206280 9758 CJ Nelson Outlier reviews? 63 skurp May 4, 2021 2021-05-04T15:34:46-0400 I'll chime in here - good that you found @jory (Hey dude!) He's been a great guy for me to talk to about all things Outlier. I'm a lot bigger than you guys (6'0 215lbs) and had the 7'6" for the winter. After getting comfortable with it, I was able to more or less able catch and ride anything that wasn't closed out between waist - shoulder high. Found it pretty versatile, all "detuned" hull things considered. Not the easiest board for me to figure out - but I think for someone my size the 7'6" demands a bit more precision and skill. Still haven't fully found the rail on it just yet - but found it much more intuitive to ride with a stiffer, straighter fin. I decided to sell it and get the 8'0" (which should be here any day now) because I got the feeling I was missing a lot of great rides - wanting that extra little bit of float to get into more of the fat, slopey waves this board loves at San O. Anyway - I'll be on the 8'0" soon enough and will give a ride report. Can't wait!! Also - I mentioned this earlier - but I'd love to see your take on the Parallax at 9'1". Folks seem to absolutely love that board - and it has the same speed hull situation the Outlier does, but in a longer format, obviously. I was debating between keeping the 7'6" and getting the 9'1" Parallax. But decided to "sell" the 7'6" and get the 8'0". I put "sell" in quotes because I planned on selling it... but of course wound up trading it for a brand new 7'1" twin haha. I'm hopeless.
