Chris is my favorite!

The Outlaw has the four channels in it, which in my experience make carving/hard stops/big splashes easier. The Sharp has a routed channel all the way around the board.

The Sharp turns really well, and is pretty stable. It is a heavy, wide wooden board. Solid for carving, spins, etc. Tried a shuvit and barely moved the board around, so that will take some practice.

JC - I bought the Ash Sharp 39" board, and am currently on Allure riding it for the first time. It's a heavy board, but nice and wide (for my big feet) and turns well. I carried it on the plane (no bag), and put it overhead on top of other folks bags once the bins were loaded. No problem. I'll probably buy a bag pre-TA.

So you buy the Ash and I will buy the waveloch then one of us will figure out we screwed up!:')

 

I am definitely going to buy something.

 

I would love to be able to carry it on as that would be my biggest worry, is what the baggage handlers do to it. I know my golf clubs have been banged around.

Done. See you on board. I'm going to try to carry it on my flights.

xpcdoojk/JC, I'll be on that Symphony TA with you. I've been debating the same thing - I want a durable board I'm comfortable letting others ride when I bring it along. I'm 6'1, 190, 50 years old and really like the shorter boards. I've been looking at the Ash Stub ($300) and trying to decide on 36" vs 39". I was on a 10 day last year with a guy who brought his Ash board (not sure what model) and pretty darn short. I'm kicking myself for not looking at the length...
