| 223993 | 9758 | CJ Nelson Outlier reviews? | 99 | Hodaddy81 | Oct 20, 2021 | 2021-10-20T10:46:55-0400 | Old Dude said: I've seen new Parallaxes advertised in the 8' range. (8'3x23.5x3.25) Does anybody know, how it compares to a similar sized Outlier? Without having seen them in reality, the differences look subtle. In general the Parallax appears to be wider in nose and tail (less pintail) and the widest point looks a little closer to the center, but this may just look like so, because the rails are straighter, more parallel. The bottom contours look very similar. Combined the Parallax gets more volume, catches waves more easily, should be more adapted to smaller, mushier waves than the Outlier, but still capable up to overhead. How would you compare them? Click to expand... Not sure if this helps but th Parallax is CJ's version of a super smoothie by Liddle. Outlier is pretty much a Vaquero. Both boards have his own take which is adding edge to the tail and also I am sure a little more maneuver focused bottom. If you go to CJ's Vimeo you can kinda see a touch of a trend of what he is coming out with next. He doesn't really tend to change much of what he likes. Hence Neo Classic is the Canvas 44 and the sprout is the canvas Purchase. Thunderbolt definitely changes the feel from the fiberglass version to the thunderbolt version but thats another conversation in itself. |
