And (saying this with a smile) you're saying \"mystically floating above water\" like it's a bad thing? haha - that's what I love about the Outlier - that buttery, floaty weightless feeling.  Agree with some of the other comments here - 7'6\" may be more your speed, if duck-dive-ability is the imperative. With all due respect, are any boards in the 8ft range \"easy\" to duckdive? Think its more of a time your paddle-out and use all that volume to get outside as fast as possible between sets, kind of board. Outlier wouldn't be a desert island board for me either - too specialized. In my quiver I use it to make bad waves fun and great, lined-up waves unforgettable. Anyway - keep 'em coming, love the format!\n        \n\n\nClick to expand...\n\n\n\n\nSo 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."]], "columns": ["post_id", "thread_id", "thread_title", "post_number", "author_username", "post_date", "post_date_iso", "post_body"], "primary_keys": ["post_id"], "primary_key_values": ["206064"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.6750700013071764, "license": "Public Domain"}
