is very stable to walk. Have not had a board with nose concave so getting used to that feel again. I am 62 now been surfing 50 years but this board has given me back 10 years I reckon. Nothing like a tufflite ..... the flex technology really does work if you load up your turns. Seriously want to offload some logs and get a Parrallax or Outlier ...... I too would love to hear a comparison between a 9'0 Outlier and 9'3" Parralax Thanks for having me. Click to expand... I read a comment by CJ saying that the parallax is a "stubby" shape and the outlier is more of a pulled in speed shape. I think they both have a fairly similar feel to their glide but the parallax has enough nose to noseride in the right section and you would still surf it with a longboard flavour whereas the outlier is only focused on turns and would ride like a big mid length. Hopefully that makes sense! |
