| 206069 | 9758 | CJ Nelson Outlier reviews? | 49 | skurp | May 2, 2021 | 2021-05-02T15:17:54-0400 | Hodaddy81 said: So as far as volume placement it just felt really big to me because most boards I ride in that size are a little less volume in general. With that said I had no problem getting a 8'3 cola pintail in the same technology under enough of the wave to be able to get out. The pintail was a little less volume in the nose in the aspect of thickness and down railed. The outlier was so buoyant at the nose that I could not even get the nose under. Thats more of what I mean. most boards in that shape / style are way more pinched in my experience. I also have had plenty of 8+boards that are wide point back that I can duck dive. Of coarse thats design. With all of this said I am interested in reviewing a " long board" in the thunderbolt tech. Personally I think it is where I will really see more + then -. Anyway thank you for the feedback and yes. good possibility the 7'6 would have been better, but I had to grab what I could get. Click to expand... Ah I see what you mean re: the shape. Also, I'm 215 lbs and believe me when I say being heavy enough to duckdive bigger boards is the only "benefit" to being an extra-large surfer. It mostly makes everything else harder haha. I've heard good things about the cola pintail as well. Give the Parallax a look, too. I rode a 7'6" outlier all winter and decided I wanted a bit more float for smaller surf -I srsly considered the 9'1 parallax because it has the same speed hull as the outlier and it's so well-reveiwed, but went with the outlier at 8 ft cause I really connected with that shape. |
