I also have a 7' CJ Nelson Outlier which has a rolled entry/bottom and it paddles like a slug in the flats compared to the 3 other boards I mentioned. Catches waves well enough though and has good speed on the wave if it has push.
The two tri-plane bottomed boards feel like hydronamic marvels paddling in the flats. The big DVS also feels excellent but it's comparing a 7'4" carbon/eps fish to a 5'10" eps/paulownia/flax fish and 5'8" eps/flax mini-Simmons so very apples to oranges.
A pump of the front foot on the 5'10" fish gives it crazy bursts of speed.
How's that Outlier paddle into the small stuff, like knee/ thigh? Picked up a used one, have yet to ride it.

Nice description from Maurice Cole on the hull contours of his updated reverse V/Protow. Correlates exactly with my thoughts on vee Vs concave in the front section of the board. I still maintain that for a daily driver HPSB that flat up front blending into a light concave is fine.

Funny how most boards look good under the feet of pro surfers in perfect waves.
They are actually pretty fun for the average middle age bro. Got a 6.4 and a 6.8 Shiitake I really like. Can be surf at longer lengths…Easy paddler, forgiving and easy to surf. HP enough for this old man. Works in peaky beach breaks or reefs…versatile
May get a 6.6 in the future

One HP feel, other more regular feel.
I’m in the process of ordering a shittake and the shaper Blake’s distinction between the two is that the OG is essentially a mid length feel and the HP is more of a short board feel.
He rides a 5’10 short board, and a 6’6 OG, and rides a 5’10 and 6’2 HP.
Reckons the OG should be ridden longer and surfed more casual. HP more dynamic.
