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.Do you think you're feeling the paddling benefits of the hull/chine portions of the tri hull maybe?
my anecdotal experience is that my wave catching became much easier when i started putting a little belly or v right in the entry, compared to concave from the nose back.
How's that Outlier paddle into the small stuff, like knee/ thigh? Picked up a used one, have yet to ride it.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.

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.
Funny how most boards look good under the feet of pro surfers in perfect waves.Shtake rip clip, looks good on rail:
difference in ride feel between hp and regular shiitake?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
