| 199540 | 9758 | CJ Nelson Outlier reviews? | 24 | WesCantDress | Feb 24, 2021 | 2021-02-24T15:41:13-0500 | Great thread! Im right in the middle of shaping an 8’4 double ender with bottom contours similar to the outlier. I was going to roll the entire bottom, but decided to go with a flat in the tail like the outlier and other variations on hulls I’ve seen. CJ surfing his board may have influenced the decision a little. Current board is a rolled entry, rolled bottom tapering from the front two thirds to flat tail. Slightly different than the outlier in plan shape, as well as having 1/16” of vee out the back door, along with a low rocker. One thing I noticed on CJ’s videos (I haven’t seen board in person) is it looks like the rail profile transitions to a down rail a bit behind the riders back foot (give or take). Can anyone confirm if this is the case? What’s going on back there? Just trying to wrap my head around the different components at work in back half of his board. Also, hearing all the talk about going a little longer (8’+) makes sense as I’ve found that rolled bottoms are killer with a little extra length. 7’6 is a great size as well but will need a little more wave to go! So I pushed the length on mine to 8’4. Great to hear all this feedback about the ride as well... Think I gotta try and get one of these under my feet to get t the complete picture...
